Redistribution of the map with the Special Areas of Conservation in Flanders with respect to Directive 92/43/EEC (status 2013-01-18)

This is a redistribution of a subdataset of the data source 'Habitatrichtlijn(deel)gebieden' (Special Areas of Conservation), originally published by 'Agentschap Natuur en Bos' (Agency Nature and Forest) and distributed by 'Informatie Vlaanderen' under a CC-BY compatible license. It is redistributed for reproducible, analytical workflows on Flemish Natura 2000 habitats and regionally important biotopes. This dataset contains the delimitation of the Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) with respect to the EC Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) as approved by the Flemish government on 4 May 2001, ratified on 24 May 2002 and published in the Belgian Official Gazette on 17 August 2002. On 15 February 2008, the Flemish Government also proposed the water zone of the IJzer and Scheldt estuary to the Commission as additional areas of Community interest. After public investigation, the Flemish government decides on January 15, 2013 (published in the Belgian Official Gazette on February 4, 2013) to finalize the delimitation of the sub-area 11 'Boterakker' of the special protection zone BE2200037 'Uiterwaarden van de Limburgse Maas met Vijverbroek' as SAC in application of the Habitats Directive. This zone is now being proposed to the European Commission as an additional area of Community interest. The Habitats Directive aims to preserve biodiversity in the EU Member States and seeks to conserve and restore the natural habitats and the wild fauna and flora that are part of them. The most important measure is the designation of Special Areas of Conservation. This subdataset is a shapefile of geospatial polygons that delimit the (subareas of the) Special Areas of Conservation in the Flemish region with respect to the European directive 92/43/EEC, identical to the shapefile <code>ps_hbtrl_deel</code> in the original data source. The data source is produced, owned and administered by the Agency Nature and Forest of the Flemish government.本数据集为数据源“Habitatrichtlijn(deel)gebieden”（特别保护区）的子数据集再分发版本，原始数据由“Agentschap Natuur en Bos”（自然与森林署）发布，由“Informatie Vlaanderen”（弗拉芒信息局）依据知识共享署名（CC-BY）兼容许可进行分发。本数据集旨在支撑弗拉芒地区Natura 2000生境及区域重要生物群落生境的可复现分析工作流。本数据集包含符合欧盟《生境指令》（EC Habitats Directive, 92/43/EEC）的特别保护区（Special Areas of Conservation, SAC）划定范围，该范围于2001年5月4日经弗拉芒政府批准，2002年5月24日完成核准，并于2002年8月17日刊登于比利时官方公报。2008年2月15日，弗拉芒政府还将伊泽尔河（IJzer）与斯海尔德河（Scheldt）河口的水域区域提议为欧盟共同体利益新增区域。经公众调查评议后，弗拉芒政府于2013年1月15日作出最终决定（2013年2月4日刊登于比利时官方公报），将特别保护区域BE2200037“林堡省默兹河漫滩与维弗布鲁克（Vijverbroek）”的子区域11“Boterakker”划定为符合《生境指令》的特别保护区。该区域目前已被正式提议作为欧盟共同体利益新增区域提交至欧洲委员会。《生境指令》的核心目标是保护欧盟成员国的生物多样性，致力于保护并恢复其自然生境及其中的野生动植物种群，而划定特别保护区是其最重要的举措之一。本子数据集为地理空间多边形shapefile，用于划定弗拉芒地区符合欧盟92/43/EEC指令的特别保护区（及其子区域），与原始数据源中的<code>ps_hbtrl_deel</code> shapefile完全一致。该数据源由弗拉芒政府自然与森林署制作、持有并负责管理。
