Nature-GIS partnership kick-off meetingDublin, July 2nd
Nature-GIS: a European thematic network for Protected Areas/Nature Preservation and Geographical Information
Thematic networkIST Programme, code IST-2001-34641Start April 2002Duration 36 months
Participants:• GISIG • JRC /IES• Aberdeen University• IONIC software• University Evora• Cemagref• Regione Piemonte • Tarnium• University of Grenoble Joseph Fourier• Euronatur• Girona University, GIS Center• Lulea University of Technology• Ursit Ltd• University of Cyprus• VUGTK - Research Institute of Geodesy, Topography and Cartography• Estonian Environment Information Centre• University of West Hungary • Jagiellonian University• University of Zilina
Main objectives and output:
Objectives• Improving reporting related to the implementation
of the EU Nature Protection and Biodiversity Policy area
• To support public access to data and information in the EU and in the new accession countries
• To raise awareness regarding the use of GI-GIS in this field
Output• Technical guidelines for GI data for protected areas• Definition and demostration of a Web access to GI
data• The thematic network NATURE-GIS
Expected outcome:
• use of the Guidelines to implement GIS in protected areas
• demonstration of how is applicable web access to information in the field
• European awareness for a supra-national approach in GI management in protected areas
• establishment of a pan-European “Nature-GIS group”
