Institutional setting
- Since February 2, 2012 SGA has a new director, Mr. Danko Markovinović, PhD.
- Ministry of Environment Protection, Physical Planning and Construction has been split into Ministry of Environment and Nature Protection and Ministry of Construction and Physical Planning. Ministry responsible for SGA is Ministry of Construction and Physical Planning.
- After the 2011 election and organisational changes in the state bodies, NSDI Council and Committee are going to be reorganized (expected in Q1, 2012).
Land administration
New Act on Proceeding with Illegally Built Buildings has been passed in 2011. It stipulates using orthophoto maps and other SGA datasets such as cadastral maps and registers for proving that an object was already built at the zero moment defined by the Act. Orthophoto maps made by the aerial shooting material acquired mid 2011 are accessible at SGA Geoportal.
Spatial data infrastructure (SDI)
Legislation A draft of the new law on SDI in Croatia will be prepared in 2012 and adopted till July 1, 2013. The new law will be full transposition of the INSPIRE directive.
In January 2012 specification for NSDI metadata (Croatian metadata profile) was adopted, which means that all legal and technical documents are now available for establishing of metadata catalogue.
Implementing rules for network services fully compliant with the INSPIRE IR should be adopted till March 31, 2012 in order to prepare NSDI subjects to connect their data and services to NSDI geoportal till July 1, 2013.
Agreement on data access, exchange and use among NSDI subjects was in public hearing in 2011. Working group (WG) Data Sharing should analyse received comments till June 2012, and the agreement should be adopted till end 2012.
Awareness raising In order to inform the overall geo-information community about the NSDI concept and introduce the preparations for the work of the Council and other NSDI bodies, the SGA has organized the consultancies and brought in experts from the countries where the NSDI development had been most successful. The following four experience-sharing workshops were organized in Zagreb: Sweden (2007), Canada (2007), Germany (2007), Norway (2009).
In cooperation with the Croatian Cartographic Society, the State Geodetic Administration organized, back-to back with the cartographic conferences:
- 1st Croatian NSDI and INSPIRE day, November 26, 2009 in Varaždin,
- 2nd Croatian NSDI and INSPIRE day, November 25, 2010 in Opatija,
- 3rd Croatian NSDI and INSPIRE day, September 14, 2011 in Split.
About 200 experts from various administrative structures (State, regional, local), commercial sector (public, geodetic, geo-information, IT) and education (college and university), as well as from abroad, who are interlinked in performing their activities involving spatial data and therefore have interest in the NSDI concept, exchanged information and experiences about the latest INSPIRE development as well as Croatian achievements in the NSDI field.
In May 2008, the State Geodetic Administration issued a publication on the National Spatial Data Infrastructure in the Republic of Croatia that was printed in Croatian with the circulation of 1,000 copies.
Since September 2011, information about NSDI in Croatia has been available on www.nipp.hr (also in English).
Technical aspects The SGA Geoportal has been in use since May 2009. There are several geoportals in Croatia under responsibility of other NSDI subjects, but there isn’t a common access point for spatial data (see NSDI web page – www.nipp.hr).
According to the above-mentioned Law on State Survey and Real Estate Cadastre, the SGA is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the metadata public service on the Internet (using a geo-portal), in a way that enables NSDI subjects to interactively maintain NSDI data. NSDI subjects are responsible for the regular maintenance of the data with regards to their spatial data sets and services. At the request of the SGA, they are obliged to make available the spatial data information under their jurisdiction or authority. It is planned to establish NSDI geoportal till July 2013.

Expectations of the Beneficiary
Results of the projects concerning SDI legislation would be much more useful for Croatia if they happened a few years ago. Croatia is obliged to adopt the new NSDI law before end of the project. By the end of 2012 SGA has to finalise draft of the new SDI law in order to be adopted in 2013. It would be useful to have results of the project connected to legislation in 3rd Quarter of 2012.
