Review of Croatian ICT Research Activities on Sharing Environmental Information

The paper gives a review of research and development activities of Croatia, where application of information and communication technologies significantly improves environmental information management and reporting. The most important ICT based research activities on several environmental projects either at the national or international level are presented and discussed. For example, some interesting results of the Adriatic Sea investigations are mentioned. Within the Environmental Programme for the Danube River Basin, Croatia contributes to efficient data management by developing Web GIS for the Transnational Monitoring Network. Major activities on implementation of river information services at the pan-European and national levels are also described. Specialized information system for surveillance of the Croatian segment of the Danube River enables temporal and spatial presentation of waterway data. Information system architecture, based on the Web-GIS-DBMS integration, is presented. The very important task of sharing environmental information is the responsibility of the Croatian Environment Agency. An integrated environmental information system has been recently developed by using modern information technologies and communication standards in line with the European requirements.
