Regional spatial information systems have been realized in Poland for four years. They are coming into being as the components of National Information about Ground System and are realized in the form of digital maps by Regional Geodesists. Rich database in digital form for spatial planning needs, which are basic for Regional Spatial Development Plans realization, is being created simultaneously.The accomplishment of detailed spatial information systems based on GIS ( Geographic Information System ) for overregional areas has not been taken up so far.

One of the South Baltic Arc project aims is to create such a system and to use it for realizing content-related assumptions of this project, and in the future for various subject management integration in Polish part of the Via Hanseatica corridor developmental zone, monitoring of tha development in this zone and as a future component for bigger - Baltic Spatial Information System.

Presented overregional spatial information system for Polish part of South Baltic area is based on digital database made avialable by Regional Geodesists, Spatial Planning Offices which are found in provincial council structures and on data specially created for the project needs. Data base is coming into being with the usage of GIS software - MapInfo, ArcView 3.x/8.x, ArcGIS 8.3, ArcIMS 4.01. It is being created in the uniform for the whole area of the project frame of reference 1992(one-zonal for Polish area Gauss - Kruger projection of GRS-80 elipsoid with axial meridian Lo=19 ). Graphic information precision of drawn up base equals to 1:50 000 and 1:100 000 scales. All the graphics objects in database are fitted with descriptive attributes. Final effect of the study will be made available to all the partners of the project in the form of database in *.tab (MapInfo) and *.shp (ArcView/ArcGIS) formats. For other receivers elaborated data will be available in the form of interactive maps and thematic maps enclosed on the project internet website.

Digital data base resource developed for project needs:

  • Administrative base - layers: the seats of local governments at gmina and powiat level, area of local administrative units (gmina, powiat and województwo)
  • Area covering base - layers: reservoirs, watercourses (traverse),watercourses (linear), forests, built-up area
  • Transport base - layers: powiat roads, voivodship roads and national roads
  • Nature conservation base - layers: nature reserves, national parks, Biosphere World Reserves, landscape parks, protected landscape areas
  • Tourist-cultural objects base (will follow)
  • Designed and suplementary objects base (will follow)
