State of the Municipal map v1.0 - January 2025

Geographical base at 1:5,000 scale which shows, for each of the municipal boundary lines, the status of the process of elaboration, approval and completion of each line of the municipal boundary for the execution of the Municipal Map of Catalonia (Decree 244/2007, of 6 November). The Municipal Map (MM) is the set of lines that make up the municipal boundary, regardless of the number of sections. The current municipal boundaries come from the replan made from the delimitation document of the early twentieth century, when they were first set. The project of the MM that are carrying out the Directorate General of Local Administration (DGAL) and the Cartographic and Geologic Institute of Catalonia (ICGC), facilitates to the city councils the procedure to modify the line of boundary and adapt it, if necessary, to the current reality of the territory, generating a new municipal line that once approved by the Plenary Sessions of the city councils and published in the DOGC remains as a line of current delimitation. The municipal delimitation is dynamic due to its link with the territorial changes, but today it is more so because it is subject to the evolution of the elaboration of the MM. The base is updated periodically based on the sessions of the Territorial Delimitation Commission, which take place three times a year.

Purpose
The objectives of this geoinformation are: To know, on the part of the city councils and the other official administrations, the municipal boundaries of Catalonia; Have a permanently updated municipal boundary base, which includes the status of all processes that may affect any of the boundary lines; Provide a precise basis for the development of any activity that has a territorial impact, including activities of a technical, management, planning or administrative nature; Possibility to carry out operations and consultations of analysis or territorial incidence with other datasets of geographic information.

Name of measure
Compliance with INSPIRE requirements (metadata)
Evaluation method description
The compliance of the metadata is evaluated using the "INSPIRE Reference Validator" web tool. 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.

Statement
The determination of the trajectory of the municipal boundary lines included in this geoinformation comes from the selective fusion of different sources of information that are used in the process for the final approval of the boundary lines of the municipalities of Catalonia. In order to offer a base of boundary limits with the maximum topological guarantees some geometric inconsistencies have been edited. The different steps within the municipal map approval process may mean geometric or topological inconsistencies between lines that are at different stages (e.g. connections in junction areas of three terms that do not coincide). On the other hand, the general work of replan of the boundary lines, have also shown inconsistencies between the layouts of the lines corresponding to the historical acts (for example lines with coincident sections). See the technical specifications for more details on the production process.
