During the regular session of the National Assembly held on May 5, Suren Tovmasyan, Head of the Cadastre Committee, presented for discussion the legislative initiative on making amendments and addenda to the Law “On Spatial Data”. The draft law aims to develop and improve the national spatial data infrastructure.

It was noted that the development of the spatial data sector has been a focus of the Government. Provisions concerning the sector were included in the Government’s Programme as early as 2020, which led to the adoption of a relevant strategic programme.

Subsequently, legislative initiatives regulating the sector were developed, including the Law “On Spatial Data”.

According to Suren Tovmasyan, continuous efforts are currently underway to develop the spatial data infrastructure. The National Portal of the Republic of Armenia has been launched, while a new programme is being implemented with funding from the Asian Development Bank. The programme envisages the introduction of an electronic system with a more user-friendly and expanded set of tools.

The draft law proposes introducing tools to ensure the regular updating of information databases. It is envisaged to integrate spatial data into a unified system, ensuring their continuous and up-to-date maintenance.
