Sažetak
To be successful, environment protection activities require reliable and timely data and information. Following that active approach in preservation of environment, Croatian Environment Agency (CEA) has prepared by-law on Environment Information System. This legal instrument has been adopted by the Government in June 2008 (Official Gazette 68/08) setting up structure, content, format, functionality and Environment Information System (EIS) maintenance manner, together with prescription of data flow mode (delivery terms, means and obligations. Responsibility for by-law implementation lays to the Croatian Environment Agency. As institution responsible for establishment, conduct, development, coordination and maintenance of EIS, in June 2008, Agency initiated research named: Estimation of usage of environmental data and information. Main goals of this research were to determine who is Agency’s audience, what is their field of interest, how Agency could make modification in presentation of environmental data and information and also to help to perform education more successfully. Also the research has defined the usage of data and information from all sources at the disposal of Agency, as well as usage from other sources established at the national level. Their responses proved to be of great value that would help Agency to make its information system more efficient. Research ended by the end of year 2008 with valuable information that has been used to improve Agency’s first approach to general public. By targeting specific environmental topics in the publication, this research provided clearer understanding of purpose in using environmental data and information. Also user profiles and their interest for specific environmental topic became more distinctive. All of these inputs are used to improve access to data and information about the environment and ultimately Agency’s publication The Environment in Your Pocket, which is intended for the general public.
