PHARE Twinning SK03/IB/EN/01: „Institutional and Capacity Building
Increasing of responsibilities of control institutions, policy makers and decision makers in environmental sector
To develope information system that will support decision making in the environmental sector – effective tool for sharing of environmental data and support daily work of decision makers
To support enforcement capacity in the environmental sector
The main reason – fact that such system doesn’t exist
Activity C Establishing a shared environmental IS
Objectives:
to improve data flows between institutions by means of an inter-institutional shared environmental information system (SEIS) – decision makers will have access to reliable environmental information
To share different types of data: text, numeral, geographical
To cover information needs of the users in four main sectors: water
airwastenature
Procurement of necessary IT equipment, trainings
Activity C Establishing a shared environmental IS
Administrator, users, data providers:
Activity C Establishing a shared environmental IS
Sectoral meetings – specification of data needs ofthe main user - SEI for each sector:
Activity C Establishing a shared environmental IS
Basic requirements for SEIS development: Development of the SEIS was planned at SEA in the
framework of concept of the IS building in MoE resort. IS was created in the way that basic technical (hardware,
software, network) and personnel capacities were shared. In the process of creation of the system, already existing
databases built by individual data providers as well as existing applications were used.
The possibility of mutual interconnection was ensured and the use of functionalities of existing IS built in the MoE and especially IS built at SEA, SHMI, SNC and SEI.
IS was built through technologies and procedures that are used in the process of IS creation at SEA and are in compliance with hardware and software architecture of SEA.
Activity C Establishing a shared environmental IS
GIS Modul:
A significant part of SEIS is the GIS section, i.e. access for users to geographical data. SEIS users have access to geographical data via Client Central Geographical System (CGS), built in co-operation of several institutions within the Ministry of Environment. Prístup k priestorovým dátam cez Centrálny geografický sklad (CGS)
Optimal use of accessible spatial data SEIS clients enter (within SEIS) into CGS via 3 client
applications: 1. in www environment via internet browser
(recommended IE 5.5+ requires support of Java scripts)
2. via free Java client Arc Explorer (20 MB) 3. Desktop ArcGIS applications.
4 desktop ArcGIS applications were procured for SEI employees via public procurement for this purpose.
Activity C Establishing a shared environmental IS
Trainings:A series of two user trainings has been realised regardingSEIS:
Activity C Establishing a shared environmental IS
SEIS operation:
SEIS will be operated on SEA servers
Administartion of technical part – administartor SEA
Administartion of the content – SEI administartors : 4 persons for each sector: air, water, waste and nature – trained as administrators
Technical documentation for SEIS application containing user and administrator manual for using SEIS available
Activity C Establishing a shared environmental IS
Results of activity C:
access to reliable environmental information
institutions connected to SEIS; appropriate training for staff
IT equipment procured
