Plan of Areas of Natural Interest (PEIN) v1.0 - October 2019

Limits of the areas of natural interest defined in Decree 328/1992, which approves the Plan of areas of natural interest (PEIN), and any subsequent modifications that may have occurred. This base includes spaces at a scale of 1:50 000 and, in some cases, 1:5 000. The PEIN establishes a network of spaces representative of the rich landscape and biodiversity of the territory of Catalonia, from high mountains to coastal plains, and from Euro-Siberian forests to semi-desert wastelands or marine spaces. The PEIN is the higher level planning instrument that structures the system of protected areas of Catalonia and integrates this system within the whole territory, as it is a sectorial territorial plan framed within the Territorial Plan of Catalonia (1995). Subsequent to its approval, specific modifications to the rules and limits have been approved by decree, as well as extensions or additions of new spaces.

Purpose
The objective of this geoinformation is: To delimit and establish the necessary measures for the basic protection of natural spaces, whose conservation it is necessary to ensure, in accordance with the scientific, ecological, landscape, cultural, social, educational and recreational values ​​that they possess; Facilitate knowledge, by the public administration and citizens, of the territorial limits of natural spaces, as well as their identification and surface; Provide a reference base for the development of any activity that has a territorial impact and that must take into account the existence of protected sites. They are especially relevant in the field of technical activities, management, planning or administration of the territory; Make it possible to carry out operations and consultations for territorial analysis or incidence with other geographic information data sets.

Description
The dataset referred to in this metadata corresponds to the entire territory of Catalonia and the adjacent marine area. Its horizontal extension is described in this metadata in geographical coordinates with the minimum and maximum longitude and latitude of the minimum rectangle containing the cartography scope. It is, therefore, an approximate geographical area.

Domain consistency

Name of measure
Compliance with INSPIRE requirements (metadata)
Evaluation method description
The compliance of the metadata is evaluated using the "INSPIRE Validador" Web tool, "Conformance Class 2" test. The metadata is considered correct when the only errors reported are related with the main language of the metadata file. These errors are due to the fact that Catalan is not included in the list of official languages of the European Union.

Conformance result

Pass
Yes
Statement
The initial digitization of the spaces was done using the Topographic Base 1:50 000 of the ICGC and, in the successive revisions, the Topographic Base 1:5 000 (of the ICGC) is used, following in any case the description of the delimitation of the different spaces and later modifications. The use of one Base or the other in the digitization of the polygons is indicated as an attribute of them.
