Urban sprawl, land consumption & soil sealing are one of the major challenges for Europe’s environment
Land / soil is a finite and non-regenerative ressource
Pressure from building activities causes loss of ecologically valuable areas

How is land consumption developing?> 25% of the EU territory is directly affected by urban land use
> 75% of the European citizens live in urban areas Source: European Environment Agency
Every day, in Germany approx. 100 ha of soil are lost for urban developmentand transport infrastructure Source: Federal Statistical Office Germany
Strategies for soil protection and monitoring systems are neededon European and national level

GMES Spatial Planning services
Number of projects to support their development
GMES SP services development
• testing of various base mapping products (compatibility with CLC standards, MMUs)
• testing of spatial planning downstream products specification
• testing of technical & financial feasibility• testing of processing lines setup• strengthening of operational capacities
of service providers • quality qualification / validation methodology• free services provision to users for testing in their
working environment• user federation support, consolidation of user
feedback
Guidance in further Land Monitoring and Spatial Planning services development towards operational services setup
GMES delivering operational products
Already successful spin-off „operational“ activitiesFTSP sealing - successful pan-European implementation of shared processing chainsUrban Atlas Mapping – 185 cities (2009-11) – spatial component to Urban Audit
Twin Pair, 8 bands
Final map of built-upareas
Operational shared capacitiesof service providers
Shared Services production
GeoVille and Gisat are long time pioneers in these developments using innovative approaches(e.g. OBIA approach – DEFINIENS awards)
Tested shared capacities and joint productions in the frame of ESA SAGE, ESA GSELAND and recently geoland2 projects
Good experience in shared processing chainsfor operational FTSP Sealing production
Number of GMES Services implementation/testing in the Czech Republic was done on local, regional and national level
GMES Services tested/implemented in CZ

GMES Spatial Planning services address the policy needs on local, regional, national and EU level
SP services proved to be a key input for Urban development and sub-urbanisation monitoring delivering novel spatial insight into the urban processes
Number of successful implementation of SP services has been done in Czech Republic
Conclusions / Outlook
Cooperation of GISAT and GeoVille presents a good example how services can be chained as well as production capacities shared in future(recently proved by joint data service support project awarded by EEA)
New joint production takes place within geoland2 project further developing and delivering SP services for Dresden-Linz transect
Regular and systematic update based on sustainable funding is essential for operational uptake of SP services in planning activities
Conclusions / Outlook
Thank you very much Thank you very much for your attention!for your attention!
