INTRODUCTION
Supranational Integration Process and EU
Integration of Geographical Information Management
As you know, our age is defined as INFORMATION AGE. In this period suppranational integration processess are improved. EU is one of the example of these supranational organisations. Moreover, amount and speed of geographical information improving day by day. So, the coordination of this geographical information becoming a problem for the countries and unions. At this point, INSPIRE rose as a tool to coordinate all these geographical information in EU.

Turkey, as a candidate country, is following e-europe attempt. In the light of this attempt, our country has started “Information Society Action Plan” to serve quick, transparent, participatory and qualified public services. At the end of this period Turkey will have efficient public process and bureaucracy.

Of Course. This project was established on logical & legal hierarchy. This slide shows this hierarchy. Most importatnt criteria is INSPIRE Directive which is an international standart. In the national level initial criteria is an Information Society Action Plan which is made by State Planning Organization. This Organization has task to organize ministries and other Public institutions. Finally, the lower level, our ministry, Ministry of Environment and Forestry has prepared Environmental Spatial Planning Portal.

Environmental Spatial Planning Portal
Ministry of Environment and Forestry and ESRI Turkey aims to “Establishment of Planning Portal on Geographical Information in Turkey”
In the light of this aim “Information of 1/ scaled territorial plan database and web application works” has been done by Ministry of Environment and Forestry.
At this time I want to give general information about territorial plans. This is importatnt because, our portal is based on these territorial plans.

Relationship Between Planning Portal And 1/ Scaled Territorial Plans
1/ scaled territorrial plan is the second plan in Planning Hiyerarchy System of Turkey.
It contains very large areas. (For example this plan which you see on the screen contains two provinces. Name of the provinces are Antalya and Burdur. The area of this plan is 43341,4 km2 )It is a very big area. I will make it clear with one example. Belgium is km2 This Planning area is much bigger than the Belgium.
Also, These territorial plans contains too much information and data about land use system. Yuou can see the tourism, settlement, forestry, farming areas with the help of these plans.
These plans are also frame for the other small scale implementation plans. This plan scale is tthe main desicion tool for land use system.
11 planning areas are joined and datas of these plan areas are integrated in the period of this project.

National Standarts
ISO TC-211 Standarts
INSPIRE Directive
OGC (OGC Working Groups),
XML, UML...etc
Of course all these workings based on some national and international standarts. You see the national and international standarts which we use in our workings. Now I will give you some examples from ISO and INSPIRE standarts.

ISO/TS (Geographic Information - Conceptual schema language)
ISO (Data Product Specifications)
ISO/TS (Geographic Information-Metadata-XML Schema Implemantation)
ISO/CD (Web Feature Services)
For example we used ISO Standarts for conceptual schema language, Data Product Specification, Metadata Schema Implementation and Web Feature Services.

INSPIRE Data Specifications on;
Administrative Units (D2.8.I.4)
Transport Networks (D2.8.I.7)
Hydrography (D2.8.I.8)
Protected Sites (D2.8.I.9)
And also we used some standarts from INSPIRE for Administrative Units, Transport Networks, Hydrograph and protected sites.

Rational & Comprehensive Planning Approach
In the light of the standarts and logical framework which I have explained in the previous slides, planning portal has been set up in three stages. In the first stage which is Analysis and Design, Firstly all 1/ scaled territorial plans has been analysed. After analysing, all the datas has been harmonized and integrated according to national and international standarts.
In the second stage which is data integration all these analysed datas has been joined and integrated according to standarts and data base system which was also set up according to standarts.
In the Final Stage web application and system design has been finished for user’s analysing and inquiries.

ANALYSIS & DESIGN / Analysis of Existing Data
Unorganised databases and map documents of 11 planning areas which are not compatible with standarts has been analysed and then they became organized inventory which fits national and international standarts. 14

Analysis and Design/ Standardisation
1. Filtering
Spatial types
Spaghetti lines to Network
2. Reclassification of attribute values
Polygon to Line - Line to Polygon
3. Renaming of feature classes or attributes
Other types
e.g. Numeric to String
4. Merge / split of features or attributes
6. Augmentation
5. Type conversions
I want to show you one example from our first stage of planning portal establishmet. Blue line which is a line data has been analysed and it changed into polygonal data which is meaningfull and practible for inquiries. Actually as an administrative unit blue line should have drawn as a polygonal data. But in our 1/100000territorial plans ıt had been drawn as a line . At this stage we checked and corrected all these kind of mistakes. We made also filtering, reclassification of attribute values, merging etc. 15

DATA INTEGRATION
Second stage is Data Integration Stage. At this level territorial plans of 11 planning areas has been integrated. By this wat allthese plans has become manageable and navigable.
In the second stage of project, all these 1/ scaled territorial plans which has different geographical database have been integrated. Moreover, this geographical database became manageable and navigable. 18

Access to plan data for everyone (according to some permission),
GIS infrastructure for all planning data,
Integrated Models by using GIS infrastructure,
Planning Information system.
With the pllanning portal, we established a GIS infrastructure for planning datas. Planning portal let people to reach planning datas in the frame of some permission. And we made integrated models as well. Moreover, we can do monitoring with the help of this portal.
Planning Portal make possible to access 1/ scaled plan information for everyone by organizing information. 22

Planning Portal;
Search
Interoperate
Share
In other word, basically this portal supply ability to search and use listed data by downloading or directly. And also, users can share, spread and generate information by using this planning portal interface.
This Planning Portal can make searching. For example user can access thematic or geographical data or services related with defined geographical area
Also you can make categorisation.
Portal let users to put information and services in defined catalog for distributing. 23 23
