The GIS support for the existing HEGYIR vineyard databases providing Vineyard Register for all vineyard communities in the country is a currently running project of the FÖMI. The map of the potential production site for vineyards that was developed and maintained by the Viticultural and Enological Research Institute (SZBKI) on analogue maps showing the production site suitability for vineyards. These maps were created by onsite observation, but at that time the available maps and technology did not provide enough accuracy to demonstrate the research and the know-how. Now by the help of the GIS technology available in the VINGIS the update of this maps become easier and more efficient. At the same time new research opportunities become possible (e.g.: protection of vines with designated origin). Proceeding: The Hungarian National Vineyard GIS According to the regulations on viticulture and oenology the VINGIS is the GIS background that supports vineyard registration and serves as a basis to check and supervise grants awarded for vineyard uprooting, planting and restructuring, and subsidies paid on vineyard-basis. The VINGIS system - developed and operated by FÖMI - permits several novel professional analyses on Hungarian vineyards. The establishment of the VINGIS started in 2001 and it was continuously modified until it reached its current form. The goals of the VINGIS system are the followings: serving the fulfillment of the CAP, to utilize the aids of the sector the establishment of an integrated nation-wide professional register, to facilitate the discernment, and decision-making of agricultural governance, and wine-viticulture sectorial institutions and leaders, to create possibility for the quality improvement of the obligatory statistical reports, to firm the Vineyard Communities in completion of their statutory tasks, being an instrument of improvement in the quality production, market competitiveness, assurance of protecting the

2 designated origin, and to take action against adulteration of wine. The GIS approach allows an objective analysis of the utilization degree of the actual wine producing capacity, promotes the design to realize favorable modifications and so supports also the tasks of legal regularization and control. It fosters the skilled establishment of plans for restructuring and transformation made by the Vineyard Communities Councils of the wine regions; The data of the VINGIS have two groups: alphanumeric and geometric data. The alfanumeric data also can be further categorized based on their sources. The biggest part of data is the vineyard data, most of which comes from the HEGYIR, the rest of the data is created during the geographical referencing of the vineyards. The next group of the alfanumeric data is the descriptiv data of maping production site suitability for vineyards. Finally data conected to the uprooting and planting belongs here since In 2004 data were sent on a one-time ocasion about the uprooting that took place between , and the planting rights not used until Since that time each year we receive data of the current year uprootings and plantings. The geometrical data of the VINGIS: the vineyard layer (which shows the location of the vineyards), the cadastral layer (whics is the digital copy of the real estate register), the ortophoto layer (which was created based on the areal photography of the complete teritory of the), the topographic layer, the relief data (hight, aspect and slope category), the layer of the potential lands for vineyards, the toponymic layer, the uprooted vineyard layer, the planted vineyard layer, the layer of uprooted vineyard between , the layer of planting rights not used, the county boundary layer, the vineyard community boundary layer, the layer of products from protected origin. The Map of the Potential Production Site for Vineyards The basic goal and role of the descriptive data of mapping production site suitability for vineyards is to appoint the best areas for vine production, and within those areas, to differentiate the quality to promote the marketable and competitive wine production. In the background of this process is a qualification methodology dating back to several decades, which was developed by the Viticultural and Enological Research Institute (SZBKI). The descriptive data of mapping production site suitability for vineyards includes: Figure 1. Map of the potential lands for vineyards

3 Agrometeorology (frequency of winter frost damage, spring, fall frost damage), Soil (Soil type, Soil forming rock, PH and lime state, physical soil kind, water management features, Humus level, thickness of the production layer of soil. The area homogenity concerning the soil type), Water Figure 2. The map of potential lands for vineyards, and the existing vineyards management (watermanagement of the area based on site observation), degree of erosion, The lie of the land, (slope degree and aspect, elevation above sea level on hill and mountainside, emergence from the environment on the plain and flat areas, relief, area surface on hill and mountainside, relief, area surface on plain and flat areas, environment proximity of woods, degree of built up areas), area utilization, road conditions. The digitizing of these maps and integration into the VINGIS system, is very useful for the administrators of the vineyard communities, because they were using the paper versions of these maps in their daily work to draw the certificate of new plantation; moreover, it is also requirement, because according to the law, subsidies can be only provided for vineyards that are planted on areas suitable for vine production. On this map, the areas with the same value of production site are contoured by polygons and assigned a nuber. By digitizing of these polygons a map layer is created, which shows the area with optimal features for the plantation within the administrative boundaries of a settlement. This map can be connected to the tables of the detailed features. Updating The Map of the Potential Production Site for Vineyards with the help of the VINGIS The maps of the potential Production sites were created by onsite observation, but at that time the available maps and technology did not provide enough accuracy to demonstrate the research and the know-how. Now by the help of the GIS technology available in the VINGIS the update of this maps become easier and more efficient. The analysis of digital toponimic,

4 cadastral and vineyard maps together with their data allows the follow-up of products from the vineyard to the final utilization. It is a new approach to update the production site evaluation.

5 Predominant elements of the potential production value, exposition and frost-sensibility may be defined more exactly using DTM model. In a GIS system also exploitation degree and structure varieties of the first and second-class sites may be checked. The VINGIS also serves to support the system of protection of vines with designated origin. The regulations of the MARD concerning the different vine-growing regions permits to give the label of designated origin to a vine on the base of its derivation (community, topographic name where the vineyard is) and the variety, or on the value of winegrowing potential of the production site. The VINGIS gives opportunity to analyze and study the different areas based on their features and find out the common properties that makes an area unique and eligible to be a protected origin.
