Disclamer

The data published on PIS is of an informative nature, except for the data from the collection of spatial acts and the database on the construction of facilities. Informative nature means that the PIS administrator does not assume any responsibility for the correctness and completeness of the data and that only the data and texts of the acts published in the said databases are legally valid. Spatial acts are published in the official gazette by publishing the textual part and the graphic part by indicating the identification number under which it is fully published on PIS. Spatial acts are stored in an analogue form at the draftsperson’s headquarters, and in digital form on PIS and at the draftsperson’s headquarters. In the event of differences between the analogue or digital form of the spatial plan, the version published in the official gazette shall be deemed valid. If differences appear in the graphic part of the spatial implementation act or accompanying material, the version published on PIS shall be deemed valid.

Although we act with the utmost care in collecting the information we publish on PIS and take steps to ensure its correctness and timeliness, our criminal and civil liability for factual and legal errors in the information is completely excluded and we are not responsible for any direct or indirect damage or inconvenience which could arise to the user due to the use of any incorrect or inaccurate information that might be found on PIS.

We recommend that the user checks the data with the competent authority or in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia if  they intend to base an important or even irreparable decision on the data published on our pages.

In no event shall we be liable to any user for any direct or indirect damage or inconvenience (loss of profit, business risk, loss of software or other data equipment) that may occur to the user due to technical problems or an inability to use PIS or connections located thereon.

PIS contains links to other websites of public administration bodies and other legal entities for which we do not accept any responsibility for the content, form and changes made to these pages, as well as for their possible policy towards website visitors. These contents are not subject to these terms of use and disclaimer.

The contents of the disclaimer may be changed at any time without prior notice and the consent of the users.

Qality of spatial data

Spatial data that is available for use through PIS graphic insights is data sourced from collections of spatial acts and databases on the construction of facilities, as well as data that has been taken over on PIS from the collections of other administrators.

Data on the areas of state spatial planning acts is taken from the documentation prepared in the preparation and implementation procedures. They are determined on the basis of cadastral and topographic data of different levels of accuracy and shown on regulatory and cadastral situations of different criteria. Where the parcel boundary coincides with the boundary of the area, it assumes the positional accuracy of the land cadastre. Where the boundaries do not coincide, the positional accuracy of the area boundary is determined on the basis of the assessment of the responsible spatial planner and the responsible surveyor.

Data on the intended use of space is taken from the documentation prepared in its preparation and implementation procedures. An individual municipality is responsible for the substantive interpretation of this data. The boundaries of land use are originally determined in accordance with data of different levels of accuracy (cadastral and topographic data, data on actual land use from the records of actual use of agricultural and forest land, data on legal regimes and orthophotos) and shown on the land cadastre at a scale of 1:  5000. The positional accuracy of the boundaries depends on the accuracy of the data or the bases on which they were determined.

Data from the database on the construction of facilities is submitted on PIS by the competent administrative authorities. Through PIS services, building and use permits are available which became final after 1 June 2015 and have a known spatial location, as well as applications for the start of construction and pre-decree issued.
