Hillsides and slopes

In order to take the difficult production and living conditions in agriculture adequately into consideration, slope subsidies have been established for areas eligible for direct payments. A slopes dataset has been created for general direct payments (GeoIV 152.1; DSO Art. 43) and a dataset for vineyards on slopes for viticulture payments (GeoIV 152.2; DSO Art. 45). There are different categories of slope gradient. The slopes dataset is part of the data used to calculate the agricultural direct payments on the basis of a geographic information system (GIS). Standardised calculations have been produced for the whole of Switzerland. The production is based on the "SwissAlti3D" terrain model from swisstopo. A distinction is made between the following slope gradient categories: <18; 18-35; 35-50; >50 percent. Sloping areas less than 100 square metres in size were not taken into consideration.

Boundaries of agricultural zones in Switzerland

The official geodatabase of the agricultural zones and regions consists of six agricultural production zones and the summer pasture region and forms the agricultural production register. The register records difficult production and living conditions, which must be taken adequately into consideration in the application of the Agriculture Act. The legal basis can be found in Article 4 of the Agriculture Act (SR 910.1) and in the Ordinance on the agricultural production register and the definition of zones (SR 912.1). Various measures relating to the Agriculture Act are based on the division into zones. For example, some of the direct payments to the agricultural industry differ depending on the zone.
Digital soil suitability map of Switzerland - Water storage capacity

The term refers to water which is retained in the soil by tension forces and can easily be taken up by plants (soil moisture tension 0.1 - 1 Atm). Estimates show that there is likely to be 1 mm of easily available water (soil moisture tension 0.1 - 1 Atm) for each 1 cm of physiological root penetration depth. The physiological root penetration depth is determined by the entire layer that can be penetrated by roots, with deductions for stones and large cavities in sand and gravel soils, together with deductions for compact structures and soil horizons with a low oxygen content. (Details: Soil suitability map of Switzerland, March 1980).
Digital soil suitability map of Switzerland - Cultivated land

On the soil suitability map, each mapping unit has a code consisting of an uppercase letter and a number. The letters stand for 25 different physiographical units. The numbers represent different elements of the landscape, categorised by bedrock, slope and gradient. Each mapping unit also corresponds to one or more soil types. There are 144 mapping units in total. They are grouped together into 18 different coloured categories on the map from the perspective of soil suitability. Agricultural criteria have primarily been used for this classification.
Register of designations of origin (PDO) and geographical indications (PGI) - spirits

The register of designations of origin (PDO) and geographical indications (PGI) allows the region names and traditional designations of agricultural products to be protected (with the exception of wine), where the quality and the main characteristics of the products are determined by their geographical origin. If a name is protected, it can only be used by producers in the specified geographical region, who must comply with a detailed requirements specification. The purpose of protecting certain designations of agricultural products is to prevent consumers from being exposed to fraud and, in the interests of farmers, to stop unfair competition relating to the use of the designations. The rules in this area allow for the mutual recognition of quality products by Switzerland and the European Union. There are four categories: cheese, meat products, products of plant origin and spirits. The register of designations of origin currently contains around 30 different products and new ones are frequently being added.
Mountain products

Um die Bezeichnung „Bergprodukt“ (z.B. Bergkäse) verwenden zu können, müssen die Rohstoffe aus dem Berggebiet oder dem Sömmerungsgebiet stammen und in einer Gemeinde verarbeitet werden, die ganz oder teilweise im Berg- oder im Sömmerungsgebiet liegt.Die Verarbeitung folgender Produkte darf auch ausserhalb des Berg- und Sömmerungsgebiets stattfinden: genussfertige Milch; genussfertiger Rahm; Reifung der Käse sowie die Schlachtung und Zerlegung der Tiere. Die Bezeichnung „Berg“ darf auch in der Kennzeichnung eines aus mehreren Zutaten zusammengesetzten Lebensmit-tels verwendet werden, auch wenn das Lebensmittel selbst die Anforderungen für die Verwendung der Bezeichnung „Berg“ nicht erfüllt. Die Bezeichnung „Berg“ darf sich ausschliesslich auf die betreffenden Zutaten beziehen (z.B. „Jogurt aus Bergmilch“). (SR 910.19)
Viticulture on slopes

In order to take the difficult production and living conditions in agriculture into adequate consideration, slope subsidies have been established for areas eligible for direct payments. A slopes dataset has been created for general direct payments (GeoIV 152.1; DSO Art. 43) and a dataset for vineyards on slopes for viticulture payments (GeoIV 152.2; DSO Art. 45). There are different categories of slope gradient. The vineyards on slopes dataset is part of the data used to calculate the agricultural direct payments on the basis of a geographic information system (GIS). Standardised calculations have been produced for the whole of Switzerland. The production is based on the "SwissAlti3D" terrain model from swisstopo. A distinction is made between the following slope gradient categories: <30; 30-50; >50 percent. Sloping areas less than 100 square metres in size were not taken into consideration.

Flow-path map for erosion risk

The flow-path map shows the new calculated flow paths for surface runoff (L-factor of the universal soil loss equation or of the erosion risk map) on the agriculturally productive areas within the field blocks. The flow paths are based on theSwissALTI3D terrain model and multiple-flow algorithms. They illustrate the areas where the topography would cause the water to collect and run off. The darker the colour, the greater the possible runoff levels, and hence also the erosion risk. This map does a good job of illustrating the erosion risk for linear erosion in slope depressions (thalweg erosion) and possible damage outside of the field block (off-site damage), e.g. on roads and in bodies of water.
Hanglagen Abschwemmung

Der Datensatz Hanglagen Abschwemmung dient dazu, die Flächen zu bestimmen, auf welchen Massnahmen gegen Abschwemmung zu ergreifen sind. Die Massnahmen gegen Abschwemmung richten sich nach dem ÖLN gemäss DZV Anhang 1 Ziffer 6.1a.4 und nach den Weisungen der Zulassungsstelle Pflanzenschutzmittel des Bundesamtes für Lebensmittelsicherheit und Veterinärwese betreffend die Massnahmen zur Reduktion der Risiken bei der Anwendung von Pflanzenschutzmitteln. Der Datensatz wurde gesamtschweizerisch einheitlich berechnet. Die Produktion beruht auf dem digitalen Höhenmodell DHM25 (Maschenweite 25m) von swisstopo. Folgende Hangneigungsklassen wurden unterschieden: <=2 Prozent; >2 Prozent.
Register of designations of origin (PDO) and geographical indications (PGI) - meat products

The register of designations of origin (PDO) and geographical indications (PGI) allows the region names and traditional designations of agricultural products to be protected (with the exception of wine), where the quality and the main characteristics of the products are determined by their geographical origin. If a name is protected, it can only be used by producers in the specified geographical region, who must comply with a detailed requirements specification. The purpose of protecting certain designations of agricultural products is to prevent consumers from being exposed to fraud and, in the interests of farmers, to stop unfair competition relating to the use of the designations.

The register of designations of origin currently contains around 30 different products and new ones are frequently being added.
Water connection map, direct and indirect, probability of connection

A map has also been created as a supplement to the water connection map which distinguishes between direct and indirect connections. Areas with a direct connection to a body of water are located next to it or connected to it by means of temporary ditches or drains. Surface runoff can also reach the body of water indirectly via manholes and gullies in the road drainage system. This information enables more targeted measures to be planned to counteract sediment input into bodies of water. There are six categories of probability of a connection between agricultural land and bodies of water.

Landwirtschaftliche Nutzungsflächen Schweiz

Der Geodatensatz «landwirtschaftliche Nutzungsflächen» stellt die räumliche Lage der Kulturflächen wie Wiesen, Weiden und Ackerflächen der Schweiz dar und wird jährlich aktualisiert. Er beinhaltet die landwirtschaftlich genutzten Flächen gemäss landwirtschaftlicher Begriffsverordnung (LBV), Direktzahlungsverordnung (DZV) und der daraus abgeleiteten Definitionen (inkl. Codierung) der Nutzungen durch den Bund und die Kantone. Der Datensatz basiert auf den in Zuständigkeit der Kantone erstellten Geobasisdatensätze des Bundesrechts «Landwirtschaftliche Kulturflächen» (GeoIV, Anhang 1, Identifikator 153). Die Originaldaten befinden sich auf geodienste.ch. Die Verfügbarkeit der Daten beruht auf den kantonalen Nutzungsbedingungen.
Water connection map, probability of connection

The potential water connection map shows areas in a worst case scenario (permanent fallow land, no buffer strips or construction measures) where, if the land is not cultivated in a suitable way, there is a significant risk of sediment input into bodies of water. Therefore, it helps with the targeted planning of measures to protect the bodies of water. The model for identifying the connection between bodies of water and agricultural areas that are at potential risk of erosion is based on the erosion risk map 2. The water connection model allows the probability of a connection to a body of water to be calculated for every cell in the grid on the erosion risk map 2. In order to move from potential to actual water connections, information is needed about the use of the areas that are at risk and about possible measures to reduce runoff. This information must be obtained in the field.
Register of designations of origin (PDO) and geographical indications (PGI) - products of plant origin

Erosion risk map for arable land, with average soil erosion in tonnes /(ha*year)

Erosion risk map for arable land, with average soil erosion in tonnes /(ha*year) (Federal Office for Agriculture) Erosion risk map for arable land in Switzerland in a 2x2-metre grid based on SwissALTI3D and cantonal surface-area data on arable land (status 2021). The map shows the long-term average potential soil erosion in tonnes per hectare and year, calculated on the basis of bare fallow (erosion which theoretically could occur if the soil were permanently bare). Shades of green, yellow and red mean a slight, average and high risk of erosion, respectively. The values calculated in the model are consistently much higher than in actual fact (by around a factor of 10), since soil tillage and management (C-factor) were excluded and incorporated in the calculation as a constant with the value of 1. Calculating the erosion risk with multiple-flow algorithms allows us to illustrate the structure of the terrain in great detail – e.g. the shape of basins or of steep transverse slopes – and hence e.g. also to identify the risk of thalweg erosion. This is shown in detail in the flow-path map (which see). Field blocks (see field-block map) constitute the basis of the spatial calculation.
Field block map for erosion risk

Field blocks are coherent, agriculturally productive areas surrounded by relatively stable external boundaries that can be identified in the field (e.g. forest, roads, built-up areas, bodies of water, ditches). The topographic landscape model TLM3D forms the basis for their calculation. A field block therefore constitutes a closed hydrological catchment area in which all of the pixels can be hydrologically connected, and can thus have an influence on one another in terms of erosion. Other field blocks or areas outside of a field block cannot influence water flows or erosion within a field block in the model. The inflow of water from outside is therefore not possible in the model. The minimum size of a field block is set at 2500 square metres. The best way for the responsible authorities to monitor erosion on arable land is to inspect field blocks in the priority regions. The erosion risk must be recalculated if the size of the field block changes, e.g. if new tracks are built or hedges are planted or removed.
Alpine products

Um die Bezeichnung „Alpprodukt“ (z.B. Alpkäse) verwenden zu können, müssen die Rohstoffe aus dem Sömmerungsgebiet stammen und auch dort verarbeitet werden. Die Verarbeitung folgender Produkte darf auch ausserhalb des Sömmerungsgebiets stattfinden: genussfertige Milch; genussfertiger Rahm; Reifung der Käse sowie die Schlachtung und Zerlegung der Tiere. Die Bezeichnung „Alp“ darf auch in der Kennzeichnung eines aus mehreren Zutaten zusammengesetzten Lebensmittels verwendet werden, auch wenn das Lebensmittel selbst die Anforderungen für die Verwendung der Bezeichnung „Alp“ nicht erfüllt. Die Bezeichnung „Alp“ darf sich ausschliesslich auf die betreffenden Zutaten beziehen (z.B. „Jogurt aus Alpmilch“) (SR 910.19).

Digital soil suitability map of Switzerland - Nutrient storage capacity

In a similar way to water storage capacity, the aim is to specify how many equivalents of cations can be stored in the soil. The stored milliequivalents of cations were converted on the basis of a column of soil with a surface area of 1cm2 and a height corresponding to the physiological root penetration depth. This gave the milliequivalents (mEq) of cations per cm2. (Details: Soil suitability map of Switzerland, March 1980).
Large-scale photovoltaic systems in Switzerland

Depending on their location and orientation, high-alpine photovoltaic systems can generate more electricity per installed kilowatt of power in the winter months than comparable systems in the lowlands. This is because the radiation conditions are better (thinner atmosphere, less fog) and because the sunlight is reflected by the snow (known as the albedo effect). This dataset contains all information on planned or realised large-scale photovoltaic installations that have been reported to the SFOE.
Civil and military aerodromes

Aerodromes are facilities defined in the Sectoral aviation infrastructure plan as intended for aircraft take-off and landing. The official list of aerodromes and heliports authorized by the FOCA has been published under point AD 1.3 of the Swiss Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP). The conditions for using the facilities are part of Swiss aviation publications and may be obtained from the AIP and VFR Manual. Please note: This is not an official aeronautical data publication. The information provided does not necessarily reflect the latest operational data.
UAS Awareness Zones Switzerland

The UAS Awareness Map indicates areas of authorised unmanned aircraft (UAS) operations. The purpose of the publication of such areas is to enhance situational awareness for manned aviation and provide relevant contact information. Consulting this information from the UAS Awareness Map doesn’t change the safety of your flight and is not a requirement. <br></br> The UAS Awareness Map depicts selected UAS operations only, in particular permanent or regularly recurring operations and activities in locally identified hotspot areas, which do not qualify for official aeronautical information publication. <br></br> Important note: <ul> <li>UAS operator/remote pilot remain fully responsible for airspace monitoring and for ensuring separation from manned aircraft.

Swiss air navigation obstacle data

Air navigation obstacle data are data on the obstacles defined in Article 2 letter k of the Ordinance of 23 November 1994 on Aviation Infrastructure (VIL, SR 748.131.1). Air navigation obstacles are structures and installations (such as antennas, buildings, cables, cranes, cableways, power lines, wind turbines) and vegetation that can hamper, endanger or prevent the operation of aircraft or of air navigation systems. The data are gathered as part of the authorisation requirement under Article 63 VIL, and the registration requirement under Art. 65a VIL. With the exception of vegetation, the present data set includes all permanent and temporary air navigation obstacles with a height of 25 meters or more outside built-up areas (or 40 meters or more in the case of mobile cranes), and in built-up areas, obstacles with a height of 60 meters or more. Safety-relevant obstacles in the vicinity of airfields below 25 / 60 meters are shown in the layer "Aerodrome obstacles < 25 / 60 m".
SORA - Map for intrinsic ground risk

European unmanned aircraft regulation (EU) 2019/947 Article 11 requires a SORA (Specific Operational Risk Assessment) to be performed for flights which fit into the Specific category of UAS. One part of this risk assessment is to assess the risk to overflown uninvolved people and this map is tailored for the use in this risk assessment methodology. The map shows the estimated average population density, derived from data on the population (STATPOP) and employment (STATENT) provided by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO). In addition, where no swiss data was available, information from the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) of the Euroean Commission was used. The data should be used as a guideline, meaning that discrepancies can be argued accordingly by the applicant in the SORA risk assessment. The extent of the map is anywhere the Federal Office of Civil Aviation has authority to grant UAS authorizations which is within Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Further, the data extends 5 km beyond the Swiss border into the surrounding countries to allow a proper fly-away risk assesment of flights very close to the borders. The map is provided with a resolution of 100m or 200m, depending on the flight altitude.
Cadastre of obstacle limitation surfaces

Obstacle limitation surfaces are a series of three-dimensional surfaces that delimit the obstacle-free airspace generally required for flight safety. Objects that penetrate these limitation surfaces are referred to as aeronautical obstacles. The aim is to protect the airspace from obstacles so that safe flight operations can be guaranteed. The obstacle limitation surfaces cadastre (OLS) is an official determination of the obstacle limitation surfaces for an airfield, an air traffic control facility or a flight path. The Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) maintains this cadastre for civil installations. This maps all types of three-dimensional obstacle limitation surfaces in accordance with ICAO Annex 14 in a structured and unambiguous manner. The layer only contains data that is approved and conforms to the model.
