BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA A BRIEF HISTORICAL OVERVIEW ON EARTH OBSERVATION ACTIVITIES The first cartographic presentations of smaller parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which were obtained by direct fields observing, were generated in the last decades of the 17th century. From then until 1870, secret observations were intensely carried out by Austrian officers and agents, on the basis of which a number of maps were created. The most successful among them are those made by Kiepert, Scheda and Roskievic. First geodetic measurements in Bosnia were performed during 1871, by the Austrian surveying expedition (Sterneck, 1871; SterneckMilinkovic, 1872). In the period 1880-1884 Military Geographical Institute in Vienna (MGI) performed cadastral survey of the whole territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the basis of which they produced cadastral and topographic maps. After 1918, a leading role in mapping of Bosnia and Herzegovina territory was under the Military geographical institute in Belgrade. Maps that were created by 1950 are based on the renewal of the Austro-Hungarian maps. Beginning of 1953, surveying of Bosnia and Herzegovina were performed by aerial photogrammetry. By the beginning of the war in 1992, new topographic maps were produced for the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Geodetic Institute of Bosnia and Herzegovina created new cadastral plans for more than 90% of the country. Currently in Bosnia and Herzegovina there is no official institution for production of military and civil maps. CURRENT STATUS OF EARTH OBSERVATION ACTIVITIES 1. Policies 1.1 National policies and implementation For the first time in Bosnia and Herzegovina is expected to start with activities in the spatial data infrastructure, all in accordance with the INSPIRE (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community) Directives of the European Union. In cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Physical Planning, information about the spatial data infrastructure in the Federation B&H was obtained and adopted by the Government of the Federation and that gives the first guidelines for these activities. During next year it is expected to complete the DOF project (digital orthophoto), which is financed by the European Commission. This project will include the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Digital orthophoto of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was already produced during 2007 - 2009. Around 4000 new sheets in scale 1:5000 were made mainly for the purpose of spatial planning. Partner of Federal ministry of physical planning for this activity was Angermeier, a private owned company. Thanks to the cooperation and assistance of Japan International Cooperation Agency JICA, Ministry of Civil Affairs and Communications of Bosnia and Herzegovina and JICA in 2002. signed an agreement on the introduction of the project "Establishment of digital topographic maps of Bosnia and Herzegovina". Realization of this project is planned on the basis of a new aerial photogrammetric surveys and using the existing analog 1:25000 topographic maps. JICA, in cooperation with the Federal Administration for Geodetic and Property Affairs, the Republic Administration for Geodetic and Property Affairs of the RS entity and Brcko District Geodetic Administration produced new topographic maps (47 sheets) for the 21 inhabited place. Further work on this project have continued by both Administration for Geodetic and Property Affairs, with the aim of complete digital topographic maps of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Bosnia and Herzegovina in the last decade, actively implemented the transformation of cadastral plans from analog to digital form. So far, the digitizing was completed by about 50% of the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina (by entities: FBiH 30% and RS 70%). These activities are conducted by private companies, such as Angermeier, Geometrika and Gauss. 1.2 Official national data and projection

Organizations providing various spatial Data Sets and Services I. Entities Administration for Geodetic and Property Affairs The most complete and updated map and EO collection is available from the Federal Geodetic Administration and Geodetic Administration of RS, both assumes the role of the major coordinators with respect to spatial data. Different kinds of EO products in various scales may be found: large scale cadastral maps with and without elevations (1:500, 1:1000; 1:2500 and 1:5000 new surveys, 1 :1562.5, 1:3125 and 1:6250 old surveys), overview maps, maps of underground lines and facilities, topographic maps (1:5000, 1:10000, 1:25000, 1:50000, 1:100000, 1:200000), agricultural maps, soil, prudential and erosian maps, aerial photographs, etc. II. Ministry of Civil Affairs Sector for geodetic, geological and meteorological affairs performs tasks: preparing

and executing regulations, duties and tasks that are within the competence of Bosnia and Herzegovina and which relate to defining basic principles of coordination of activities, compliance plans of the Entity authorities and defining a strategy at the international level in areas: land surveying activities, including cooperation in this field with the international Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) and with other international associations in this field, participate in the preparation and execution of international agreements in this field; tasks related to the basic geodetic works and mapping of importance for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Under the jurisdiction of this Ministry is Center for Mine Action in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which produces maps of minefields in Bosnia and Herzegovina. III. Ministry of Communication and Transport Under the jurisdiction of this Ministry is BHDCA - Bosnia and Herzegovina Directorate of Civil Aviation, which produces various air navigation maps and charts. IV. Ministry of Defense Ministry of Defence is responsible for planning and performing surveying, photogrammetry and cartographic activities of interest for defense, supervision over the execution of these tasks and concerns about the preservation, storage and distribution of geodetic, photogrammetric and cartographic materials and documents relevant to the defense. V. Entity Ministries of Physical Planning Federal Ministry of Physical Planning and RS Ministry of Physical Planning, Civil Engineering and Ecology perform and expert and other tasks falling under the competence of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and RS that relate to preparation of basic maps: geophysical, seismological, geometrical, minerogenetic, geochemical, geomorphologic and others. VI. Entity Ministries of Agriculture, Water Management and Forestry These Ministries are responsible for development of pedological maps, erosion maps, forestry maps as well as other special-purpose maps. VII. Entity Ministries of Transport and Communications Under the jurisdiction of these Ministries is Entity Directorates of Civil Aviation, which produces various air navigation maps and charts. VIII. Entity Ministries of Energy, Mining and Industry These Ministries are preparing geological maps for spatial planning, the maps for the construction, mining and other activities, maps for the development of forestry, agriculture, water supply, and the development of urbanization and infrastructure.
