Sažetak
Adopted in year 2007 the European’s Union directive on Infrastructure for Spatial Information in European Community (INSPIRE) has defined legislative frame for establishment of national and European Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI). Regardless to the fact that this directive is obligatory only for EU member states, it becomes also legislative frame for other non-EU countries. In this context, at the same time when INSPIRE directive has been adopted, countries in the Western Balkans region have started with development and implementation of national legislations introducing provisions about national SDI (NSDI). This development has been promoted by national mapping and cadastre authorities (NMCA) in respective countries and had definitely a national character. Due to the level of economic development and since there was no adoption obligation of INSPIRE directive for countries in the Western Balkans the steps in SDI development and their dynamics differ from development in European Union. Relying on own initiative in development of NSDI in respective countries, national NMCA’s had to search for optimal ways building their national SDI’s. Those developments were supported through the bilateral cooperation with donor countries, World Bank and EU projects, but, at the same time it was strongly influenced by developments in the region, especially after regional cooperation on cadastre and SDI has been established in year 2008. Established regional cooperation was especially productive in field of NSDI legislation adoption and institutional development speeding up the whole process. The aspects and range of the legislative efforts in the region, as well as its repercussion on SDI development, is the subject of this paper. Several issues are in the focus of investigation. The impact of adopted legislations with emphasis on the implemented solutions, conformity with INSPIRE directive, relevancy of international and regional cooperation on dynamics of implementation and relevancy of raising public awareness about the NSDI and its benefits to society.
