Spatial database as a basis for multifunctional development planning of rural areas

Rural development is one of the activities under the EU's common agricul-tural policy. Multi-functional development is a putting on in the rural area non-agricultural activities. Such activities may include, e.g.: rural tourism, processing of agricultural products. In developing plans for rural development, it appears ne-cessary spatial database with data on the distribution of various types of objects and phenomena in the municipality, such as soil quality, model terrain, services and institutions, tourist attractions     ...

Spatial management of agricultural parcels in the context of direct payments

Dynamics of changes in the Polish agriculture was undoubtedly affected the most by Poland's accession to the European Union. During the first years of the membership the EU agricultural policy based mainly on supporting economic development of agricultural farms in the new member states. After the introduction of Rural Development Policy (RDP) for the years 2007-2013, greater emphasis was put on the natural environment protection, rural development but also on the measures for farm support. The amount of money allocated to this objective in-creased but simultaneously the regulations concerning the requirements a farmer must fulfil to get the payment were tightened. Yearly changeability of cropping structure and acreage causes numerous troubles for farmers who apply for direct payments but also to farms implementing modernization projects because they have to makes yearly reporting concerning cropping structure for ARMA. At present, in order to obtain regional, national or EU subventions agricul-tural holding should submit annual reports of its agricultural activity. The paper suggests the use of GIS techniques to conduct spatial registration of agricultural parcels included in the crop rotation of the farm production. The created database will facilitate an analysis of agricultural farm production providing the information necessary for reporting required ...

Address data modeling

The paper presents tasks entrusted to the geodetic service on infrastructure for spatial information in the case of the streets names and address system in digital form. Address systems, like all information systems should have a interoperability features and automated compatibility with existing systems in public administration. The paper presents the characteristics of the address systems as a spatial information and the desired structure in the digital environment. In the process of creating the database structure, the method of identification andnormalization was used with the ERD diagrams. Fully advantage of the design data in the cadastre was the primary recommendation, which increases the value of created address system. ...
