Content Introduction of the Hungarian Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) Thematic informations in the LPIS The LPIS Quality Assurance Framework VINGIS Hungary Conclusions
The reason of managing LPIS in GIS Compulsory part of the IACS to magane the area based payment shemes for the farmers LPIS is the common reference of all agricultural activity needs the location of the agricultural parcels Proposes a basic reference unit=physocal block to declare the parcels + the administration to manage the contorls: adminstarive and the on-the-spot contol (CwRS + filed visits) Ensures a systematic follow-up of multi-annual scemes Several additional tematic information is integrated into the LPIS to help the administration with spatial services, planing etc.
The elementary units of LPIS-Hu: ortho-photo based physical blocks Boundaries of physical blocks (in GIS) Boundaries of SAPS eligible and non-eligible areas E8VQW-9-00 31.48 ha Unique block ID number and net eligible area Ortho-photo Digital cadastre overlay
Data sources of LPIS creation Multiannual satellite image series Orthophoto 2000 / (2003) Topographic map + + 1. Ortho-photography - geographical base (+broad land use) Integration of aerial and satellite data 13/03/2003-22/09/2003. 2. Topographic maps - help in defining stable elements in time 3. Satellite imagery (multiannual) - checking of block land use + and permanent boundaries
LPIS- Hu: ortho-photo based physical blocks definition To ensure that with regard to at least 75% of the reference parcells being subject to an aid application, at least 90% of the respective area is eligible pursuant to the singel payment scheme (Reg 796/2004, Art 6, para 2) in LPIS-Hu all the SAPS non-eligible areas of the block - bigger than 0.1 ha or wider than 4 m if linear - are excluded! The net SAPS eligible areas of the physical blocks are documented, in which case, this documented net area should be used in the calculation (and not the total area). (MARS-PAC Disc. Doc. v3.3 on Impl. of IACS-GIS, Reg. 1782/03 and 796/2004, para 5.1.6.)
Elements of LPIS-HU thematic layers for AEM Important small landscape features for AEM: SAPS non-subsidised natural or semi natural biotopes, features Wetlands + weed Parcel borders, ditches Delineation criteria: > 0.1 ha, wider than 6 m Parcel border (wider than 6 m) Forest strip on block border Eligibility or evaluation criteria, linked to blocks: LFA-19, LFA-20 ESA Vulnerable water resources Nitrate sensitive areas Areas affected by erosion 12% and 6% of slope areas affected by waterlog remote sensing analysis

Maintenance / update of LPIS-Hu (in GIS) Modification of physical block system regulated by MARD decree 115/2003 I. Review of LPIS-Hu based on farmer s notice the client is obliged to report any changes of the block that he/she made or goes on at any of his/her parts of cultivation [MARD reg. 115/2003. (XI. 13.)] II. III. Review of LPIS-Hu initiated by the offices, authorities (ARDA: over declaration at block level, on the spot control) Planned annual renewal of LPIS-Hu for 1/3 of country, based on new ortho-photo
I. Investigation of claims (farmers) for the modifications in the physical block system I. Claims collected by ARDA and handed over to FÖMI II. III. IV. FÖMI investigates claims Delivery the results of investigation to ARDA as a technical expert opinion ARDA make a decision about block modification 989 claims in 2004 Unjustified claims: 205 Revision of the delineations of the non-eligible areas: 436 Geoinformatical review: 488 On the spot investigation, measurement: 501 Tools: GPS, GIS, LPIS-Hu data, digital photo documentation Changes in landuse from the reference year of LPIS-Hu (aerial photos 2000): 348

LPIS Quality Assurance Framework Compulsory for all EU MS: art 6. of EU Regulation 1122/2009. - unified methodology, defined by the JRC ATS test: stat + MS specific eligibility profile ETS CAPI test annaual, sample based, visual interpretation + evaluation on multi-spectral satellite images: delinating diffrenet land cover categories and evaluating the actuality of the eligible area used in IACS 7 prime quality elements The QC test on the 2010 data is the test year The EC will have not only the result, but all the input data and the internal steps of the processing! QUESTION: how the result will be used?
Analysing the actuality of the SAPS eligible area Land use categories are delineated on the 2010 VHR image, and the area and the contamination of new non-eligible spots are compared to the last valid version of the block used in the IACS.
Preliminary results of the 2010 QC done by the EU member states Results of the LPIS QC-2010 evaluation by quality elements (QE) PASSED Failed No data 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% QE1 - The correct quantification of the maximum eligible area: the difference between recorded eligible area and observed eligible area in the LPIS over the sample should be less than or equal to 2% 20 5 1 QE2 - The proportion of reference parcels where the maximum eligible area takes ineligible areas into account or where it does not take agricultural area into account - should not exceed 5 % 7 16 3 QE3 - categorisation of reference parcels where the maximum eligible area takes ineligible areas into account or where it does not take agricultural area into account - max 5 % per cause 10 11 5 QE4 - The occurrence of reference parcels with critical defects (unwaivered max. 1%) 9 13 4 QE5 - The ratio of declared area in relation to the observed eligible area inside the reference parcels (95% of RP declared as 90%-110%) 5 20 1 QE6 - The percentage of reference parcels which have been subject to change, accumulated over the years (cum. 25%) 17 5 4 QE7 - The rate of irregularities determined during on-the-spot checks - max. 2% 20 4 2
Goals of Implementation & Operation of VINGIS Obligation resulting from the EU membership, serving the fulfillment of the CAP Facilitate the discernment, and decision-making of agricultural governance, and wine-viticulture sectorial institutions and leaders Create possibility for the quality improvement of our obligatory statistical reports Firm the Wine Communities in completion of their statutory tasks Instrument of improvement in the quality production, market competitiveness, assurance of protecting the designated origin, action against adulteration of wine
The 22 Winegrowing Regions of Hungary Council Regulation (EEC) No 2392/86 of 24 July 1986 establishing a Community vineyard register Comission Regulation (EEC) No 649/87 of 3 March 1987 laying down detailed rules for the establishment of a Community vineyard register Hungarian National GIS Vineyard Register (VINGIS)
Steps of Creating Vineyard Layer Cadastaral map Topographic map Ortophoto 1 st step Lot numbers given by the Wine Community identified on the cadastral map 2 nd step Errors checked with the help of the topographic map 3 rd step Validation checked on ortophoto with the help of the head of the Wine Community 4 th step The errors are corrected in the VINGIS

Conclusion The EU CAP provides a real challenge to geodesy, cartography, remote sensing GIS, WEB GIS and GPS techniques The requirements for the LPIS and different controls are regulated strongly by the EC E-governmental services makes the public workflows more ecomomical and faster The combination of traditional data bases cadastre, maps, DEM etc- plus new ones updated standard orthos, declaration database, - clearly demonstrate the complexity of the CAP, and opened new possibilites for the public sector in planing and scheme management The changes of the CAP as moving towards environmental and rural development importance indicates the diversification of the spatial data infrastructure, and the importance of GIS and RS applications
