ECDDA polygon dataset. Geographical extent covers covers Europe, Russia, Central Asia, Greenland, French DOM-TOM & COM. Polygon data of nationally designated areas.

The European inventory of Nationally designated areas (CDDA) holds information about designated areas and their designation types, which directly or indirectly create protected areas. The inventory is delivered by the Eionet partnership countries as spatial and tabular information. The inventory began in 1995 under the CORINE programme of the European Commission. The CDDA is now an agreed annual Eionet core data flow maintained by the European Environment Agency (EEA) with support from the European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity (ETC/BD). The dataset is used by the EEA and e.g. the UNEP-WCMC for their main European and global assessments, products and services. The CDDA is the official source of protected area information from the 39 European countries to the World Database of Protected Areas (WDPA). The CDDA data can be queried online in the European Nature Information System (EUNIS). Geographical coverage of GIS vector boundary data: Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Kosovo under UNSC Resolution 1244/99, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, North Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and United Kingdom. The dataset ("CDDA_2019_v01_internal") includes the entire geographical coverage including nationally designated areas in overseas entities and is provided in GDB and GPKG formats. NOTE: EEA does not have permission to distribute some or all sites reported by Estonia, Finland, Ireland and Turkey. Therefore, this data set is available only for internal use of the European Environment Agency. The public version dataset is available with the title "Nationally designated areas (CDDA) polygons for public access - version 17, June 2019", which is derived from this dataset.

The Common Database on Designated Areas (CDDA) is more commonly known as Nationally designated areas. The inventory began in 1995 under the CORINE programme of the European Commission. It is now one of the agreed Eionet priority data flows maintained by EEA with support from the European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity. It is a result of an annual data flow through Eionet countries. The EEA publishes the data set and makes it available to the World Database of Protected Areas (WDPA). The CDDA data can also be queried online in the European Nature Information System (EUNIS).

Short resume in English: Dataset contains areas is protected by the law - Nature protection act §51. Areas is appointed by the minister. https://www.retsinformation.dk/Forms/R0710.aspx?id=207969 Danish. Temaet omfatter lokaliteter, som er fredet ved bekendtgørelse udstedt af den minister, der på det givne tidspunkt var ansvarlig for naturfrednings-/naturbeskyttelsesområdet. I dag findes bestemmelsen i naturbeskyttelseslovens § 51. Det følger af denne bestemmelse, at bekendtgørelse kan udstedes for statsejede arealer samt på søterritoriet og fiskeriterritoriet. Disse bekendtgørelser administreres af Naturstyrelsen og vedrører ikke fredningsnævnenes myndighedsområde. Under tidligere udgaver af naturfredningslovgivningen var det tillige muligt at udstede fredningsbekendtgørelser for arter eller samfund af planter eller dyr, samt for geologiske dannelser – sådanne bekendtgørelser findes også i laget. Objekterne i temaet linker til en kopi af den pågældende bekendtgørelse. Det bemærkes, at den geografiske information (polygonerne) er af svingende kvalitet og er af retningsgivende karakter.

Short English resume: The dataset contains areas protected by law - The Nature Protection act. capter 6 https://www.retsinformation.dk/Forms/R0710.aspx?id=207969 Danish: Naturbeskyttelsesloven, kapitel 6 (§§33-51). Temaet indeholder arealer eller lokaliteter, som er fredet ved gennemførelse af en fredningssag efter bestemmelserne i naturbeskyttelseslovens kapitel 6 (eller ældre naturfredningslove), samt i visse tilfælde fredninger af ældre dato gennemført ved fx tinglyst deklaration. Temaet består af objekter som er tilknyttet et reg.nr. (Tematekst 2), der bruges som identifikation i relation til det Centrale Fredningsregister. For de fleste objekter er der et link videre til scannede fredningsafgørelser og dispensationer. Dette link findes i bunden af objekt informationsboksen. Det skal understreges at den geografiske information kun kan betragtes som retningsgivende, idet det alene er fredningsafgørelserne der er juridisk gældende, og den geografiske information (fredningspolygonerne) er af svingende kvalitet og kan være fejlbehæftet. Læs mere om datagrundlaget på Miljøstyrelsens hjemmeside for fredninger og Det Centrale Fredningsregister. Temaet er under løbende kvalitetssikring og opdatering i dialog med aktører på fredningsområdet.

EEA does not have permission to distribute some or all sites reported by Estonia, Finland, Ireland and Turkey. The public version dataset is available with the title "Nationally designated areas (CDDA) for public access - version 18, May 2020", which is derived from this dataset. Two versions of the dataset are provided. The full dataset ("CDDA_2020_v01_internal") includes the entire geographical coverage including nationally designated areas in overseas entities. The "CDDA_2020_v01_internal_EuropeEPSG3035" version includes only continental Europe, i.e. excludes the overseas entities. Both versions are provided in GDB and GPKG formats. The dataset is accompanied by the following tabular data: CDDA_2020_v01_internal_DesignatedArea.csv, which includes information on all the nationally designated sites and designated boundaries; and CDDA_2020_v01_public_DesignationType.csv, which contains information about designation types and the national and international legislative instruments, which directly or indirectly create protected designated areas in Europe.
