C Implementation actions

C3 Mapping of LC and LU (wall-to-wall mapping) for the establishment of land monitoring system

The objective of this action is to implement a physical database of all relevant LC and LU datasets acquired and needed in the project and to provide them to all partners using a service-based access. Monitoring activities will be harmonized and efficiently coordinated and results will be available for the requirements of different Croatian ministries and subordinated institutions. It will also facilitate data exchange with international institutions and the European Commission. A further objective is to develop a harmonized validation process for the products according to a scientifically sound validation plan.

For accessing the project services, a joint access point is important. According to the INSPIRE principles, the original data will still be kept and maintained within the providing institutions, but access should be open according to agreed standards for using web services. For those data that are new and produced within the project phase, a physical database has to be developed. For the service-based access point, existing INSPIRE related Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) and their related services will be used.

CROLIS Database & Service implementation

Creation of a physical data base on land cover and land use necessary for the realization of the project and collected from all relevant data sets. Monitoring activities will be harmonized and effectively coordinated, and the results will be available for use by project partners, government bodies and other institutions. The system will also facilitate data exchange with international institutions and the European Commission.

Capacity building for CROLIS reporting

As part of this Action, several series of training-workshops focused on the development of professional and personnel capacities will be organized as the foundation on which the operation of the CROLIS system will rest. The training of key experts and other necessary personnel necessary for the operation of the CROLIS system is planned.
