The map service contains rights (e.g. rights of way and road rights) and common facilities (e.g. road associations, water and sewage facilities, bathing places) that are linked to a specific property. The map provides a good overview of the existence and extent of rights of way, which are interesting in connection with different types of projects.
The map layer provides a good overview of the plans and land-use regulations that apply to a particular area or property, such as detailed plans, subdivision plans, building plans, etc.
The forest owner map shows Sweden's major forest owners at national level and gives you a quick overview of their holdings. The map is suitable for general planning and is useful for those who:
- want an overview of the holdings of the major forest owners (often the Swedish state or forest companies)
- want to know which large forest owners are in your area of interest
- are a timber buyer for the private market - you can see at an early stage which areas the large forest owners own
The forest owner map is the result of careful analysis of property boundaries and ownership information from the land registry, based on properties owned by legal entities with a holding of at least 1000 ha of forest. The map is updated once a year and can be delivered both as a map service and a file delivery.
For accurate search of affected landowners on individual properties for, for example, mailing or other contact, we recommendMetria FastighetSök or Metria Fastighetsuttag for the highest timeliness and reliability.

The position of property boundaries on the map may look very definite and obvious, but in fact they have a positional uncertainty that can be both large and small, depending on the accuracy with which they are measured. When working in the field, questions can arise that sometimes require pure detective investigations to bring clarity.
Metria makes it easier for you by offering a separate map layer with the positional uncertainty of the property boundaries so that you know what margins your project needs. If needed, you can also get in-depth property information.
Land use changes usually require the permission of both the authorities and those affected. An aerial photograph or a standard background map does not usually show everything in a given study or project area. If the map contains sufficient information, it is possible to prioritize the placement of infrastructure. This may involve, for example, connecting or avoiding impacts on properties where there are dwellings, permanent housing, holiday homes or other buildings. It can also be important to understand whether a project intersects with other activities, especially before a consultation process. Metria is happy to help you package the information you need to make safer decisions.
When developing infrastructure such as electricity networks, fiber, water, sewage and district heating, excavation is of interest. Discovering bedrock or encountering areas of excessive soil moisture can delay, cost and, in the worst case, stop a project. Therefore, it is important to identify in advance routes with suitable soil depth, free from contamination and without other obstacles. Information showing whether it is an area of high ecological status and species richness or whether it is full of invasive species is also important .
At Metria, we help you as a project manager to ensure that you have the right data. If you are a GIS specialist and want to perform more advanced analyses, we can also help you avoid the sometimes laborious work of identifying and maintaining all the data.
Sveaskog gets high quality and delivery reliability with Metria Maps
With its three million hectares, state-owned Sveaskog is Sweden's largest forest owner. In order to conduct extensive, sustainable and efficient forestry, large amounts of geodata of various types are required. Sveaskog meets the entire organization's need for updated information in an efficient way with the map service Metria Maps.
Our own data combined with external geodata is a prerequisite for making the decisions required for sustainable and efficient forestry. We manage large areas and it is important to be able to make an accurate assessment in the field. Geodata provides an overview and understanding of what is in and around an area even before we visit the site.
There are many suppliers who can deliver expertise and solutions on the client side, but when it comes to storing and delivering geodata, the range is more limited. It feels safe that Metria sees this as its main task.
Mattias Tengbrand is a system administrator in the IT department at Sveaskog in Östersund. He is responsible for ensuring that the organization has access to the geographical information (geodata) they need.
