THE IMPORTANCE OF CREATING SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE IN ORDER TO DEVELOP TOURISM FOR THREE CITIES IN LAKE OHRID - STRUGA, OHRID AND POGRADEC

Summary/Abstract: The need for spatial planning and their distribution has stimulated the development of spatial data infrastructure at national, regional and global levels. The initiatives aim to provide a smooth, fast, unique and simple access to spatial data to all interested users. This applies to all those who in their work are directly or indirectly related to the use of spatial data such as: spatial planners, architects, civil engineers, agronomists, foresters, travel agencies, citizens, etc.. The importance of spatial data infrastructure that was understood from the moment when people realized the importance and value of information about space and location of activity, is when they realized that information on spatial data should be collected, processed and be available for anyone interested. Creating spatial data infrastructure for three cities that lie on the shore of Lake Ohrid, Struga, Ohrid and Pogradec (R. Albania) is a very important element that would be used in all walks of life, economy and science. This paper will present the influence of spatial data infrastructure for the region, intended to boost its economic development, especially tourism as economic branch with a lot of resources. We also emphasize the damage that this region has as a result of the lack of spatial data infrastructure and the benefits that would have as a result of the creation of spatial data infrastructure. The physical-geographical and socio-economic characteristics reflect the natural and human resources available to this region, the possibilities of economic and social development of the region and the possibility of regional cooperation regarding the attractive resources of Lake Ohrid.
