Methodology for registering a special legal regime for a protected areas
Project title: Consultant services for development of methodology and work plan for registration of special legal regime for the protected area as well as implementation of geodetic-cadastral activities for the purpose of registration of borders of Nature Park Papuk
Client: Ministry of Environmental and Nature Protection
Investor: The World Bank, within the EU Integration Project Natura 2000
Project description: The main goal of the project was to determine the methodology for registration of a special legal regime of protected areas, and the practical result of the project was to adapt (interpretation) of the boundary of the Nature park Papuk, as defined by the Act on the Proclamation of the Nature Park Papuk (NN 45/99), to the actual state of the cadastral parcels shown in the digital cadastral maps. The so-interpreted boundary served to determine (select) the parcels in which special legal regime was recorded in the cadastral registry.
In the first stage of the project, all required information was obtained, both by the Client and by the State Geodetic Administration. By overlapping the boundary with other spatial data, significant borderline simplicity was observed, which poorly followed the terrain configuration as well as the topographic objects and the existing vegetation cover (forests) while at the same time did not follow the existing property-legal relations (cadastral parcels).
In the second phase of the project, Geoprojekt consultants, along with the partner company GeoFocus, proposed the interpreted boundaries of the park, publicly exposed it in cooperation with the contracting authority, after which the final border of the nature park was determined. Necessary elaborations, plans, lists and reports were prepared to enable the Client to complete the statutory procedure for registering a special legal regime in a Cadastre registry.
All data was prepared and delivered in GIS format.
Project size: The area of PP Papuk extends through 29 cadastral municipalities (17 km in PUK Požega and 12 km in PUK Virovitica). In the total area of the park, 34,500 ha and 95,96 km of perimeter, there are about 8900 cadastral parcels. Approximately 1,600 particles have been intersected by the nature park boundary.
