Edward Mecha GEOBID Katowice, Poland CADASTRE DATA MANAGEMENT for i.a. Real estate market in Poland For last 12 years in Poland were created many exclusively Polish, cheap and effective cadastral and land administration software and technolo- gies, both for textual data and for the maps, used for stimulating real estate market.

Edward Mecha GEOBID Katowice, Poland One of it is the so called STRATEG system, a friendly integrator of Spatial Information for citizens, authorities and business. This system is designed to aid managing of a territory using i.a. the data for environment management, for cost effective deformation mapping, analysis and forecasting, to define methods and ways of making use of deformed terrain in the aspect of obtained information on deformations.

Edward Mecha GEOBID Katowice, Poland What is realy it? It is: - based on European history, tradition, and organization, - an original Polish software package in which only the operational system and norms referring to general notions follow the worldwide standards; it serves the purpose of continuous integration: - of different levels of spatial information, - as well as various types of information related to space (ownership, constructions, services, etc.).

Edward Mecha GEOBID Katowice, Poland It functions in a network, based on one main source of data and unlimited number of supporting dispersed databases, supported by i.a. Polish EWMAPA (Basic map) system :fast, cheap, flexible and precise graphic kernel connected by interfaces with unlimited number of dispersed databases: graphic and descriptive ones,in the form of objects, in continuous updating mode. It is comparable to such systems as GeoMedia, MapInfo, ArcInfo although the scope of application is different.

Edward Mecha GEOBID Katowice, Poland Descriptive part of cadastre - textual data of cadastre; full information about land and buildings; connected with graphical interpretation. The construction of the programme is fully congruent with the legal system in place, that is it enables close connection to land and mortgage register, the tax system, and statistics. Besides the register of land and buildings, it is possible also to keep a register of apartments being separate real property.

Edward Mecha GEOBID Katowice, Poland Documentation centres - programme for administration and management of maps, registers and other geodetic documents from land survey. The module shall make the management of information, understood broadly and held in the BASIC MAP programme (digital basic map, review maps, raster maps), keeping register and settlement of orders in the documentation centre, trade in printed maps, keeping register of geodetic work that the centre is notified about, managing and maintaining geodetic and cartographic documents held in the centre:- filing new documents that arrive to the resources, - defining spatial location of document content, - searching for documents applying various keys, - keeping a register of borrowing and returning documents.

Edward Mecha GEOBID Katowice, Poland Public utilities - programme together with the Basic map and interfaces (query, updating, analysing ones), forms an integrated system of register of utilities network. The programme concentrates upon two types of objects: FIXTURES AND FITTINGS (EQUIPMENT) - point-related object DUCT SECTION - line-related object. FIXTURES AND FITTINGS may consist of many elementary objects (manhole, chamber, ordinate/datum, etc.). A SECTION may be established by one vector or more, the sum of sections gives the DUCT, while the sum of ducts gives the NETWORK. Modification of databases in the descriptive part of the utilities register takes place at the level of the graphic part, thus securing the coherence of data. Interface programmes enable various analyses and descriptions of indicated points.

Edward Mecha GEOBID Katowice, Poland The Roads module consists mainly of the Specification programme and a set of interfaces which, together with the Basic map enable not only to maintain specifications and inventory of roads, in line with existing regulations, but also to perform various analyses based on a comprehensive set of attributes related to roads. The road axis is the object in Basic map, to be more exact a section of the road axis with which the attributes written down in the road specification are connected. Updating of data in the specification may take place at the Basic map level, thus providing coherence of data. The possibility of free development of symbols in Basic map, eg. symbols that stand for road signs, enables to establish the layer of ‘marking’ automatically, thus enabling the use of the module for managing municipal and district/county roads.

Edward Mecha GEOBID Katowice, Poland Social Infrastructure The Information on social infrastructure has been designed in a similar manner, in its databases the information relating to social infrastructure is stored: - various types of schools, - kindergartens, - hospitals, - health centres - outpatients clinics, etc.

Edward Mecha GEOBID Katowice, Poland Environment protection The Environmental protection module is an application which enables to connect databases established in the MS ACCESS, being related to environmental protection, with Basic map. The information held in those databases concerns: - waste, noise, - air pollution, - water pollution in lakes (rivers), - sanitary condition of air, - parks and protected areas, - bird breeding grounds, - etc.

Edward Mecha GEOBID Katowice, Poland Building surveying The Building inspection module is an application which allows to register decisions on terms of building, and building licenses. The registers of decisions are independent registers, yet it is possible to automatically move the content of fields between registers and the address database. Each item in the register is connected with a file containing the wording of the decision, written under a specific word processor Each decision may be related to an object in space in the Basic map. The interface programme displays in the graphic part of Basic map the information from registers and the decision wording, which is of crucial importance for updating the register of buildings.

Edward Mecha GEOBID Katowice, Poland Physical plan The Physical plan (spatial development plan) module connected with the Basic map programme, and interfaces enabling a complex maintenance of spatial development plans (local and detailed ones). The task of that module is to provide a plan object related to what has been defined in the plan. The query interface displays in the Basic map the information about plan decisions for an indicated object. The programme enables to produce printouts of plan decisions for specific areas, as well as specifications of land by basic and additional functions.

Edward Mecha GEOBID Katowice, Poland Address The ADDRESS module is a very important one, as this application connects addresses of real estates with point objects in the Basic map. The programme enables storing full name of the streeet, in congruence with its form in the enactment of the municipal council, in congruence also with the spelling of the Civil code system, as well as a short name. It is assumed that the update of databases will be carried out by a person responsible for attaching numbers to real properties, while it will be used by all modules, not only those functioning in the STRATEG system, but also in the census system or the financial and accounting one.

Edward Mecha GEOBID Katowice, Poland Analyses The ANALYSES module enables to perform an age analysis for people living anywhere in the town (eg. in a constituency or belonging to the same public school zone) by determining on the screen the area that is of interest for us. Spatial location of address points provides enormous possibilities of further development of various types of statistical analyses for any part of the town.

Edward Mecha GEOBID Katowice, Poland The Network bank module is designed for keeping the horizontal and height networks, which enables: - to import data from the Central Bank of Horizontal Networks - to get access to data from the area of reported work in the Documentation Centres programme - to analyse networks before a project of a network is approved.

Edward Mecha GEOBID Katowice, Poland Modules: Taxes, Agroland Protection Found, Administration, Leases, Perpetual leases enable keeping a register of charges for different fees, based on the Basic map programme. Thanks to them the real estate market in Poland was accelerated significantly. Thank you for attention !
