Along with the Member States' transposition process of the INSPIRE Directive, thanls to recent developments in geo-qpatial inforrnation communication technology, Public Adminisfations (PA) at all levels in Europe started the process of integration of their spatial data and services according to agreed conrmon standards. So far, the regional level has shown the most active growth in Spatial Data Infrashucture (SDI), aiming to develop suppoÉing platforms for achieving bettet decision-making and service delivery towards sustainability of development Existing regional SDIs have shown they foster the re-use of PA geoinfonnation resources in the public and the private sectors, allowing the diffirsion of added-value services for a growing number of users. SDI development as demonsfiated by innovative experiences in the public sector, drives to improvements in both the efficienry and the efticacy of administrative processes thanks to the implementation of new organisation models, whilst offering more reliable services to citizens. Spatial governance and planning, environmental impact assessment and soil protection are only few examples of processes which can be improved thank to the online availability ofshared spatial data and services through geoportals. So far, the advantages are particularly evident at the relional and local levels of govemment. While actual and potential benefits are acknowledged in many best practice examples, still appear less staightforward to determine a qualitati-ve and quantitative assessment of the social and economic impacts of the initiatives. The Lombardy SDI in Italy represents an advanced example in Europe, constituting an interesting case study to further develop the SDI impact assessment methodology. To this end this paper presetrts early results of the ongoing impact assessment study commissioned by Regione Lombardia to the JRC. This study has been carried on with the aim to develop a framework for social and economic benefit assessment of SDIs with special reference to spatial government proce$$es,

Since 2006, the Region of Sardinia (Italy) has been developing a Geographic Information System and the related Spatial Data Infrastructure, known as Sistema Informativo Territoriale Regionale - Infrastruttura dei Dati Territorial (SITR-IDT). The aim of SITR-IDT is to create and manage the government official spatial database and the related technologic infrastructure, services and application necessary for data access. This is according to the principles of geographic data sharing and accessibility, expressed by the INSPIRE Directive (2007/2/EC); for this purpose, metadata play a fundamental role. SITR-IDT has developed and made available on the web several web services for data access, as expressed by the INSPIRE Directive; metadata have also been organised according to the INSPIRE Directive and to the national legislation, giving place to the regional catalogue for spatial data. The next steps will consist in consolidating the existing infrastructure, with particular regard to the...

Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications

Public access to environmental information is granted by international law. The European Community has established an Infrastructure for Spatial Information (INSPIRE) in order to provide data and information to effected environmental policies. ISPRA coordinates the Italian Environmental Information and Monitoring System (SINA) and represents the national Inspire coordination structure. Moreover, ISPRA disseminates environmental information through reports, on-line services, and WebGis. Recently, a new WebGis has been developed to provide public access to environmental indicators data contained in the annual report on urban environment quality. Soil, water and air quality, waste, industrial risk, transport and mobility, acoustic and electromagnetic pollution, nature and biodiversity, tourism, and energy were analysed in 34 urban areas. The WebGis provides simple and powerful tools to analyze environmental dynamics of urban areas promoting participatory planning. It was designed to ea...

Shared Service Center (SSC) is an initiative of the Province of Brescia supporting local governments in developing change management projects based on introduction of ICT solutions and on-line services. SSC dedicates human, financial and instrumental resources to develop eGovernment in small municipalities, enable common on-line services for citizens & companies in widespread territory and re-use tested experiences and solutions. This is a pilot initiative in Italy supported by Lombardia Region and Innovation Ministry (CNIPA). SSC offers associated agencies geographic datawarehouse services based on Web technology integrating information from many data providers at different levels: cadastral, from central government; environmental and emergency management, from region; general planning and transportation, from province; local planning, geo-coding and cartography from municipalities. SSC solves data conversion problems connected with information coming from a wide variety of provide...

The Regional Topographic Geodatabase (DBTR) was officially defined in 2005 as the multi-scale (1:1,000 -1:2,000 -1:5,000 -1:10,000) cartographic reference for urban and regional planning in Lombardy Region. The DBTR had been previously introduced at national level to take over traditional numerical topographic maps adopted for urban planning, with the aim to provide a base map to be implemented either at regional level (Regional Geoportal) and by local administrations. The DBTR is structured by following some national guidelines that define either the content and the topological structure, that makes simple its implementation in GIS environment. The construction of the entire DBTR has historically gone through different phases, with the consistent support of the regional subsidiary policy. But when the effects of the world economic crisis in 2008 became tangible in the budget of public administrations, the growth of the project faced an important break. In 2017 the administration of Lombardy Region has promoted and financed a new project finalized to the completion of the DBTR. A temporary association of mapping companies won the tender and completed the project by summer 2020, despite of the difficulties related to the COVID-19 pandemic. A team led by Politecnico di Milano was appointed for the quality assessment. The proposed paper would like to present this project and the operational solutions applied for the production of the new subsections of the DBTR, as well as its quality assessment/validation.
