Description:

Detecting and interpreting physical changes over time is important because they can have significant impacts on society, the environment, the economy and the space around us. The Law on Spatial Planning (ZUreP-3) introduces monitoring of spatial changes to control and record spatial changes. In recent years, within the ministry responsible for spatial planning and the constituent authorities, several operational projects have been carried out to detect spatial changes that are relevant to these actors. Individually, some projects are examples of good practice, but as a coherent whole, there is room for improvement. Detecting physical change as soon as possible after it occurred is very important for the timeliness of spatial datasets and for the monitoring and control of spatial changes. Today, there are many data sources and technologies that, with their timeliness and their ability to process and analyse data sources with artificial intelligence, allow us to detect spatial change in a very short time. In accordance with the stated starting points, the project will, on the basis of an analysis of concepts, users and their needs, data sources and technologies, and a test of the selected data source and technology, provide a concept for a system for the uniform detection of physical spatial changes in Slovenia. The primary objective is to design a system that uses different data sources and technologies for spatial change detection, supports different users in the public sector and is flexible in terms of additional data sources, technologies and content requirements of users.

Work Packages:

The project will be divided into 5 work packages (WP), which will be divided into a total of 13 activities with 13 deliverables: WP 1: Review of the state-of-the-art in the detection of physical spatial changes WP 2: Research of new data sources and technologies to reduce the time for detection of physical spatial changes WP 3: Test of a selected recommended data source and technology WP 4: Conceptual modelling of a system for the unified detection of physical spatial changes WP 5: Dissemination
