PROJECT OBJECTIVES
To develop a regional SDI which:
-
supports interregional cooperation
promotes regional development and knowledge on SDI
presents attractiveness of the local territory
promotes integration of local regions into European society
Develop SDI thematics
-
provide comprehensive information about the particular regions of Latvia to find out
what does the region think about itself, what feelings and atmosphere is present
provide key indicators which characterises level of development and potential of the
territory
Easy to find and use of geographical information
-
regional data and metadata
-
other interesting WMS services and data from interesting territorries
Exchange good practices

RESULTS OF THE PROJECT
•
Developed GIS portal (www.grisi.lv) for the interested parties to clearly and
efficiently understand the regional interest and evaluate its potential to
choose a coopereation partner
•
Access to spatial data of regions of Latvia, search, publish, and use other
comprehensive portal functions
•
Realised student exchange (Riga Technical University and IUT Paul
Sabatier )
•
In cooperation of the universities developed website to disseminate the
economic information of the department of Gers (http://ids.gers.cci.fr)
•
Exchange of good practices and REGIS evaluation by Abruzzo Region
SPECIFIC RESULTS
•
Developed and adapted special and intuitive user interface which provides interested
users with possibility to search, view, download, etc.available spatial data, metadata
and services
•
Spatial data in scale 1:400 000 are downloadable for any interested party
•
Users can publish and exchange spatial information
•
REGIS SDI translated in Latvian (available in both English and Latvian)
•
Project data and technical specifications are developed to share the best practice
example
•
Within REGIS 16 new WMS were created
- Basic data layers, scale 1:200 000
- Statistical information
- Qualitative information
•
Developed continuous relationships with IUT Paul Sabatier
•
Best practice examples developed by Abruzzo Region
EXAMPLE –
territory development index and
other statistical data
EXAMPLE –
employment in municipality and its
organisations (schools, kindergartens, health care,
social care, culture, utilities, other)
Number of
employees is:
adequate
too high
too small
EXAMPLE –
employment in municipality and its
organisations (schools, kindergartens, health care,
social care, culture, utilities, other)
Saldo values by
district
EXAMPLE –
municipalities reform (is it
necessary to unite the municipalities)
Yes
No
Other
EXAMPLE –
municipalities reform (is there a
need for regional municipalities)
Yes, direct
Yes, under
No
Other
EXAMPLE –
gender equality evaluation from the
perspective of women municipality executives (do
they consider themselves as leaders)

No
Partly
Integrated WMS
developed by Latvian
partners under GEPOP and GRISI 4 SOHO
Bauska District
Council – WMS
representing territory
planning
Integrated WMS
developed by Latvian
partners under GEPOP and GRISI 4 SOHO
Daugavpils
University – WMS
representing tourism
objects in all region
Added value and the road ahead
•
Development of awareness and knowledge on SDI in regions – good reference of
the SDI prototype in Latvia
•
Best practice of REGIS development is shared with Latvian State institutions
responsible for SDI developments where it is planned that project partners will
cooperate in order to initiate SDI development projects in Latvia
•
Latvian Statistical Institute will adapt the practice and methodology of statistical and
qualitative research data visualisation and dissemination throug the REGIS SDI
•
It is planned that Bauska and Daugavpils regions will continue to cooperate with
REGIS partners to realise spatial data publication and updating already in 2008
•
Agreement with Riga Technical University to maintain the REGIS SDI for the next 2
years
•
Agreement on further student exchange from IUT Paul Sabatier for a work
placement period in 2008 to Latvia
