Information Support of Regions – Organic Farming


No 3/2013, September

Abstract

The paper strives to introduce opportunities for information support of regions by means of a map output within www application. It presents a recent solution of a map portal using a database of organic farms in the Czech Republic. The map outputs are visualized by means of a new version of the MPPR 2.0 system (Map Portal for Regional Development – version 2.0) and have been processed for the South Bohemian Region organic farms in the pilot stage. The results account for initial data from 2012 (organic farms in the records of the Ministry of Agriculture as at 31st December 2011) that have been verified and recorded in the database. Out of the total number of 516 organic farms in the region, it was feasible to verify, localize and position 472 entities.
