CZ - SK National WorkshopPrague, October 2nd 2002
Main objectives and output:
Objectives• To support the provision of harmonised geo-information
about Protected Areas • 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

CZ - SK National WorkshopPrague, October 2nd 2002
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”

First project phase:
Assessment of:• user needs• data requirements• functional requirements
![Page 13: CZ - SK National Workshop Prague, October 2nd 2002 Nature-GIS: a project outline GISIG](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b338be/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

You can already do
something for Nature-GIS: We are currently in the assessment phase and a
questionnaire addressing the Nature-GIS stakeholders is to being released very soon. To have a good assessment of the needs in this region would help very much:
• (us) to have a more complete picture of the different situations
• (you) to favour the link to the overall European context and a better representation of your needs in this context

WELCOMEThis is the first newsletter of a series we are going to
publish every fourth month with the objective to keep youinformed about the Nature-GIS network.
The newsletter is intended to be a broadcast tool for thecommunication and the diffusion of the Nature-GIS
achievements.
It will include, together with the general information onthe network, its progress activities, reports by the
members about the network and its related initiatives, aswell as hints for the debate about other important issues
in the field.
We will do at our best to maintain the newsletter as aplatform for timely information and lively discussions
about the project and its related theme.
Suggestions and comments are warmly accepted [email protected]
In this first issue you will find an outline of the project andthe description of partners which are working on it.

INSPIRE
The INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe initiative aims at making available relevant, harmonised and
quality geographic information for the purpose of formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of Community
policy-making.
![Page 23: CZ - SK National Workshop Prague, October 2nd 2002 Nature-GIS: a project outline GISIG](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b338be/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
CZ - SK National WorkshopPrague, October 2nd 2002
Almost all themes of the environment policy (water, forestry, climate, soil, biodiversity…) have a spatial dimension.
the principal need for INSPIRE:
an Information Base that provides detailed relevant harmonised spatial information for different policy areas (related to the environment) and that is commonly accessible.
![Page 24: CZ - SK National Workshop Prague, October 2nd 2002 Nature-GIS: a project outline GISIG](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b338be/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
CZ - SK National WorkshopPrague, October 2nd 2002
Nature-GIS is a network bringing
together the different stakeholders in
protected areas, both users and experts in IT
and in nature conservation, to
address the requirements for
geographic information in
protected areas, with special reference to European policies
in this field.

Just at the end:Thanks to the organisers of this double-
National [:-)] workshop, the first one since the project has started.
We do hope that Nature-GIS will able to give a small contribution for the management of environment and of nature of two beautiful Countries that for sure offer meaningful elements to assess and test the chosen approach.
