CoastGIS’99: geomatics and coastal environment
could be considered in the future using 3D or 4D. Further improvements are also needed in terms of the GIS-Web coupling.
Disseminating information on the Internet is hampered mainly by
broadcasting rights. The problem is especially serious as regards the highwatermark, which is involved in the construction of a great number of
zonings.
It is equally important that there is better communication in the field
of jurisdictional information. The setting up of systematic monographies according to each field of activity is likely to facilitate intersectoral communication. It is necessary to develop networks of thematic
jurisdictional monitoring and textual databases. As the transcription
of rights is becoming increasingly more accurate in terms of georeferenced data (digital management, positioning), it is important for legal
advisors and technicians to co-operate more closely together in order
to better define and interpret the law.
The development of GIS and georeferenced databases can play a major
role in improving the dissemination and coherency of existing boundaries
and zonings and in defining new management zonings resulting from
multi-parameter analysis. It is also essential to reflect about the objectives,
the parties concerned, and the systems which lead to the setting up of
these zonings, in order to find ways and means of simplifying the procedures. This must be done in the light of foreign experience, and furthermore, the sociological and economic repercussions of space specialisation must not be overlooked. It would also be interesting to have units
which are common to several fields, and which are stable and small
enough to ensure the collection of statistics, as is the case on land.
