3. WHO ARE WE
The WBU, acting on behalf of the Lubuskie Wielkopolskie
Brandenburg
Marshal ‘s Office of Lower Silesia,
creates spatial development plans,
studies, analyses, concepts and
participates in international POLAND
GERMANY
projects related to issues
connected with regional spatial Sachsen
development Lower Silesia
Location of Lower Silesia with two Opolskie
Severocesky
neighbours along the borders
(Czech Republic and Germany) is
the reason why cross‐border CZECH REPUBLIC
cooperation is important especially Vychodocesky
Praha
in spatial planning.
Stredocesky

5. REGIONAL SPATIAL INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE
Directive of the Marshal of the Lower Silesia Voivodeship (8th of September 2008)
on the Tasks of the Marshal Office Departments and other selfgoverment bodies of the Voivodeship
related to:
‐ running, updating and authoring voivodeship databases making up Lower Silesian Spatial Information
System (DSIP)
‐ standard of spatial data transferring (graphical and descriptive)
Organises information on data bases collected by various units of the Marshal Office and
Systematises databases according to the regulations of the Inspire Directive

11. POVIAT ZGORZELEC INTERNET MAP SERVICE
Bilingual (German, Polish) internet service for the Zgorzelec Poviat (2007)
•Spatial development information for the communes of the poviat
•Tool for local communities to direct access to spatial development
information
•Contains extract from local spatial development plans and other planning
documents (SUIKZP)
KOREG 2007 „Coordination of regional spatial planning Euroregion
Neisse”
•Funding from the Community Initiative INTERREG III A Presentation
of planning documents on interactive web map; initiative of local
authorities from the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland
•Different technical solutions ‐ Problems with integration
Aim to test functionality of such a service as:
•Tool for local authorities aiding local policy making,
•Source of information for local communities,
•Source of information on locations for investors
Thus leading to harmonization of spatial development and
publicising spatial development planning information

19. CONCLUSIONS
• In all of the presented examples, a lot of work has been done to overcome problems
connected with lack of standards regarding e.g. collecting, transferring and accessing
data
• Inspire Directive is essential for spatial development studies, especially with
crossborder cooperation
• New Spatial Information Infrastructure Act in Poland is hope for implementing
standards and regulations of creating and using SDI
• New project is aimed to support all of these tasks
