Project Results - PP9
Work Package - 3, Technical Deliverables
PP9 ASDE-Ecoregions is fully engaged with WP-3 and it’s comprises activities „Development of common resources for territorial planning analysis and strategy“.
The general objective is to develop a comprehensive harmonized reference spatial database on land cover for the cross-border area belonging to Romania, as part of the common information resources needed for the elaboration of the common strategy for sustainable territorial development and impact monitoring for the entire project area. The resulted dataset will be integrated with the identical datasets built-up for the Bulgarian part of the cross-border area.
The harmonized spatial database on land cover should serve as reference basis for the various sector thematic layers that could be part of the common information resources established for the cross-border area. Through its integration with the existing spatial database available in the project region it will constitute the backbone of the spatial data infrastructure (SDI) needed for territorial planning. The produced land cover information will be integrated later into a specific Web - GIS portal to allow easy access to the data both for state (local, national administration) and public structures.
Access to the Web-GIS architecture „SmartCover“, could be found at:
PP9-[WP3] - SmartCover - User Manual, version 1.0
The WP3 activities are integral part of those from WP1, WP2 and WP4, as outlined within last sections “Important notice”.
Important notice: In respect to the obvious impossibility of the state administrations, in order to provide the necessary basis for setting-up „SmartCover“ architecture, that would provide access to the cross-border harmonized spatial data (activity on WP3), PP9 - ASDE-Ecoregions, took in own hands the creation of the geo-portal - based on its own resources, together with an hardware support provided from the European Commission - DG JRC-IPSC, on the basis of agreement between the ASDE and DG JRC.

MARKETING
Expected actions are that in order to achieve this goal, a hardware package is going to be purchased by each project partner (PP) and delivered to the local administration at level each County/District, together with appropriate software, including a GIS software translated in Bulgarian, Romanian and English, allowing access, viewing, editing and analysis of spatial data. The coordinated access to data will be ensured by developing a common data centre shared by the Ministries for territorial development both in Bulgaria and Romania.
