GIT Karelia

Closed

The project was part of the extensive Barents region’s geographic infrastructure (GIT Barents) project, which was a joint effort between the land surveying institutions of the Barents co-operation area as well as the land committees on the Russian side of the border. The GIT Karelia project aimed to implement similar map database and internet service implementations in Northern Ostrobothnia, Kainuu and Northern Karelia as the GIT Barents II project will be implementing in the rest of the Barents co-operation area. The project activities would include basic improvement, updating and combining of the 1M map database, the creation and combining of the 3M and 12M map databases, adding these map databases to the internet service, and the identification of the available theme databases in the Euregio Karelia area and their potential linking to the shared internet service. 50 percent of the project funding was received from the European Regional Development fund and 50 percent from Finland’s Environmental Administration under the Ministry of the Environment.
