Cultural heritage
Protected heritage areas, conservation areas in settlements, listed and age-protected buildings, recorded archaeological sites and each region's heritage officer. The Cultural Heritage Agency must be consulted before heritage is disturbed.
Development and planning
What matters before building: drinking-water protection zones, avalanche hazard, contaminated soil, noise maps, post-glacial lava, recorded archaeological sites and planted forest.
