Directive 2007/2/EC (INSPIRE) entered into force in 2007 with the goal to establish a European Union (EU) Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) to support EU's environmental policies. The Directive was complemented by a complex legal framework detailing requirements on data provision, which was in turn accompanied by technical guidelines and the establishment of a governance structure involving Member States in the maintenance and evolution of the Directive. After more than 10 years since its inception and at the end of its legally defined roadmap leading to the evaluation by 1 January 2022, INSPIRE has entered a new milestone as the European Commission's recent focus on the green and digital transformation holds the potential to make it a key tool for the successful (environmental) data sharing in Europe. The objective of this report is twofold. First, we summarise the main developments of the pan-European INSPIRE SDI happened so far from the technical and organisational perspectives, describing the current implementation state of play through multiple dimensions: data availability, governance approaches, available technological stack, influence and role of standardisation bodies and community development. This precedes a critical assessment of what has, and has not, worked well in the development of the infrastructure. Building on such lessons learnt, in the second part of the report we offer a vision for the future evolution of the INSPIRE SDI with a five to ten year horizon in mind. This ambitious vision takes into consideration the current EU policy context as well as the disruptive technological trends bringing new data sources, actors, standards and architectures as new players in the (geospatial) data sharing field. The vision is structured around a set of legal, organisational and technological actions, which are largely extensible to any policy-driven SDI. This makes the lessons learned from INSPIRE also applicable to the broader field of data initiatives. The key conclusion of this report, embedded in the vision, is that in order to remain fit for purpose it is desirable that traditional SDIs evolve from complex and highly specialised frameworks to more sustainable, flexible and agile data ecosystems, lowering the entry level to non-specialists and welcoming an increased participation from less traditional stakeholders (e.g. open source software communities, standardisation bodies and early adopters) in addition to data providers and users. Concretely, at the European level this highlights the need to simplify and modernise the INSPIRE technological framework and to establish a distributed governance structure at multiple levels. It would be hard to imagine a more effective way for INSPIRE to blend within the common European data space envisioned by the recent European Strategy for Data, allowing a seamless and user-centric data exploitation to address an increasing range of societal needs.

This highly technical work is at the leading edge of spatial analysis. It covers the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) initiative in the international context of access to environmental data. This book identifies the data policy issues, such as intellectual property rights, privacy, licensing and archiving policies, that affect environmental monitoring organisations, statistical institutes, mapping agencies, institutes for natural resources and Earth observation. It recommends courses of action to improve information services in GMES and assesses the impact of data policy on access to and cost-efficient use of information services in GMES. This title will be essential reading for government institutions such as mapping organisations, space agencies, environmental departments, military and defence departments; it will also be useful to students of environmental policies and industries involved in mapping, cartography, aerial surveys and the space industry.

The INSPIRE Directive, which aims to establish a pan-European Spatial Data Infrastructure for the purposes of EU environmental policies, requires Member States to monitor and report on the implementation status on an annual basis. The way the INSPIRE monitoring and reporting process was performed in 2019 was driven by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1372, which introduced the automated calculation of 19 new indicators through the direct use of the INSPIRE Geoportal and the INSPIRE Reference Validator to process the metadata harvested from Member States discovery services. These indicators are grouped into 5 categories: availability of spatial data and services, conformity of metadata, conformity of spatial data sets, accessibility of spatial data sets through view and download services, and conformity of network services. Most indicators are calculated as a percentage, thus providing a direct measure of performance and allowing also country-by-country comparisons. For each indicator, this report provides a detailed description of the calculation method, the values achieved for all Member States and some summary statistics to capture the overall performance trends. The results show that the status of INSPIRE implementation is very heterogeneous across the EU, with some countries performing well and some others still lagging behind. However, after 13 years from the entry into force of the Directive, there is no single country which has yet achieved full implementation according to the roadmap. The accessibility of data sets through view or download services is on average only about 30%, while the conformity of metadata, data sets and network services varies between 30% and 45% on average. In addition to providing an objective snapshot of the current status of INSPIRE implementation, the results of 2019 monitoring and reporting represent a reliable baseline to monitor the evolution of the EU Spatial Data Infrastructure and its contribution to the European Green Deal data space in the years to come.

Land use change is driven by a variety of forces, including spatial policies formulated at supra-national, national, regional and local levels. The main focus of this book is to contextualise, explain and illustrate a new methodology for simulating land use change in different parts of Europe. It considers some of the more important causal factors and identifies state-of-the-art approaches to modelling human and environmental systems, and for evaluating and visualising altenative scenarios. The last part of the volume presents material from two case studies, one from The Netherlands and one from Portugal, of the implementation of a new simulation model called EuroScanner. Audience: This work will be of interest to researchers and practioners whose work involves geography, simulation and modelling, environmental planning, spatial decision making, the methodology of social sciences, and economics.

This report presents the findings of an online survey on the use of spatial data to produce environmental reports conducted by the European Commission Joint Research Centre in 2009. The objectives of the survey were twofold: on the one hand, to understand how easy it is for practitioners to obtain the spatial data they need to carry out Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and/or Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEAs) and on the other hand, to provide information to the European Commission (EC) on the developments made in the use of spatial data to undertake EIAs and SEAs. The 2009 survey represents, in fact, an update of a similar survey conducted in 2002 by DG Environment and provides where relevant a comparison of results. A significant increase in the number of respondents was registered since the original survey, however it should be noted that the sample do not represent all practitioners that carry out EIA/SEA reports in Europe. Nevertheless, the results give an indication of the trends and problems in the market of EIA and/or SEA. The main outcome of the survey is that practitioners still face problems in using spatial data for the preparation of environmental reports. Issues mainly relate to finding and accessing data of the quality needed for the purpose. As a consequence, there is an increase in cost and time to produce environmental reports. The estimate of such additional burden is quantified as well as potential savings that could be achieved if problems connected with the use of spatial data were removed.

This study investigates how different user communities in Europe are accessing and using spatial data, the problems they are facing and how they see the impact of various policy initiatives on improving the accessibility and usability of data. The study looks at the past, present, and future of accessing and using spatial data in Europe from a user-centric perspective by collecting information on different user groups' experiences, views, and opinions. The study is based on a survey of spatial data users and practitioners in the spatial data community in Europe. This survey was primarily targeted at persons and organisations using spatial data for environmental purposes and particularly at practitioners involved in preparing Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) reports. However, also other stakeholders in the geospatial domain participated in the survey. The results and findings of the survey enhance our understanding of how Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) and INSPIRE, in particular, should evolve towards data ecosystems and contribute to establishing data spaces. The study shows that while past and ongoing European policy initiatives clearly contributed to improving the accessibility, usability, and sharing of spatial data in Europe, certain barriers and problems remain and hinder the access and use of spatial data. The establishment of data spaces should ensure that particular user communities have access to all the data needed to support their core processes.
