1. Target: all collaborative organizations

3. SURVEYS

Assessment of presenting photographs

“Positive” “Complicated”

“In general, very good. In particular, in parcels located in areaswithout coverage the geolocation is not well kept”

“Very good idea”

7

“We have not tried it, but it's interesting”

“It's a very good idea, but we have not used it. Farmers have not

made the photos and we could not move to the field to do them”

“We haven’t used it, we have spread”

1. Target: all collaborative organizations

“It would be more agile if the photo could be sent directly via an App.

“For big parcels, a maximum 5 photos it’s not enough”

“It allows to clarify some incidents(change of use after the orthophoto). Useful tool also from the

point of view of DARP, which can save you from doing it”

“The system was designed to get the photos directly from the farmer and not always can do it correctly”

Assessment of presenting photographs

1. Target: all collaborative organizations

3. SURVEYS

Improvement proposals

“In addition to the confirmation of receipt, it would be positive to know if the change was accepted or not and the reason if is

not approved”

“Deadlines for sending should be expanded. Agricultural activities take place throughout the year and the aid depends on maintenance

of conditions for ex. until harvested”

“Direct training to the farmer of these subjects needed”

“More time to submit or possibility to present throughout all the year (always open)”

“To create an App”

“To justify the cases of double harvest”

Other applications than LPIS update

“Wildlife damage, agrochemical inspection, non-start visits (2nd pillar investments aids), forest breaks,...”

“Everything that is a tool that prevents displacement to justify anything, is welcome”

“For clarification or graphic supplements, of the VCS protein aid, greening and basic payment”

“Modification coefients of grass, ...(pro-rata)”

“For any requirement of the administration that must be checked on the

spot”

2. Target: farmers/collaborative organizations that have sent photos

3. SURVEYS 13

“It should be easier when an applicant wants to makedifferent modifications, grouping them by files. At thesame time, it should be easier to connect the parcel tothe photograph when it is not done directly on field”

“It is not clear that the photograph is sent. We would like DARP to send an answer to each sending of photos indicating if

the photos are valid to resolve the procedure”

Considerations/improvement proposals

“It would be an important improvement to extend the period to send the photos”

“The future App must have a very flat operation, which is intuitive. If we make it too

complicated, ... little future”

3. Target: inspectors who have used the photos

3. SURVEYS 14

Have the geotagged sent from the beneficiaries been useful?

YesNo

Other useful applications apart from the LPIS update

• Abandoned land• For vineyard procedures (pull out, new plantations)• Themes of recovery of pastures, 2nd pillar commitments...• Greening, with general photo and a macro

3. Target: inspectors who have used the photos

3. SURVEYS 15

“Need to work more with the use of this model to be able to extract a more efficient conclusion”

“An acumulative repository should be done, includindall the years (don’t know if it is already planned)”

“Need to have the the orientation in some way, for example, adding an icon in the GIS_system, an arrow

indicating the orientation”
