  2. Agenda 1. Environment matters! 2. Spatial data to benefit environment 3. Environment management with cadastral data 4. Cadaster in spatial planning 5. Conclusions

  3. Global & European Legal Acts To maintain biodiversity without compromising the needs of people – theinternational policies underline the need to include the general publics’ opinion in planning and in decision making (UN 1992,UNECE 1998, EC 2000). • The Conference on Environment and Development (Earth Summit) in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, Convention on Biological Diversitycallsfor increased public participation in environmental decision-making; • Aarhus Convention (UN ECE, 1998) - culmination of efforts, an opening for sound public participation; • Directive 2003/4/EU on theright of access by the public to environmental information held by or for public authorities.

  4. Environmentallegislation Globalized world with rapidly evolving processes including climate change, population growth or environmental degradation -> protection, mitigation, adoption. • Environmentallaws: • FloodsDirective • Birds&HabitatsDirective – Natura 2000 • Water Framework Directive • NoiseDirective • PesticidesDirectives • BiofuelDirective • CommonAgricultural Policy • Others ..

  5. Environmental management - areas • Existing protected areas – proper maintanace based on protection plans or any other adequate ones. • Designation of new areas under protection – e. g. Natura 2000 ecological network. • Areas not covered by any formal protection with different mechanisms of protection: • Spatial planning (for biodiversity) • HNV areas • others

  6. Environmental management - data considerations • Reliable information for decision-makers and the general public. • Share of data – easy and seamless integration of data from different sources. • availability of geospatial data has grown dramatically (last 30 years) • technological boom observed in last years stimulated the production of new and updating of existing data • Different means of communication – access to an enormous and continuous flow of information. INSPIRE Directive !

  7. INSPIRE Directive • INSPIRE – an infrastructure for spatial information in Europe for the purposes of Community environmental policies and policies or activities which may have an impact on the environment. • Information, including spatial information, isneeded for the formulation and implementation of policies, which must integrateenvironmental protection requirements. • In the INSPIRE context, cadastral parcels are mainly used as locators for geo-information in general, including environmental data.

  8. CADASTRE & EUROPEAN ECOLOGICAL NETWORK NATURA 2000

  9. European ecological Natura 2000 network • Centrepiece of EU nature & biodiversity policy. • EUwide network of nature protection areas established under the 1992 Habitats Directive. • to assure the long-term survival of Europe's most valuable and threatened species and habitats. • comprised of Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) designated by Member States under the Habitats Directive, and also incorporates Special Protection Areas (SPAs) which they designate under the 1979 Birds Directive. • Natura 2000 is not a system of strict nature reserves where all human activities are excluded. • Most of the land is likely to continue to be privately owned and the emphasis will be on ensuring that future management is sustainable, both ecologically and economically.

  10. Natura 2000 network – determination of sitesin PL • introductory (draft) range in the scale 1:100K (year 2004) • more detailed determination in the scale 1:25K or 1:50K (year 2007) • detailed determination (selected areas) to the scale of individual cadastral parcels if possible

  11. Natura 2000 inrelation to thecadastralparcels

  12. Cadastre for protected sites • Cadastral parcels areused for defining the boundaries of protected sites. • Cadaster registry indicateswhichterritoryshall be specificallyaffected by theenvironmental rights and duties applying to a parcel. • Localization of parcels + otherdescriptive data (fromthe land registry) allow for determination of thestructure (use) of parcels and identification of land owners. • On theotherhand, we do not have to knowall land ownerswithin Natura 2000 areaifconservationgoalsarebeingachievedthroughmore general mechanisms, e.g. implementation of agri-environmentalprogrammes.

  13. CADASTRE & AGRI-ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMMES

  14. Agri-environmental programmes – environmental protection in agriculture The EU's rural development policy is all about meeting the challenges faced by our rural areas, and unlocking their potential. The agri-environmentalprograms are obligatory political measures in creating a policy of rural areas EU regulation 1257/99

  15. Agri-environmental programmes – environmental protection in agriculture Plan for Development of Rural Areas (PDRA) in Poland (Plan RozwojuObszarówWiejskich – PROW) National Agri-Environmental Program (NAEP) - integral part of PROW. Axis 2: Improving the environment and the countryside • 211, 212. Support for farming in mountain areas and in  less-favoured areas (LFA), • 214. Agri-environmental programme, • 221, 223. Afforestation of agricultural land and non-agricultural land, • 226. Restoring forestry production potential damaged by natural disasters and introducing appropriate prevention instruments.

  16. Agri-env database • Informationsourceabout: • the state of preservation of precioushabitats (phyto-sociologicaldocumentationdatabase), • variants of agri-environmental „packets” implemented by thefarmers. • Supports monitoring of nature-sensitiveareasinwhichagri-environmentalprogrammesareimplemented . • Supportstasks of experts and otherpartiesinvolved (e.g. RegionalDirectorates of EnvironmentalProtection).

  17. Input data • Location and shapes of: • RSS - habitat plots location + reports; • RSO – ornithological plots location + reports; • Phyto-sociological plots location; • Reports – analysis from surveys, description of habitat or ornithological plot; • Additional data. All in a direct relation to cadastral data.

  18. Backgrounddata (WMS/WFS): • Orthophotomap. • Land registry lotswith ID numbers, • Administrativedivision, • Protectedareas. • Collected data: • RSS/RSO lots (localization, shape, id) • Non-harvestedareaswithinlots • Centre points of performedphyto-sociologicalplots

  19. Information products • thenumber and area of agriculturalparcelsdeclaredinnature-relateddocumentation, against • thenumber and area of theseparcelsdeclared by theirowners to be subsidized by agri-environmentalsubsidies, against • information on decisionstaken by theAgency for the Development and Modernisation of Agriculture on grantingornon-granting of suchsubsidies.

  20. CADASTRE & High Nature Value (HNV)

  21. CommonAgricultural Policy & HNV • High NatureValue (HNV) farming • essential for preserving biodiversity and other environmental goods in many European rural areas, • frequentlyprovide a wealth of qualityecosystem services, • a vital element to halt biodiversity decline by 2020 and spare whole rural areas in Europe from being abandoned. • European Commission ‘CAP towards 2020’ (November, 2010) and ‘EU biodiversity strategy to 2020’ (May, 2011) propose a generic greening of the EU farm income support.

  22. Delimitation of HNV areas Methodology of delimitation of HNV areas • Thematiclayers • CORINE Land Cover; • Map of theHydrographicDivision of Poland; • EuropeanEcological Network Natura 2000; • Database of the National System of ProtectedAreas; • Biologicalvalue of forestsdatabase; • GIS Wetlandsdatabase. • Reference data • Cadastralprecincts; • boundaries of communes (National Register of Boundaries).

  23. Methodology • Analyses of spatial thematic data (main steps) • Vector conversion to raster (100m x 100m, 1ha), • logical sum of layers – areas with a high natural value received number „1” and remaining areas receive a „0” • neighbourhood analysis – method of Focal Statistic („moving frame”) • Averaging values for cadastral precincts.

  24. HNV values averaged for precincts

  25. CADASTER & SPATIAL PLANNING

  26. Cadaster & spatial planning • Local planning – cadastral parcels as a background data for a given local spatial management plan. • Defining sites for new infrastructural investments. • Monitoring of land use change • Public participation in the planning procedure – geoparticipation.

  27. Public participationinspatialplanning • GIS based tools as support to public participation. • web-GIS technology is an easy an effective approach to public participation. • The current advances in the so called “participatory GIS” give possibilities to support good governance based on information and knowledge, as well as active involvement of the citizens. • Some web-GIS applications areequippedwitha discussion panel (editing of map objects, introducing comments to the given object) • integrating them to the geometric representation of the comments stored in the form of shape file at the working database.

  31. CADASTER & ECOSYSTEM SERVICES

  32. New area of application:ECOSYSTEM SERVICES New EU approach to nature conservation in its COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEANPARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL, THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEEAND THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS Our life insurance, our natural capital: an EU biodiversity strategy to 2020

  33. Categories of ecosystem services (1) regulating services: water quality, water quantity, climate change mitigation (carbon sequestration, carbon substitution); (2) provisioning services: wood fibre, timber (quality for construction), including timber processed locally (value added), hydro–energy, wind-energy, livestock, fisheries, wood fuel etc. (3) supporting services: biodiversity (benefits stemming from rich biodiversity of the area, e.g biodiversity business potential); (4) cultural services: traditional landscapes, recreation, tourism (incl. agro- and ecotourism), traditional crafts/skills, social cohesion, health and wellbeing, outdoor learning.

  34. Ecosystem services – value of land • Widerange of quality (high value) ecosystem services increasesthevalue, despitesome land userestrictionsimposedinnaturesensitive (protected) areas; • Ecosystem services and theirassessmentarebecoming an importantcomponentstronglyconnectedwith: • spatialplanning, • land registry; • land valuation; • natureprotection • planning and implementing land use / land management measures and practices.

  35. CONCLUSIONS • INSPIRE acceleratedthe broad access to cadastral data. • Access to cadastral data is a chance to more precise approach in environmental management, so crucial nowadays. • Added value – differentthematical(e.g. ecosystem services) information can be linked to a particular parcel. • Access to new technologies open new application fields like mobile mapping or geoconsultations, withaccess to correctcadastral data
