SDI Concept

• Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) constitutes a set of administrative national and international partnerships that enable data sharing, update and integration.

• SDI increases efficiency, reduces duplication of effort and supports the decision-making of government and industry.

Recognition of Spatial Information as “Public Infrastructure”

Introduction


Sustainable Development and SDI

• Sound spatial planning and decision-making relies on good and consistent information.

• Transparent spatial data is among the economic, social and environmentalpriorities of any nation.

• Good Land Administration requires good Land Information.

• Spatial Information supports the Decision- Making of Governments.

• Effective land management requires comprehensive national spatial databasewith transparent spatial information.

Principles of SDI

Provision and Management• Reduction of duplication of effort and

expense • Data Sharing and Availability of Commonly

Used Datasets• Consistent methods of data collection and

storage• Consistent use of standards and datums• Shared investment (and benefit)• Community Access

Standardising Bodies and Principles • International Organisation for Standardisation

Information/Geomatics (ISO/TC 211)– 19100-19140 Geographic Information Series– 19115 Geographic Information - Metadata, Final Draft

National SDI

Spatial Information Activities and Resources (Infrastructure) of National Importance

– Requires National Standards and Policy, Local Implementation – Both Top Down andBottom Up strategies

– Not just data warehouses and clearinghouses, but exchange node for all forms of spatial information

– establish standardsfor collection, storage, transfer, update, access, pricing…

Barriers to National SDI

• Immature institutional arrangements and user/ provider relationships

• Inconsistencies in availability and quality of spatially referenced data

• Inconsistent policies concerning access to and use of spatially referenced data

• Incomplete knowledge about the availability and quality of existing spatially referenced data

• Lack of best practice in the utilisation of enabling technologies

Challenges


Recommendations

1. Coordination of Spatial Information and ActivitiesRole Department of Geography, Line Ministries

2. Communication StrategyCambodian Government, Spatial Information sector and GIS Users

3. National Spatial Data Directory4. Development of National SDI Strategy and Vision5. Development of Guidelines for National SDI6. Investment and Human Resources

Challenges


National SDI Vision and Strategy

Vision Statement• Main principle to guide SDI policy development i.e.

“That all Spatial Information is readily available and accessible in a timely manner for the use and benefit of all Cambodian citizen”

Cambodian Government Spatial Information Strategy

• Set of objectives and priorities to strive for in SDI development – Vision and Strategy endorsed by CLP

• Promote consistent use and management of Spatial Information throughout all Ministries and administrative levels

Recommendations


Conclusion

The crucial benefits of National SDI for Cambodia on the short term would be an improved access to spatial information for:

– Poverty alleviation measures (MDG 7)– Improved land management and land allocation– Transparent management of agricultural lands,– Land mine and unexploded ordnance clearing, – Comprehensive flood management, – Cooperative land use planning, – Sustainable rural and urban development

Conclusion


Thank you for your time.
