Hunting ground:

The basis is a map with:

• orthophoto (via local data supplier)
• cadastral data (via local cadastral office)
• or optional a google-earth image

Following visualization are possible constitutive on the basis of that map:

• hunt frontiers (land register)
• hunting kit with data symbols like
• cratch
• raised hides
• base hides
• shooting boxes
• etc.
• observations with GPS supported involvement of photos/videos
• firings broken down into
• years
• wild species
• male/female
• neighbours with agreements
• hunter emergency ways
• other agreements

Hardware requirements:
GPS (with EGNOS-correction signal) positional accuracy <1-2 meter, PC/Notebook with at least 120 MB free hard-disk storage and at least 512 MB RAM (random access memory).

Software requirements:
PROGIS WinGIS standard  incl. IDB
GPS/Text Import

Further application solutions

Following further applications can be offered for huntership and other user groups in rural areas:

• GIS application for regional professional hunters
• including data aggregation from cantons
• GIS application for local professional hunters
• including data aggregation from gamekeeper rings
• and data transfer to regional professional hunter
• GIS application for gamekeeper managers
• including data aggregation from hunting grounds
• and data transfer to local professional hunter
• GIS application for hunting grounds/legal hunters
• and data transfer to gamekeeper manager

The applications should integrate all current necessary lists and messages (firing plan, firing list, other messages), and also create thematic analyses automatically combined with GIS, e.g.:

• colouring according to wild species at firing plan
• colouring according to declared wild density/ha
• per wild species
• colouring according to firing per ha
• per wild species
• colouring according to game bite situation
• intermediate messages with fullfilled firing in % etc.

The database and GIS connection enables to define any thematic maps and to analyse them in the following.

The following is possible for hunting grounds with specific hunting ground applications: to enter cartographically the hunting ground, to localize firings, to connect simple GPS-units (e.g. for DGPS documentation with positional accuracy of 1-2m) for automatically gathering of hunting walks and distinctions in a cartographic way.     

The detailed adaption of regional specifications has to be done with the respective huntership by creating a functional specification.
