INSPIRE definition of AMINSPIRE definition of AM
Areas managed, regulated or used for reporting at international, European, national, regional and local levels.
Includes dumping sites, restricted areas around drinking water sources,nitrate-vulnerable zones, regulated fairways at sea or large inland waters,areas for the dumping of waste, noise restriction zones, prospecting and mining permit areas, river basin districts, relevant reporting units and coastal zone management areas.

ApproachApproach
• Scope related to diverse environmental issues:– air, water, soil/land and biotic (living) components
• Areas defined by legislation active at different levels:– international, European, national, sub-national
• Broad to cover diverse possibilities = GENERIC APPROACH
Keep consistent (individual cases vs. generic approach), simple, practical and feasible, robust!

Application schemas in AMApplication schemas in AM
The theme has been split into two application schemas:
•Area Management, Restriction and Regulation Zones
•Reporting Units
6INSPIRE Conference 2011 6
Area management / restriction / Area management / restriction / regulation zonesregulation zones
Zones - established in accordance with specific legislative requirements to deliver the environmental aims, like: •Protect and improve environmental quality, natural resources•Protect and control risk from natural and man-made hazards•Protect plant, animal and human health•Control development/spatial planning

Example – specialised zone typesExample – specialised zone types
• High level zone types should address the main domain areas• Specialised zone types are important to distinguish specific cases (types)
of such zones
10INSPIRE Conference 2011 10
Some of the requirementsSome of the requirements
• Consistency between spatial data sets:• To ensure that data can be seamlessly integrated into
applications the geometries of spatial objects coincident to a boundary (e.g. administrative boundary: state, country or management boundary: catchment area) shall be consistent
• Where the geometry of the spatial object is derived from another spatial object the geometries of the two objects shall be consistent
• Geometry representation:• The geometry shall be explicitly defined, and references
to geometries of other spatial object types are not allowed.

Reporting unitsReporting units
• Reporting units are spatial objects that provide the spatial extent for related reporting information
• Therefore, reporting units can be almost any spatial object from an INSPIRE Annex Theme
• Examples:• Administrative units• Statistical units• Bio-geographical regions• River basin districts• Air quality monitoring stations• Physical Waters (river, lake, groundwater)

Reporting authority
Reporting obligation (including
reference to legislation)
Reporting information
(identifier for any reporting
information that is linked to the
reporting unit)

Reference to legislationReference to legislation
Proposed as common type in updated GCM

Open issues in AMOpen issues in AM
• Cross-theme issue: the same legally based restriction might be used in different INSPIRE themes (LU, NZ, SO, etc)
• Interrelationships with INSPIRE themes (some examples):• PS: as conservation purpose / protection and restriction purpose in AM• HY: WFD reporting application schema (to stay in HY as specifically
defined spatial object types for the reporting under WFD)• Managed areas could be defined in almost any other theme
• Complex thematic topic could be covered by different INSPIRE themes - AM being one of them
• Initial set of zones: more input into a code list of high-level zones – this should be part of the IR
• Detailed information related to controlled activities: explicitly defined in the zones dataset or in supporting resources?
