Subsidy Control
Rural Support Service in Latvia uses ArcGIS for
its Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS)
project. The project provides a basic
infrastructure to accumulate the information
on more than 300,000 field parcels located in
Latvia. LPIS creates field parcels, records all
changes after data editing, and automatically
prints maps without any constraints, thereby
providing agency employees and agricultural
workers with updated information about
specific parcels of land. LPIS works together
with the European Union’s Integrated
Administration and Control System financial
support and calculation system.

Weed Management
• San Luis Valley complies with
Colorado state legislation that
mandates a county by county
determination of the scope of the
state’s noxious weeds.
• Counties are required to find,
identify, and catalog noxious weeds.
• Once weeds are located and
identified, a few simple clicks of the
unit’s keys enter all the pertinent
information.
• Then, with the help of satellite
positioning, the exact spot is logged
in just a few seconds. There is
virtually no post processing of raw
data for the file collection process.

to current, local, and relevant land and water data.
Most recent projects that have used information
from the NLWIS site include an
