The main goal

Development of a geoinformation approach for optimizing land management. Development of a methodology based on geoinformation infrastructure. Identification of factors and development of automated valuation models. Prototype of a database and validation on pilot areas. Web service for the exchange and visualization of spatial data and results.

What does the project bring? Value models based on high-resolution spatial data. Multisensor measurement: LiDAR, GNSS/RTK, 360° and photogrammetry. Prototype of an information system and validation in pilot areas. Proposal for a web service for visualization and sharing of results.

Specific objectives

  1. Development of a methodology for sustainable land management based on geospatial infrastructure and the analysis of best practices.
  2. Identification of key factors and use cases, and development of models for their automated evaluation using advanced spatial data.
  3. Development of a prototype system (database) and validation of the model in pilot areas to assess its accuracy and applicability.
  4. Defining the architecture of a web service for the exchange and visualization of spatial data in accordance with the principles of open science and interoperability.

Additional goal


The digitalization of land management processes through the development of a web service for sharing results with experts, decision-makers, scientists, and the public, along with the dissemination of results through open scientific publications and international conferences.
