It can also influence political decisions in defining significant cultural regions worth of protecting from industrial influence. In that way cultural landscape information allows citizens to influence the statewide development of cultural landscapes in a democratic way.

Such a collaborative approach allows governing authorities to manage and supervise official data, while public participation enables affordable information acquisition.
