Database for monitoring the spatial management plans of the Polish marine areas. Updating and practical use of data

Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Morskiego - Year 2018, Vol 33, Issue 1

Abstract

Planning and marine spatial development are based on an exceptionally wide range of knowledge and information which are used in the process of creating plans and their later evaluation. The first type is spatial data describing the present state of the natural and anthropogenic environment within a widely understood spectrum. Second type data are statistical information describing spatial occurrence in the environment. Geoinformation within a planning process is hugely important, as the quality of spatial data influences decisions made and final results of planning work. Undoubtedly, efficient spatial database management and creating a compatible system to operate it are the key elements of effective work in a planning process. In Europe, the monitoring process together with creation of tools supporting database management is highly developed. There is a range of examples for the use of the spatial information systems in work linked to preparation and evaluation of spatial management plans at sea. Due to the specifics of works related to spatial planning in Poland, this paper presents a new solution for the future monitoring of the generated plans. The nature of this paper is determined by the local approach to taking advantage of the ArcGis software related with the use of a range of tools in the monitoring approach to plans of spatial management of the Polish marine areas. The purpose is to demonstrate a selected tool which is supposed to improve the planners’ work, from the point of view of the use of statistical data linked to the dynamics of changes in the coastal area. This is an exemplary use of the tool which might be modified at will, according to the needs of a user. Due to such a solution, the tool can be adjusted to the most of required data based on statistical tables.<br/><br/>
