NSDI – Poland Beginnings 80’s80’s Land information system (Land) Multipurpose cadastre early 90’searly 90’s Concept of a land information system (pilot project in Lodz) 1994-19951994-1995 the NSDI Programme Council worked out guidelines for conception, diagnostic and prognosis of the future NSDI 2

3. NSDI - Poland The research project "Concept of the Polish Spatial Information System”, commissioned by the Ministry of the Interior and Administration and financed by the State Committee for Scientific Research were conducted by the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography in Warsaw July 1998 - March 2001 The project has been implemented in cooperation with Warsaw University of Technology, Academy of Mining and Metallurgy in Cracow, Warmia-Mazury University in Olsztyn, Silesian University as well as other units and individual experts and consultants 3

4. NSDI - Poland The main aim of the project was to propose a general concept of the national spatial information system (SIS=NSDI), which would function as an integrated system, based on existing and future geographic information systems One of the element of the governmental infrastructure necessary for the government proper functioning The main user: governmental and local administration Then: other organisations inc. private companies, and citizens 4

5. NSDI - Poland The works were conducted in the thematic blocks, comprising the following tasks: NSDI users and their needsNSDI users and their needs informational and legal aspects of NSDIinformational and legal aspects of NSDI technical and functional aspects of NSDItechnical and functional aspects of NSDI a conceptual model of NSDIa conceptual model of NSDI an economic model of NSDIan economic model of NSDI a final conceptual version of the Polish NSDIa final conceptual version of the Polish NSDI 5

Regional level system of NSDI pilot project 8. NSDI model solution on regional level Local level system of NSDI pilot project 9. Completion of operational version of NSDI 13

14. NSDI - Poland (On-going activities) 1. Works on geographic information norms and standards; 2. Further development of local and regional GIS and new initiatives taking up by local administrations; 3. Preparing to creating the National Land Information System in accordance with the new regulations: Creating of the national geographic database in the scale of 1:250 000 and metadata database; Creating of the national geographic database in the scale of 1:250 000 and metadata database; Preparing to run National Geodetic and Cartographic Resources in digital form; Preparing to run National Geodetic and Cartographic Resources in digital form; Creating the topographic database and digital terrain model in the scale 1:10 000 (pilot works); Creating the topographic database and digital terrain model in the scale 1:10 000 (pilot works); 4. Establishing the Integrated Cadastral System (conceptual and project works); 14

15. NSDI - Poland (On-going activities) 15 During the project realisation more then 30 spatial information systems, most of them on the local level, were analysed; The core data: the land and building register, the base map, large- scale topographical maps. So there were more land information systems then geographical ones and sometimes rather digital maps then systems

16. NSDI - Poland (On-going activities) 16 Spatial information systems on the regional level are created or developed almost in every of the 16 provinces in Poland the Cracow province (the oldest, with a quite big deal of geographical information); the Lodz province (the most advanced one from a network connection between local and regional administration offices point of view, but limited to land and building register data), the Silesian province (the most advanced system from the designing methodology point of view, and only one matching all the objectives of the Concept of the Polish NSDI).
