Environmental Information System

What it is good for? – What are our expectations?

An Environmental Information System should

help to formulate environmental policygive background for legislationhelp to enforce legal acts and ordersensure public acces to the informationhelp to fullfill internatioanal reporting obligation



SDI and Data policy


Data and information on environment by

measurement- monitoring (sampling, on-line)statistical data collectionofficial control (measurement, compliance, penalty)self reportremote sensing



SDI and Data policy


Most of the data/information about the environment can be connected to a geographical site.

CONCLUSION : The basis of an Environmental Information system should be a Geographycal Information System (GIS)
