Detecting and interpreting physical changes over time is important because they can have significant impacts on society, the environment, the economy and the space around us. The Law on Spatial Planning (ZUreP-3) introduces monitoring of spatial changes to control and record spatial changes. In recent years, within the ministry responsible for spatial planning and the constituent authorities, several operational projects have been carried out to detect spatial changes that are relevant to these actors. Individually, some projects are examples of good practice, but as a coherent whole, there is room for improvement.
Detecting physical change as soon as possible after it occurred is very important for the timeliness of spatial datasets and for the monitoring and control of spatial changes. Today, there are many data sources and technologies that, with their timeliness and their ability to process and analyse data sources with artificial intelligence, allow us to detect spatial change in a very short time.
In accordance with the stated starting points, the project will, on the basis of an analysis of concepts, users and their needs, data sources and technologies, and a test of the selected data source and technology, provide a concept for a system for the uniform detection of physical spatial changes in Slovenia. The primary objective is to design a system that uses different data sources and technologies for spatial change detection, supports different users in the public sector and is flexible in terms of additional data sources, technologies and content requirements of users.
The project will be divided into 5 work packages (WP), which will be divided into a total of 13 activities with 13 deliverables:
WP 1: Review of the state-of-the-art in the detection of physical spatial changes
WP 2: Research of new data sources and technologies to reduce the time for detection of physical spatial changes
WP 3: Test of a selected recommended data source and technology
WP 4: Conceptual modelling of a system for the unified detection of physical spatial changes
WP 5: Dissemination
The first WP will review and analyse the state-of-the-art and concepts of physical change detection in Slovenia and abroad. The key purpose of the physical spatial change detection system, that is a subject of development in this project, will be defined in more detail.
In the second WP, new data sources and technologies available today for the detection of physical spatial changes will be researched. Based on the research, recommendations will be made for the selection of new data sources and technologies that fit the key purpose and content of the planned system.
In the third WP, a test of the selected data source and technology will be designed and implemented, and its results will be controlled and evaluated.
The fourth WP will identify the potential users of the system and their needs and the types of changes relevant to these users. Based on the analyses and research in the previous activities, a concept for a system for the unified detection of spatial changes in Slovenia will be developed.
Results will be disseminated in WP5. This includes reporting and final recommendations of the project, as well as presenting the results to the professional and scientific community.
