Sažetak
National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) strategies are key tool for establishment and development of Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) on national level. The quality of content and completeness of specific NSDI strategy is therefore essential for efficient development of NSDI. One of the components of the completeness is also representation of all three main NSDI contributing stakeholder groups (government, business and education sector) in strategy with proper addressing of their tasks and needs. It is not seldom that this representation of stakeholder groups in NSDI strategies is not well balanced, affecting the impact capacity of such NSDI strategies. Another important aspect in NSDI strategies is promotion of SDI concept and services. Based on experience gathered in frame of BESTSDI project, presence of promotional activities in NSDI strategies are subject of analysis and evaluation. Namely, level of awareness about SDI among stakeholders and users has direct impact on efficiency in implementation of SDI among them. Having in mind that establishment and development of NSDI is presently important activity for National Mapping and Cadaster Authorities (NMCA) in the region of Western Balkans, in this paper analysis of NSDI strategies of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Macedonia is presented pointing out their strengths and weaknesses in regards of mentioned factors.
