BASIC SDI ELEMENTS TOOK IN TO CONSIDERATION:

• Institutional framework, including

• legislation, organization, policies and practices

• rules for financing and pricing and for handling of security, vulnerability and

integrity.

• Standards, including methods for

• describing spatial data

• searching spatial data

• ordering and transferring spatial data

• Fundamental spatial data sets, including

• geodetic frame

• official digital map data

• data on real properties, population, buildings and more; and

• Technological framework including

• human and technical resources

• meta data and catalogue services

• information network, data distribution, services which makes it easy for users

to search, order and collect spatial data.

Standards took in to consideration for our SDI

• International Organisation of Standardization (ISO

TC 211, TC 204, JTC-1, 19105)

• INSPIRE

• World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

• OpenGIS Consortium (OGC)

• WSI –I (Web Services Interoperability organization)

• GSDI (Global Spatial Data Infrastructure)

• National Standards of Kosovo

Why do we need standardization on organizing of

spatial data

• Standardization lets peers communicate,

• Minimizes cost of uptake of new information,

• Maximizes utility and stability of information products,

• Permits more applications to operate under known conditions!

Municipal developing plan

of municipality of Viti • Type: multi-sectorial strategic plan.

• Coverage: whole municipality area

• Period: 5 years

• Scale: 1:25000 - 1:5000

• Based on: National spatial plan

• Data: 55 layers with 308 classes

Urban developing plan of

Municipality of Viti

• Type: multi-sectorial strategic plan.

• Coverage: whole urban areas

• Period: 5 years

• Scale: 1:10000 - 1:5000

• Based on: Municipal developing plan

• Data: 15 layers with 47 classes

Urban regulatory plan of

Municipality of Viti

• Type: technical plan.

• Coverage: settlements

• Period: 5 years

• Scale: 1:1000 - 1:5000

• Based on: Urban developing plan

• Data: 12 layers with 36 classes

Data integration and harmonization process of

three spatial plans of the Municipality of Viti

Municipal developing plan (*.mdb)

Urban developing plan (*.mdb)

Urban regulatory plan (*.shp)

Used INSPIRE standards:

CONCLUSIONS 1/2

Situation before research:

• Municipality of Viti has spatial plans in three levels: Municipal

Developing Plan, Urban Developing Plan, and Urban Regulatory Plan.

• Urban Regulatory Plan and Urban Developing Plan were originally

developed in Geodatabase (*mdb) format in ArcGIS, while the

Municipal Developing Plan consisted separate layers as shape (*.shp)

files.

• Although three databases have been developed and managed by the

same municipality, different standards and platforms have been used

for their establishing.

CONCLUSIONS 2/2

Situation after performed research:

• Three databases have been restructured in order to establish the SDI

for municipality spatial planning purposes.

• The INSPIRE was used as basic platform, which was extended based

on the specific layers of three databases.

• At the end, restructured databases are fully harmonized, fully

interoperability and completely standardized by the same rules have

been established.
