Land and building registers, the principal source of spatial data, support policy-making activities at all levels of land management and undergo continuous change. The observed changes are prompted by a variety of political, legal, organizational, economic, social and technological factors. At present, land and building registers are amended and modernized to ensure the effective implementation of the INSPIRE Directive in Poland.
