It is concluded that the European approach is well designed for setting a standard with regard to data integration. In the case of Denmark it is concluded that the Spatial Data Infrastructure works well even if there is no official policy in this area. Also the Land Administration System (LAS) works well in the sense that it supports sustainable development through facilitating an efficient land market and an effective land-use management. Furthermore, the LAS are well tailored for a decentralized approach to landuse management placing the decision-making power at regional and especially local level.
