ds_Name:
Common Database on Designated Areas (CDDA)

ds_Definition:
The definition of a "protected area" adopted by IUCN is:

An area of land and/or sea especially dedicated to the protection and maintenance of biological diversity, and of natural and associated cultural resources, and managed through legal or other effective means.

Furthermore, IUCN recognises:

Although all protected areas meet the general purposes contained in this definition, in practice the precise purposes for which protected areas are managed differ greatly. The following are the main purposes of management: Scientific research, Wilderness protection, Preservation of species and genetic diversity, Maintenance of environmental services, Protection of specific natural and cultural features, Tourism and recreation, Education, Sustainable use of resources from natural ecosystems, Maintenance of cultural and traditional attributes.

The definition of a "designated area" within the CDDA is very similar. The "designation types" are grouped according to 3 classes, which clearly reflects the note above by identifying designation types in other sectors (type B). Type C could refer to "or other effective means".

As some of the designation types do not refer to the creation of individual site networks, the definition of the CDDA also includes "area covering" designations such as the protection of the complete distribution of certain habitats. This is an addition to the IUCN "protected area" definition.

ds_Methodology:
CONTENT OF THE CURRENT CDDA DATABASE

The 2005 CDDA database on nationally designated areas contains three products:
·	List of designation types at national or sub-national level, according to the typology developed in the Standard Data Form for Natura2000 under the Habitats Directive or the Emerald network under the Bern Convention 
·	The sites data base for those designation types which create site networks
·	Boundary information 

For the validation, the existing data on designation types and on sites for each country are distributed in one MS-Access file "CDDA-XX-YYYYMM" with four data tables:

·	Designations-XX: 	list of designation types
·	Sites-XX: 	table of nationally designated areas
·	Siterelations-XX: 	table indicating the site relationships
·	Habitats-XX: 	table containing habitat information


"XX" 	stands for the IS0 2 character country code
"YYYY"	stands for the year in which the file was created
"MM"	stands for the month in which the file was created


# DEFINITIONS_ELEMENTS_DO_NOT_MODIFY

e_Definition:
Reference to the publication in Official Journal

e_Methodology:
Please enter the full reference to the Official Journal in which the law was published.

For type C designations this field can be left blank.


e_Methodology:
Please enter the full reference to the law (including paragraph number(s)) covering the designation type concerned.

Total area in hectares covered within the present version of the CDDA sites table.

e_Methodology:
The total surface area coverage (ha) shown in this field together with number of sites shown in the "Number" is given by ETC BD just for your information to help you to check the data more easily. 

You should NOT correct the figures in these fields. 

The fields will be updated subsequently by ETC BD from the corrections and additions that you make to the Sites table.


e_Methodology:
To avoid all misunderstandings with translations of titles, each designation type must be identified with its correct title in original language referenced to an official source (Law, decree,….). 

This should guarantee the best link to the real situation in your country. In the case of other character sets you should transliterate the titles (e.g. Greek, Cyrillic).


e_Definition:
French translation of the official title of the designation.

e_Methodology:
For a better understanding in an international context, the official titles are translated in to English and French. When translation is obvious or already available in the existing information, the fields are filled. 

Please correct or add the necessary translations to what you think reflects best the title in original language.


e_Definition:

Reference to source of information for the remarks


e_Definition:
Number of Sites for this designation as indicated by an official source.

e_Methodology:
The value in this field has been taken from an official information source (Environmental reports, biodiversity reports, official websites, ….). 

This information is a way of evaluating the completeness and quality of the site data in the CDDA. 

The values in these fields should NOT be changed, unless more recent official statistics are available. Please indicate in this case the sources used in the field "Data Source".


e_Definition:
The total surface area coverage (hectares) as indicated by an official source for non-site based designation types .

It should be filled if the field "CDDA sites" is "No".

e_Methodology:
The statistic for the total surface area covered has been taken from an official information source (Environmental reports, biodiversity reports, official websites, ….). 

The value should NOT be changed, unless more recent official statistics are available. Please indicate in this case the sources used in the field "Data Source".


e_Definition:
English translation of the official title of the designation.


e_Definition:
This field accumulates codes given in appendix D of the NATURA 2000 Standard Data Form or Emerald Standard Data Form. This code is unique for national designation types in EUNIS.

e_Methodology:
Designation code should always be ISO2 character country code + 2 numbers starting with 00 (indicating designation type "No protection status" and ending with 99 indicating "Others")

For countries which have not yet checked the data through the EIONET data flow process, it is still possible to find designation codes as abbreviations (not like described above) that were present in the CDDA before. If such abbreviations are still present in your country database, they should be marked to be deleted if the designation type does not correspond to an existing type in the law or they should be transformed to the coding principles explained above as new entry. 

For designations that are not yet present, a new code is to be given following the coding principles in the appendix of the NATURA 2000 and Emerald Standard Data Form (described above).


e_Definition:
Flag to indicate that the designation should be deleted.

e_Methodology:
To be able to maintain the central data base, designation types which are not valid any more can be marked for deletion in this field. 

The reason for deletion should be added in the remarks field. 

As long as existing linked data still use those codes they are kept alive in the central data base. As soon as all tables are compatible with this deletion, the record will be actually deleted from the data base. 

As an example we can mention some of the designations from the first version of the NATURA2000 Standard Data Form (appendix D) which are now marked for deletion. But, the present NATURA2000 data base is still using the code and needs updating according to the new list.


e_Definition:
Official source (Environmental report, biodiversity report, official website,..) of the statistics for the designation.

e_Methodology:
Enter the reference to the documents or other information sources.


e_Definition:
Flag to indicate whether the designation does or does not create sites (is measurable by area).

e_Methodology:
A "Yes" in this field indicates that the CDDA should contain sites data for this designation, even if no sites are yet recorded in the Sites table.

As explained in the description of the Designations table, some of the designation do not create sites in the classical sense, such as the protection of the complete distribution of a particular habitat or zoning systems in other sectors.

In the case you indicate "No", you are asked to fill an estimate or exact figure of the area covered within the country by this designation in the "Total Area Reference" field.


e_Methodology:
Any useful remark to understand what this designation is about may be entered in this field.

If the designation is to be deleted from the CDDA, the reason should be explained here.

e_Methodology:
This field may NOT be changed as it forms the link to the source data base. 

For newly created sites, the international data manager will fill this field, when integrating the sites in the central data base management system. After that, the codes will flow back to the national data base.

If sites are to be merged or a site needs to be split in to more different parts, ETC/BD should be consulted on how to proceed with the site codes given at international level.


e_Methodology:
Any remark, which is useful to understand the data entered in the other fields of the site record, can be added here.

The reason for flagging a site record for deletion should be given here.


e_Definition:
Year of establishment. The year the site was first time designated.

e_Methodology:
Subsequent revisions of the site should not be mentioned here, only the year the site was designated. 

If a site was designated previously under another designation type or site name, but not longer valid, a comment should be made in the NOTES field in the Sites table.


e_Definition:
The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) is defined only for the Member States of the European Union.
For the candidate countries awaiting accession to the EU, for the other European Economic Area (EEA) countries and for Switzerland, a coding of Statistical Regions has been defined by Eurostat in agreement with the countries concerned.

e_Methodology:
This field is of particular interest for countries with regionalised administrative structure. It enables the splitting of the database in to different regions.

If a site has received more than one designation, you should find or create for each of the designations a separate record containing the attributes for the designation type concerned.


e_Definition:
ISO 3 character code for the reporting country


e_Methodology:
Some countries still have site names translated in English. They should be corrected to the name in local language! For languages with other than Latin characters, a transliteration should be used (e.g. Greek, Cyrillic)


e_Methodology:
Degrees west should be indicated with a minus sign


e_Definition:
The name of the person who did the actual editing of the data.


e_Methodology:
If some fields in the site record are corrected and some are updated, you may choose the most important change type, according to your expert judgement.


e_Methodology:
A "0" area value may be given to point objects, like trees, caves or steep cliffs etc. 
This field should contain the latest surface area figure. 
Changes in surface area for a particular site are not recorded.


e_Methodology:
Degrees should be labelled with "E" or "W" when using degrees, minutes and seconds in separate fields. See data elements LONDEG, LONMIN, LONSEC.

e_Definition:
The minimum altitude (meters) above sea level within the site boundaries.


e_Definition:
The unique record identifier for the site in the national database on designated areas.

e_Methodology:
More and more countries are building up national databases on designated areas, which should be used as the source database for the CDDA.
If links between the unique record identifiers for sites are established, the future updates will be much easier to perform.


e_Definition:
The IUCN management categories according to the new system (IUCN (1994), Guidelines for Protected Area Management Categories: http://www.iucn.org/places/medoffice/definicionEN.htm

e_Methodology:
Sites with missing IUCN category are marked with either "NA" stands for "Not available" or "UA" which stands for "Unassigned". First category is mainly for those sites that never will have any IUCN categorisation and latter is especially those records which should be corrected and if possible a category should be given taking in to account the criteria for the application of the categories.

If you have entered one of categories above an explanation should be documented in the NOTES field, to be able to "understand" the reason why IUCN category is not available.


e_Definition:
To be able to maintain the central data base, sites which are not valid any more can be marked for deletion in this field.

e_Methodology:
When a site has been marked for deletion, the NOTES field in the Sites table should be used to indicate the reason for doing so.


e_Definition:
ISO 3 character code for the country where the site is located.

e_Methodology:
For countries with overseas territories under their jurisdiction, the ISO3 country code maybe different from the parent country code. (e.g. GLP for Guadeloupe and FRA for France. 

This distinction is made for easy integration in the World database on the one hand and easy administration on the other hand. In this way, countries are contacted only once for information about designated areas within the whole geographical area under their jurisdiction.

In most countries the ISO3 and PARENT_ISO codes are identical.


e_Definition:
The abbreviation of the institution responsible for editing of the record.


e_Definition:
The unique record identifier. This field can only contain existing site codes as identified in the Sites table.


e_Methodology:
Data formats: 
EEA is able to use GIS digital data in most standard mapping formats. ArcInfo export format and ArcView shape files are ideal, but Mapinfo interchange files or dxf files are also acceptable when sufficiently described. 

Different data structures may exist in different countries for geographical layers and attribute tables. Whatever format is used, it should be possible to extract from the delivered GIS data, separate layers for each of the designation types in "Designation" table and individual points, lines or polygons should refer to at least one of the CDDA site codes as indicated in the "Sites" table. 

If one site is designated under several designations it might be present in different GIS layers. In such cases, attention should be given that exactly the same boundary is present in the different layers.

# DEFINITIONS_TABLES_DO_NOT_MODIFY

tbl_Methodology:
In the table 'Designations', you will find a list of designations for your country.

The complete list should be verified and corrected according to the actual situation.

For EU member countries, the basis for this list were the data submitted for the creation of appendix D of the NATURA 2000 Standard Data Form ("Protection status categories in each Member State at national and regional level"). In this appendix the designation types are classified according to 3 categories:

Category A:	Designation types used with the intention to protect fauna, flora, habitats and landscapes (the latter as far as relevant for fauna, flora and for habitat protection).
Category B:	Statutes under sectorial, particularly forestry, legislative and administrative acts providing an adequate protection relevant for fauna, flora and habitat conservation.
Category C:	Private statute providing durable protection for fauna, flora or habitats

For non-EU countries, the list is based on the data being prepared under the Emerald network of the Bern Convention. As Emerald is being developed on the same scientific and technical basis, the same coding principles are applied.

This list also contains statutes under sectorial, particularly forestry, legislative and administrative acts, many of them do not result in a specific list of sites, but they may be used as a designation within individual areas, identified under other legislation.

In some cases, additional designation types were identified resulting from earlier data requests on designated areas by the CDDA partner organisations (UNEP-WCMC and/or Council of Europe). These types have been added to the list with an abbreviation in the national designation type code when data were already present in the common data base or with a code starting with "XX98" downwards (XX being the ISO 2 character country code).

tbl_ShortDescription:
Table contains the list of designations and references to laws


tbl_Definition:
EUNIS habitat classification level 1 to level 4.

tbl_Methodology:
ETC BD has prefilled this table in the CDDA-XX-YYYYMM.mdb database with the latest version of the EUNIS habitat classification to support countries in completing the Site habitats table.

tbl_ShortDescription:
Lookup table for EUNIS habitats prefilled by ETC BD in January 2005.


tbl_Definition:
Information on the site records for each designation type creating "sites" (the field "CDDA sites" in the Designations table must be set to "Yes")

tbl_Methodology:
Geographical co-ordinates:
The geographical co-ordinates can be stored in two different ways: decimal degrees (LAT, LON) or degrees, minutes and seconds in separate fields (LAT_NS, LATDEG, LATMIN, LATSEC, LON_EW, LONDEG, LONMIN, LONSEC). You are free to choose whatever system is easier for you. 

Any point within the boundary of the designated area is considered to be correct. In the case of "multi-polygon" areas, expert judgement should provide the best location of the central point, usually within the largest sub-area, but always within site boundaries. 

The use of GIS data to fill those fields is highly recommended, especially for countries that have already boundary information in a GIS format available.

tbl_ShortDescription:
The table contains the information on the individual designated areas at national level.


tbl_Definition:
Officially recognised boundaries in an interchangeable digital format with known projection at a scale of 1/100.000 or nearest possible for all designation types and sites in the CDDA.

tbl_Methodology:
The geographical details must have been digitised only from maps or geographical documents of the same detail and quality as the official published topographic maps and meeting all the standards of the competent topographical institute. 

Polygons should be referenced to the CDDA designation types (designation type code) on the one hand and the CDDA sites data base (site code) on the other hand.

You may find useful information at EIONET GIS http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gis


tbl_Name:
Look up table for change type made in CDDA

tbl_Definition:
This look up table contains three categories of changes made in CDDA during update process: update of record, additional record or correction of error

tbl_Methodology:
A - additional new record
C - correction of an error in existing record
U - update of existing record


tbl_Definition:
This table allows to indicate neighbouring sites or sites belonging to different designation types which overlap or neighbour each other.

tbl_Methodology:
This table can only be filled if boundary information is available for a significant part of all designation types described. The relational data are the only way to produce reliable statistics on surface area covered by different designation categories.


tbl_Definition:
This table accumulates data on habitats and habitat cover within the site boundary.

tbl_Methodology:
For habitat-types, the EUNIS Habitat classification is used as the reference, at least to the second level, but if possible even to the fourth level of the hierarchy. The habitat definition list has been added as the table EUNIS_habitats_level_4_for CDDA.

Additional information can be obtained by contacting ETC/BD or visiting the EUNIS database at http://www.eunis.eea.europa.eu

List of IUCN management categories for protected areas


tbl_Definition:
One area can be designated by a set of different designations partly or completely overlapping each other. For each of these designation types, a separate record should be present in the Sites table. This table allows to indicate neighbouring sites or sites belonging to different designation types which overlap each other. Also sites having more than one polygon should be indicated as sites distinct but related.
