Abstract
The article describes changes in the usage of spatial information taking place in the field of environmental engineering and protection over the last 20 years when the analogue maps have been phased out in favour of digital maps. The importance of EU INSPIRE Directive for the popularization of the services for sharing spatial data in order to adopt an environmental policy implemented under the “environmental” EU Directive is discussed. The article describes the main ways of using spatial information in environmental engineering and protection. Then it discusses the problem of the openness of public administration data in the context of the “Open Data” EU Directive. Based on the four criteria defined by the author, the accessibility of data sets for all 21 subjects of 3rd Annex to the INSPIRE Directive in Poland has been analyzed. The key evaluation parameter has been the accessibility of data downloadable without the requirement to log in to the system of the service provider. The summary presents the research results, and the conclusions contain the proposed methods of solving them.
