Geoinformation network for the purpose of the nature protection

Abstract

A recent global advance in moving from paper to digital data has created undreamed opportunities of access to data, communication of information and for informed decision-making at all levels of society. This so called open access to information presents new challenges for those acquiring, handling storage and providing access to electronic data and information. Different organizations collect massive amounts of information related to the environment, particularly at regional and local level. However, the data are often of poor quality, inconsistent standards, stored in noninteroperable information systems and not accessible to the public. These obstacles prevent from dealing efficiently with the complex and interconnected issues which are occurring during management process of protected areas and the nature conservation. In this paper it will be presented one of solutions for these obstacles in the sense of geoinformation network for the nature protection which bringing together the different stakeholders in the process of protected areas management.

Savremeni globalni napredak u smislu prelaska sa analognih na digitalne podatke stvorio je do sada nezamislive mogućnosti pristupa podacima, razmene informacija i na taj način i efikasnije donošenje odluka na svim nivoima društva. Ovakav otvoreni pristup informacijama stvara nove izazove za one koji se bave prikupljanjem, obradom, čuvanjem i zaštitom pristupa elektronskim podacima i informacijama. Različite organizacije prikupljaju neograničene količine podataka o životnoj sredini, posebno na regionalnom i lokalnom nivou. Međutim, ti podaci su često slabog kvaliteta, nisu odgovarajućih standarda, sačuvani su u nekompatibilnim informacionim sistemima i nisu dostupni široj javnosti. Ovi problemi otežavaju efikasno rešavanje složenih i međusobno povezanih pitanja koja se javljaju u procesu upravljanja zaštitom prirode i zaštićenim prirodnim dobrima. U ovom radu biće prikazano jedno od rešenja ovih problema u vidu geoinformacione mreže za zaštitu prirode koja okuplja sve zainteresovane strane u procesu upravljanja zaštićenim prirodnim dobrima.
