l slide 6 „European Region Centrope“ comprises of Jihomoravsky (South Moravia) and Jihocesky (South Bohemia) [CZ] The districts (Kraje) Bratislavsky and Trnavsky [SK] The Komitate (Megyek) Moson-Györ-Sopron and Vas [HU] the „Vienna Region“ including the Austrian states Burgenland, Lower Austria and Vienna[AT] Cross border region with enormous economic development potential, Centrope within Top 5 of dynamic European regions Common planning and common cross-border information exchange will increase Digital Spatial data infrastructure is seen as crucial location factor and planning basis Centrope Region – Characteristics Pilot project Centrope MAP

l slide 7 Build / Improve „(Geo-) information infrastructure“ Public sector information basis for stronger cooperation within the cross-border region CENTROPE In terms of regional developement, planning, improved location competitiveness and quality of life Ensure a prosperous common future developement Positive contribution to „Building a sustainable European region“ Major task of Centrope_Map is to make geoinformation infrastructure sustainably accessible Major project goals Pilot project Centrope MAP

l slide 8  Until now no „common basemap“ available, solely „isolated applications“ hardly any compareable statistics for thematic evalutation and benchmarks => inefficiencies, costs,... (not only technical problems...)  GeoData from various sources, in various formats, without technical and legal coordination in the region  Administrative boundaries = data boundaries  Data providers and users in a loose-loose- instead of a win-win situation  Data should go into „use“, cross-border data demand will increase  The existence of a „public“ geodataset does not necessarily mean that you can use it or even that another public administration unit can use it  We still build „info-highways“ and prevent them from beeing used … Centrope Region – background/ given situation I/ II

l slide 9  Dynamic and successful region --> needs good decisions on solid basis  GeoData + thematic attribute data highly important for modeling, regional cooperation and strategic decision making  Starting initiative was launched by planungsgemeinschaft Ost (PGO) due to increasing demand for planning related map and attribute data  Project „Digital basemap Centrope“ from 2003/ 2004  Base map requires follow-up and further extension on issues:  Technical  Organisational  Stakeholders integration  Data  Project Centrope MAP as pilot activity within Interreg III-A: „Building a European region“ Centrope Region – background/ given situation II/ II
