The environmental impact assessment (EIA) has become a permanent element of each planning and investment process. In case of the majority of activities of potential environmental impact the decision-making procedures assume early identifi cation and assessment of risks. A signifi cant limitation for the common and effi cient execution of environmental assessments may be associated with obstacles in terms of access to information on the environment, arising from technical, legal, organisational and fi nancial factors. In order to increase the effi ciency of management at all levels of administration and provide free access to environmental data for EU citizens, based on the provisions of the INSPIRE directive [3], the spatial information infrastructure is created (IIP). Its main role is to streamline the resources of spatial information, facilitate and accelerate the performance of administration at all levels and to make information on environmental quality and values available to the society. Due to the broad scope of environmental analyses conducted while executing the environmental impact assessment, access to the consistent database describing the most important environmental components should be considered as the key element of their eff ectiveness as a tool of environmental management. However, for the effi cient use of data for the needs of EIA it is necessary to fulfi l the following conditions: – providing for temporal and spatial coherence of the information; – correlating the content of individual thematic layers with formal requirements referring to the scope of the EIA, associating the amendments of law in both areas; – determining the scope of metadata allowing for searching and aggregation of information in terms of implementation of the environmental impact assessment process (and, at a longer-term perspective, application of decision support algorithms for this purpose).
