14 GISEE - GIS Technology & Market in SEE - Study IST - 2001 - 37994 Münsteraner GI-Tage, 26.-27. Juni 2003 14 The legal situation  Constitutions guarantee basic information rights  EU accession drives the legislation  Some countries advanced –Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria  Special laws for spatial data in –Bosnia-Herzegovina: physical planning –Bulgaria: cadastre, geodesy

15 GISEE - GIS Technology & Market in SEE - Study IST - 2001 - 37994 Münsteraner GI-Tage, 26.-27. Juni 2003 15 The GISEE Survey  Terms of Reference – data definition  Local survey by national coordinators  Questionnaire Organizations, technology, data organi-zation, spatial data and metadata Web based data collection  Local survey by national coordinators  Central analysis

16 GISEE - GIS Technology & Market in SEE - Study IST - 2001 - 37994 Münsteraner GI-Tage, 26.-27. Juni 2003 16 Survey - Experiences  Owners, providers at national, regional and local level; users as much as possible  Length of questionnaire (29 pages)  Too many surveys  Number of questionnaires ≠ size of country  Lack of understanding of spatial data  Inconsistencies in questionnaires  First survey of this kind in SEE

25 GISEE - GIS Technology & Market in SEE - Study IST - 2001 - 37994 Münsteraner GI-Tage, 26.-27. Juni 2003 25 Spatial data in SEE  All types of data exist –Digital and vector form, good accuracy –National coverage –Not up to date  Formats –Vendor specific, national –Tiff, Jpg, Dwg, Dgn  Reference systems UTM (Research), GK  Data are expensive or access restricted  Private sector very active

26 GISEE - GIS Technology & Market in SEE - Study IST - 2001 - 37994 Münsteraner GI-Tage, 26.-27. Juni 2003 26 Example: Croatia  Large scale topographic maps out of date  Large areas covered by land mines  Relocation of people/ land ownership  Original maps held in Belgrade  Previous national structures do not exist any more

27 GISEE - GIS Technology & Market in SEE - Study IST - 2001 - 37994 Münsteraner GI-Tage, 26.-27. Juni 2003 27 NSDIs: Weak Points  Organizational –Coordination and responsibilities  Data are present, but disperse and old  Lack of awareness and knowledge  Little use of standards  Low level of education  Information Society base weak

28 GISEE - GIS Technology & Market in SEE - Study IST - 2001 - 37994 Münsteraner GI-Tage, 26.-27. Juni 2003 28 NSDIs: Strong Points  Private sector very strong  Applications drive use of spatial data –Environment –Land ownership  EU accession as catalyst

29 GISEE - GIS Technology & Market in SEE - Study IST - 2001 - 37994 Münsteraner GI-Tage, 26.-27.
