  1. SPATIAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IN THE 21ST CENTURY Robert W. Foster, Matt Higgins and Jes RyttersgaardInternational Federation of Surveyors 7th UNRCC for the Americas Robert W. Foster, President of FIG

  2. Contents • FIG • Introduction to Spatial Information • Spatial Data Infrastructure • Technological Developments • Data Collection • Final Remarks 7th UNRCC for the Americas Robert W. Foster, President of FIG

  3. International Federation of Surveyors • Fédération Internationale des Géomètres • UN/ECOSOC recognised NGO • Only international body representing all surveying disciplines • Member associations in 79 countries representing more than 230,000 surveyors • Totally over 100 countries represented 7th UNRCC for the Americas Robert W. Foster, President of FIG

  4. Introduction to Spatial Information • transportation infrastructure in a region • health monitoring programmes • cadastre projects • land management • spatial planning • socio-economic issues • monitoring of environmental issues • environmental impact assessment • conservation projects • natural resource management 7th UNRCC for the Americas Robert W. Foster, President of FIG

  5. National Spatial Data Infrastructure • Experiences • NSDI is an Asset for all Nations in general in line with other infrastructure assets such as roads, telecommunication networks etc. • Establishing of a NSDI demands co-operation between the public and the private sectors and amongst the variety of professions involved. • NSDI can proceed even if a formal policy document does not exist. It is possible to proceed with certain operational level activities while the policy is being formulated.   • Every NSDI will be different, depending on cultural needs, social evolution, economic reality and national ambitions. 7th UNRCC for the Americas Robert W. Foster, President of FIG

  6. National Spatial Data Infrastructure • Visions • Cadastral, topographic and thematic data sets should adopt the same overarching philosophy and data model. • To be able to offer the different users the full potential of spatial information the full range of spatial data, should be made accessible. • Alternative possibilities for the presentation and interpretations of spatial information should be considered. • The commercial and contractual frameworks for co-operation and the associated business models will be key issues in the further development of NSDI. 7th UNRCC for the Americas Robert W. Foster, President of FIG

  7. Technological Developments • Mass-produced hardware and standard software • Web-GIS in which the users handle geographic information using standard web browsers is a reality • Satellite positioning • Mobile mapping systems • Integration of total stations and real time satellite positioning 7th UNRCC for the Americas Robert W. Foster, President of FIG

  8. Data Collection – Major Trends • Space based technologiesusing inexpensive hand-held receivers • GPS-surveying with the so-called real-time kinematic technique (RTK) • The spatial referencing part of the NSDI includes geodetic reference marks, supplemented with GPS base stations • Satellite radar altimetry • Remote sensing technologies like photogrammetry and spectral and laser scanning 7th UNRCC for the Americas Robert W. Foster, President of FIG

  9. Final Remarks • It is our duty to promote sustainable development. • We create the overview by monitoring developments and continuously analysing results. • Information technology is indispensable, but data and information are a prerequisite. • There is a great need for spatial information. However, this is not solely a question of information. There is a very significant management element. • Spatial Information Management is becoming a major area of work for surveyors throughout the world. 7th UNRCC for the Americas Robert W. Foster, President of FIG
