Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography (GUGiK)

On 27 June – 1 July the first study visit of the participants of the twinning project for the Republic of Moldova: "Improving Spatial Data Services in the Republic of Moldova following EU standards" took place at the Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography(GUGiK). The project is implemented by a consortium of Croatia, the Netherlands and Poland.

The concluding session was attended by acting Surveyor General of Poland Alicja Kulka.

During the visit, GUGiK employees presented SDI basics, examples and practical solutions for network services, vector and raster data using the example of www.geoportal.gov.pl . Moldovans learned, inter alia, about the use of spatial data infrastructure in spatial development plans, methodology of data collection and verification, and the projects financed by the European Structural Funds.

According to the programme of the visit, the guests also got to know the activities of other administrative units in the field of SDI in our country, i. e. the Central Statistical Office or the Geodetic and Cartographic Documentation Municipality Centre in Krakow, where the management of the land and buildings register and the municipal spatial data system were presented.

This was the first meeting in Poland, as the project was carried out in a remote form due to the pandemic situation. The purpose of the visit was to learn about the specifics of the functioning of the spatial data infrastructure in Poland, from which Moldavians will draw inspiration to develop their infrastructure.
