Land Information Service for use in agriculture and rural development


Notice:
  1. NPAA VIII/A/x, 1999 are already approved projects, while the NPAA VIII/A/x 2000 project proposals are to be approved within the yearly updated EU harmonisation framework program financed by state budget dedicated for the implementation of the National Program for the Adoption of Acquis Communautaire.
  2. All these activities and the co-ordination at MARD level will be supported by the French-Germany CAP Twinning expertise and by the IACS-tailored Long term Technical Assistance project of the Phare 1998.
Main tasks planned to be performed:
  • Implementation of the agricultural parcel based information system (phases PARCELLA /C-F) as needed by the Integrated Administration and Control System
PARCELLA /C
Software customisation, which can provide the appropriate new LON services for supporting IACS. Developing a Land Information System on the META* platform in the level of County Land Offices, which will register, manage and query the following objects:
  • Farmers who uses the land during a certain season
  • Agriculture parcels, which are subjects of the subsidy
  • Plots coded by the OECD/EUROSTAT nomenclature
  • registration of land use
  • reporting about land use
  • checking the contracted land use of subsidy
PARCELLA /D
Compilation of an integrated data set from different sources. The data-set will be managed at County Land Offices by an IT system resulted from PARCELLA/C. Matching to the requirements the following information is needed:
  • Legal titles from the Land Registration
  • Land use and user information from the Land Registration
  • 1:10 000 scale digital orthophoto and digital terrain model database with IACS-related functionality
  • Digital thematic information provided by the remote sensing based control subsystem
  • Cadastral maps in digital form
  • Scanned data from existing topographic maps
PARCELLA /E
Upgrading of TAKARNET* and ensure full TAKAROS/META/PARCELLA interoperability as required by the operational mode of IACS. The technological chain of the remote sensing based control and have to be set up ready for operation.

PARCELLA /F
Improving the quality of the project. Evaluating the achievements by independent experts and getting recommendations. Set up of the CENT (establishment of the CENTral Land Information Service Facility)

This centrally located infrastructure is the platform running the PARCELLA. Within the LON, it will receive, handle, archive, compile, visualisate and submit information and provide service as required by the IACS operation within the IACS institutional framework. Fully controlled interoperability will be ensured with META via the TAKAROS intranet and FOMI Remote Sensing Center's CROPMON computer cluster via high speed cable. For data transmission within the IACS institutional framework (including AIC, RegionalAgro Offices, MARD) the enhanced TAKAROS will be used. (Dedicated links e.g. with Territorial Information System (TeIR) of MARD's Regional Development branch and the Central Statistical Office with emphasis on the 2000 Agricultural Census data are also foreseen). Major Components: CENT (central hw/sw infrastructure), DITAB (establishment of the change management of the digitized topographic sheets at 1:10 000 (2001), PILOT (test of the change management in semi-operational environment) TRAIN (multilevel vocational training of the LON staff), LTTA (dedicated long term technical assistance will provide additional expertise, know-how, mobility and technology transfer). The RSCS is highlighted in separately

RSCS/CABS (establishment of the Control of Area-based Subsidies using remote sensing)
The remote sensing segment of the parcel based information system is a dedicated, fully protected subsystem to be developed according to the IACS requirements. High and very-high resolution satellite data will be used as a basic tool for the subsidy control on croplands (as cost effective spin-off effect, providing capabilities for multipurpose application in other NPAA related tasks as monitoring of land use with emphasis on the historical wine growing areas, as well as imagery basis and/or value added products for land evaluation and land consolidation improving the sustainability of the agricultural development in the integrated rural development framework). RSCS provided data, products and information will be handled as classified as required by the PARCELLA operating in the CENT environment.

RSCS will be performed by FÖMI Remote Sensing Centre where the necessary processing infrastructure, expertise and know-how are available from the crop monitoring project (CROPMON), working operational since 1997.
