Dataset description

Nature conservation and wilderness areas — material consists of nature reserves established on the basis of the Nature Conservation Act or by decree on state land or by decision of the Provincial Government for private countries. The material also includes large-scale wilderness areas which are kept in natural state and are partly treated organically. Private protected areas include not only private protected areas (YSAs) but also specially protected areas (ERAs), nature habitats (LTAs) and temporary conservation areas (MRAs) in the Nature Conservation Act. Since 1 September 2014, the material has been produced in full in Metsähallitus’ SATJ system. The changes are updated every night, including download packages and interface services. There is also a separate INSPIRE data product, which is updated twice a year. The material is part of SYKE’s open data (CC BY 4.0). The data product INSPIRE has been published. Purpose: Management of information on nature reserves. For more information: https://geoportal.ymparisto.fi/meta/julkinen/dokumentit/Luonnonsuojelujaeramaaalueet.pdf The nature protected areas and wilderness reserves dataset includes nationally designated protected areas established on state owned land in accordance with the Nature Conservation Act or Nature Conservation decree, and areas established on private lands with a decision from the local Centres for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY-Centres). The dataset includes also extensive wilderness areas which are maintained in natural state and are at least partially naturally managed.The data on reserves on State-owned lands is produced by Metsähallitus. Protected sites established on private lands are Digitised in ELY-Centres (by the responsibility area for Environment and natural resources). This SYKE’s dataset can be used according to open data license (CC BY 4.0). Inspire compatible dataset has been published. The boundaries of national protected areas are mainly based on information obtained from Metsähallitus. Private closure decisions (so-called YSA areas) were originally digitised from the decision maps in the Ministry of the Environment and from the Finnish legislation collection.Decisions taken since 1997 have been digitised in regional environmental centres to meet the limits of the numerical property boundary map (NKRK) at the time of digitisation. In some environmental centres, these old decisions have also been corrected to reflect NKRK data.Material is currently produced by the ELY Centres’ Environment and Natural Resources Area in the Metsähallitus SATJ system. Since 1 September 2014, the material has been produced in full in Metsähallitus’ SATJ system. The material contains partly overlapping objects.Since 14 March 2017, the data have been automatically transferred from Metsähallitus to SYKE’s system, so the data is up-to-date. The changes are updated every night, including download packages and interface services. There is also a separate INSPIRE data product, which is updated twice a year. Does not include data on Åland. The outlines of the protection areas established on state owned lands are based on information from Metsähallitus. The protection reserves established on private lands are originally Digitised from the decision maps from the Ministry of the Environment or from Finnish Statutes. Decisions made after 1997 are Digitised in the ELY-Centres. They are Digitised to match the borders in numeric cadastral maps. In some ELY-Centres also older decisions are Digitised to match these cadastral maps. Currently the information for the dataset is produced by ELY-Centres’ responsibility area for Environment and natural resources. As of September 1 2014, the dataset has been produced in Metsähallitus’ SATJ data system. Dataset includes features which are partly overlapping. Dataset does not include data from autonomous Åland islands.
