Krajobraz jako nośnik danych przestrzennych : próba zastosowania dyrektywy INSPIRE do zapisów polityki krajobrazowej Polski

Abstract

The aim of the article is to discuss the rules of modern landscape Policy as a subsystem of the spatial policy of Poland and the European Union. Informatization of space through use of GIS tools has become an undoubted fact. Records of phenomena and processes occurring in the landscape, translated to a formalized mathematical-technological language, raise fears regarding completeness and coherence of landscape contents and processes in database model. The article presents rules for construction and modelling of landscape data with reference to the INSPIRE Directive. The authors have taken up an attempt to identify methods of recording for spatial elements considered in the methodology of landscape analysis and evaluation. To achieve this, they used provisions of changing Polish legal acts and technical standards resulting from implementation of the European Union’s directives. The authors made an attempt to record chosen landscape elements using the UML notation, which showed a wide theme range of issues to be discussed and possible ways to interpret them.
