Prague will have a unified green passport system
15.11.2021 10:41 | Press Release
At its meeting today, the City Council approved a press discussing the creation of a unified system of shared data on greenery in the capital city of Prague. It is a document that ensures the creation of a single standardized information set of data on urban greenery, on which all greenery managers in the capital will be based.
The unified system of shared data on greenery in the capital city of Prague is based on the long-term inconsolable state of Prague’s greenery, when its administration is divided among several administrators. Administrators of urban greenery are mostly municipal organizations such as the Technical Administration of Roads, the Transport Company, but also the Prague city district and subsequently the Department of Environmental Protection of the Prague City Hall. At the same time, these organizations compile their own green passports and the overall database is then fragmented and incomplete.
The creation of a unified system of shared data on greenery means for individual urban greenery administrators the obligation to provide the Institute of Planning and Development of Prague with information on spatial location, identification and basic descriptive data of green objects and other related objects, such as trees, areas, furniture, watercourses, water areas. and equipment of the accompanying technical infrastructure. Furthermore, the data of concept documents in relation to the green-blue infrastructure, such as the city-wide green system, ÚSES or the tree line concept.
The unified system of shared data on greenery will not list all the data of green passports, but only those that are necessary for solving coordination and city-wide conceptual and planning tasks in relation to the blue-green infrastructure.
“The need to create a unified system for green passports is coming to the surface in the long run. In my own work, I came across problems associated with insufficient data on greenery, or the inconceivability of individual information. I had to apply for each passport of an individual green administrator separately, in addition, each administrator has a green passport in a different system. I see the unification of information about greenery in Prague as a very positive step, because it will facilitate the work not only of the administrators but also the coordinators of urban infrastructure and it will save a lot of energy and time, which can be devoted to other activities related to greenery in Prague. Tomáš Murňák (Pirates), Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Territorial Development, Spatial Plan and Monument Care of the City of Prague, comments on the situation.
The pilot task of the proposed system is the idea of creating a unified data layer of areas of competence of individual green area managers. m of Prague. The elaboration of this layer and ensuring the system of its long-term updating is a necessary basis for the operation of the system and at the same time influencing all actors involved in planning, administration, maintenance and decision-making in the public space in the city.
The coordinator of the creation of data layers of the administrators’ activities is the proposed IPR, the data will be valid and created in cooperation with the IAP MHMP, TSK, OCP, HOM and individual green district administrators.
