The issue of access to land and buildings within field works of environmental projects implemented in the public interest
Suchánek, Zdeněk
Various field activities are also carried out in the public interest, which concerns a few natural science disciplines. In environmental fields, on-site observation or sampling is the basic tool for collecting information, which is usually processed into records of registration databases. In the case of the contaminated site inventory project, the right to visit sites and collect information on site is not specified by law in the Czech Republic. On the contrary, the field worker must respect the legal requirements regarding the protection of property, privacy, and the processing of personal data. In the National Inventory of Contaminated Sites (NIKM) project, a field verification of conditions at known or suspected sites was one of the basic methods of updating and supplementing the registry database of contaminated sites. About 30,000 locations were included in the field verification. The project NIKM was completed by the end of 2021. Subsequently, in the presented case study, we evaluated the extent and types of problems that were associated with site visits and analyzed the reasons for not examining them "in situ". Since the entry of non-visiting and/or non-reconnaissance of the site cannot be completed in a separate section in the Contaminated Sites Registration System (SEKM) and sice there is no prescribed or required exact statement that could be used as a search / filtering parameter, a full-text search in tabular exports in EXCEL format was used for database analyses, according to various relevant statements, words, and parts of words. In the NIKM project, the share of 317 cases of non-visiting the location was only 1.1% of the total number of approved (evaluated and excluded) locations, and the share of 171 unvisited evaluated locations from the number of evaluated locations was 1.7%. At the same time, the number of 171 evaluated locations represents only 0.6% of all approved locations. These are values that can be considered acceptable from the point of view of the quality of the records of the entire SEKM3 database.
