7. Describe temporary processes for continued work with
manual cadastre information.
8. Describe a temporary solution for storage and retrieval
of vectorised cadastre maps.
9. Develop an exchange format for cadastre data.
10. Design, develop and implement a database solution in
SGA for storage and retrieval of vectorised cadastre
maps.
11. Undertake upload and retrieval of digital cadastre data.
3.6 Support to the consultancy work
For the project ProCaptura needs access to management
resources in SGA. In addition they also need assistance from
other resources for database configuration under the Oracle and
Intergraph GeoMedia environment. Contract is signed between
ProCaptura and Project Management and Mapping, PMM, as
sub supplier. The consultancy will be undertaken in
cooperation with PMM's Croatian partner company, Geofoto.
The digital cadastre project as explained above, will be
undertaken in 2 phases, the implementation phase and the
monitoring phase.
3.6.1 Implementation phase: This phase was planned to last
from January to September 2003 and consists of the following
main tasks:
1. Fact finding, prepare objectives and scopes.
2. Develop product descriptions for digital cadastre
information.
3. Prepare process descriptions and describe standard
work procedures for vectorisation of cadastre maps.
4. Develop bid documents and draft contract for
vectorisation of cadastre maps.
5. Develop quality assurance system.
6. Develop reporting system for the vectorisation work.
7. Describe temporary process for continued work with
manual cadastre information.
8. Describe a temporary solution for storage and retrieval.
9. Develop an exchange format for transfer of cadastre
data.
10. Design, develop and implement a database solution in
SGA for storage and retrieval.
11. Undertake upload and retrieval of digital cadastre data.
This is in accordance with the offer in 3.5.
3.6.2 Monitoring phase: This phase is planned to last at least
2 years or more, starting January 2003. The main idea of the
monitoring phase is to continue to improve the efficiency of the
production line. PMM will also support ProCaptura in their
process of further development and improvement of the
vectorisation software. This should be carefully linked to the
recently started World Bank and European Union supported
Real Property Registration and Cadastre project, which will
also have to solve the problem of transformation of the
enormous amount of cadastre data not present in a “real”
coordinate system.
4. DISCUSSION
4.1 Cooperation
A crucial issue at the beginning of the project was to establish
efficient ways of cooperation to satisfy both parties, Croatian as
a recipient and Norwegian as a donor side. To achieve this both
sides have invested lot of time and efforts in the preparatory
phase for both CRONO GIP I and CRONO GIP II. The
intention is to transfer the needs of the Croatian side into well
defined and specified project documents understandable not
only to the Norwegian side but also to any technically skilled
observer. Furthermore clear and well measurable goals have
been set for each component of the projects, as well as personal
responsibilities have been assigned to involved persons. The
approach enabled both sides to monitor progress of the project
in all its stages and intervene in any appropriate moment.
4.2. Participation
Experts from Statens kartverk and Norwegian companies
brought into the project high level of professionalism and
responsibility showing also high devotement in the execution.
It is not rare case in such technical cooperation projects that
recipient side has certain problems. Reasons for this may
differ, but very often they relay on the fact that at the beginning
of the cooperation frank and open relations between the parties
have not been established, goals of cooperation have not been
well specified, people involved in project changed, or the
projects are not well incorporated into the regular activities of
the recipient. It has been observed that the consultants and the
recipient parties from time to time have had different opinions
about the responsibilities of the consultant versus the
responsibilities of the client. The consultants should of course
deliver value for money, but at the same time the client must
take active part in the work ensuring that the results are adopted
as the "property" of the client. On the job training and learning
from an active participation in all steps of the projects is of
course also an issue.
To improve cooperation the State Geodetic Administration and
Croatian Geodetic Institute have introduced a couple of basic
principles for their international, as well as for any domestic
cooperation. Those principles are:
- any cooperation has to be integral part of the regular
activities of those two institutions defined in the
Program of state survey and real-estate cadastre
(Croatian State Parliament, 2001),
- any cooperation has to be financially supported by all
parties involved and
- all decisions made in frame of some cooperation have
to be made in agreement of all parties regardless to
financial input of each of them.
Application of those principles on the Norwegian-Croatian
project from Croatian side, as well as on all other projects,
ensured active Croatian participation and devotement. For
example Croatian financial participation in both projects
exceeds 40% of the total costs.
4.3. Organisational issues
During the execution of the project several organisational issues
had to be solved due to underestimated workload or to other
problems which appeared.
4.3.1 Staff: It has appeared a couple of times during execution
of the project that the State Geodetic Administration has had to
improve the organisation of the work on it’s side. One of the
reasons for this was also the fact that the State Geodetic
Administration does not have any in-house production capacity
