INSPIRE Conference 2011 Edimburgh, July 1st, 2011 INTEROPERABILITY AND SPATIAL PLANNING Franco Vico AMFM GIS Italia Flavio Camerata - DipSU, Università Roma Tre
European Network of Best Practices for Interoperability of Spatial Planning Information Co-funded by the Community programme econtentplus
The Plan4all project: INSPIRE spatial data themes addressed Land cover Utilities and Government Services Production and industrial facilities Agriculture and aquaculture facilities Area Management/Restriction/Regulation Zones and Reporting Units Natural Risk Zones Land Use
The Land Use theme INSPIRE definition territory characterised according to its current and future planned functional dimension or socio-economic purpose (e.g. residential, industrial, commercial, agricultural, forestry, recreational) [ ]. Land use may be characterised as ordinary mapping of existing functions as an objective picture of the use and functions of a territory, but may also be plans characterising how land may be utilised at present and in the future. INSPIRE Directive
Land use / land cover There is a multitude of different ways to describe land use. This is [ ] partly due to the confusion between land use and land cover in existing datasets. There is only one "real world" but many different descriptions of this world circulate D2.8.III.4 Data Specification on Land Use Draft Guidelines, p11
Why is interoperability needed in spatial planning? Reasons related to planning theory and practice Vertical interoperability Planning levels: - municipal - province or department - regional - national Sector plans (e.g. commercial plans, transportation plans ) Special plans (e.g. parks plans, river basin plans ).
Why is interoperability needed in spatial planning? Reasons related to planning theory and practice Vertical interoperability Planning levels: - municipal - province or department - regional - national Transcalarity: the issue of looking at the same territory and the same problems in different ways and from different points of view Sector plans (e.g. commercial plans, transportation plans ) Special plans (e.g. parks plans, river basin plans ). Different data resolution (scale)

Planning levels: Reasons related to planning theory and practice Vertical interoperability - municipal INSPIRE Principles - province or department - regional Spatial data should be collected at one level of government - national and shared between all levels of government Transcalarity: the issue of looking at the same territory and the same problems in different ways and from different points of view Sector plans (e.g. commercial plans, transportation plans ) Special plans (e.g. parks plans, river basin plans ).

Communication and participatory reasons: need to understand planning regulation of bordering regions (for investors, stakeholders, decision makers ) need for understandable and interchangeable data in co-planning activities and procedures

D2.8.III.4 Data Specification on Land Use Draft Guidelines Existing Land Use ELU Planned Land Use PLU which is composed of spatial plans, defined by spatial planning authorities[...]. Planned land use is regulated by spatial planning documents elaborated at various levels of administration D2.8. p VI Minimum unit of interest (MUI)

Plan4all data model / Data Specification on LU The Plan4all model is based on land use form [sic] a planner s point of view, so it is less useful for the existing land use. Besides this it is also a complicated model with a lot of detailing D2.8.III.4 Data Specification on Land Use Draft Guidelines, p 92

Conclusions Attempt to describe in a normalized yet complete way the datasets concerning spatial plans of very different kinds and origins Goal of interoperability is still far away (for technical and cultural reasons) Need to deal with different data resolutions Need to go against planners love for «creativity» Need for digital plans to have legal value Participation in the Testing phase of data specifications for INSPIRE Annex II and III, involving stakeholders who participated in Plan4all data models validation phase
