Urban areas are aerial photographed with higher resolution

The plan is to photograph selected areas with a resolution of 0.15 m / pixel in one zone per year. All municipalities in these zones get their central town or other selected area aerial photographed with a higher resolution compared to the areas outside.

Zone 1: Årjäng, Forshaga, Arvika, Charlottenberg, Sunne, Filipstad, Torsby, Munkfors, Hagfors, Hällefors, Malung, Vansbro, Älvdalen

Zone 2: Edsbyn, Ljusdal, Sveg, Svenstavik, Bräcke , Hammarstrand, Åre, Östersund, Krokom, Ström sund, Dorotea, Åsele, Ånge

Zone 3: Vilhelmina, Lycksele, Vindeln, Storuman, Malå, Norsjö , Sorsele, Arvidsjaur, Arjeplog

Zone 4: Jokkmokk, Överkalix, Övertorneå, Gällivare, Pajala, Kiruna

2023 aerial photography begins with zone 2 and then the zones in order 3 2024, 4 2025 and 1 2026. Then we start again with zone 2 2027.

Before each year, the municipalities that are within the current zone, for future aerial photography, can choose which urban area / area which they want to have aerial photographed in cases where they want an area other than the central town.

If the municipality does not announce which area they want to choose before June 30th, before the respective aerial photography season, the municipality's central town will be photographed. The area that can be selected may have a maximum spread of four contiguous index panes of five kilometers.
