Abstract
The main goal of the SIT-REM project is the design and the development of an interoperable web-GIS environment for the information retrieval and data editing/updating of the geobotanical and wildlife map of Marche Region. The vegetation, plant landscape and faunistic analysis allow the realization of a regional information system for wildlife-geobotanical data. A main characteristic of the SIT-REM is its flexibility and interoperability, in particular, its ability to be easily updated with the insertion of new types of environmental, faunal or socio-economic data and to generate analyses at any geographical (from regional to local) or quantitative level of detail. Different query levels obtain the latter: spatial queries, hybrid query builder and WMSs usable by means of a GIS. SIT-REM has been available online for more than a year and its use over this period has produced extensive data about users’ experiences.
Highlights
Introduced in the early 1970s, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) had a great influence on the geographic analysis marking a turning point in considering geography as a spatial discipline
A plant survey is done according to the phytosociological method of the Sigmatista School of Zurich-Montpellier and the subsequent changes that have promoted the evolution of phytosociological science towards the integrated analysis of the plant landscape
The database can be searched to highlight where species from one or more habitats match the input from another aspect of the SIT-REM data layer
Summary
Introduced in the early 1970s, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) had a great influence on the geographic analysis marking a turning point in considering geography as a spatial discipline. Contextual information was provided for an appropriate use of data in the descriptive databases or in the GIS datasets available at the EEA data service These databases contain information on the habitat types and species listed in the Annexes of the Habitats Directive and collected in the framework of the Article 17 reporting.
