The initiatives taken aim at providing a quick, single and simple access to spatial data for all interested users. One of the requirements for Croatia to enter the European integrations is a set-up of the national spatial data infrastructure, which is in its beginnings.

For that purpose, a research was done on the needs of spatial data producers and users for a set-up of the national spatial data infrastructure. Furthermore, a brief overview of the spatial data infrastructure, its parts and included subjects has been outlined. Under review is also the impact of collecting fees for use of spatial data on the efficiency of the national spatial data infrastructure, which should satisfy needs and expectations of users in all walks of life.
