Outlines of the presentation 1. Country information 2. Situation of spatial data in Vietnam 3. NSDI strategic plan 4. Prototype of NSDI components 5. Prototype of promoting system for NSDI 6. NSDI data updating structure 7. Difficulty of NSDI implication in Vietnam Conclusions Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

1. Country Information Land Area : 330.000 km2 Population : 88 million people (2010) Urbanization : 30% (2010) Upcoming Plans: - To be industrialized country by 2020 - To develop a strategy for NSDI in Vietnam with the vision to 2020 Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

2. Situation of Spatial Data A large amount of spatial data in various scales is available to access: Geodetic and elevation control points Sea water level DEM Geoid surface Drainage system Transportation system Administrative boundary Satellite images Land use Cadastre Land value Population and economic infrastructure distribution Sea bed topography Satellite images 3D map Geodetic network 1st and 2nd order Coverage: Nationalwide Land use map 1:50000 to 1:1000 Coverage: Provinces Cadastral map 1:1000 to 1: 200 Coverage: Cities Topographic map Scale: 1:250000 to 1:10000 Coverage: Nationalwide

2. Situation of Spatial Data Problems: Duplication on Data production Poor of data sharing Data standard Lack of management skills Individual cannot get spatial data. Policy on the development of spatial data is unclear Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) In order to utilize spatial data efficiently… National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

3. NSDI Strategic Plan Name: National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) Temporal scope: ~2020 year Purpose: To establish a concise plan to drive State’s activities toward the development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure Scope: To eliminate redundant spatial data To encourage data sharing To have decision making through spatial analysis To make spatial data widespread in the society To reduce cost and budgets

Governing organization for NSDI development Department of Survey and Mapping Vietnam, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment is responsible to prepare for a National Committee and a Master Plan of NSDI. Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

4. Prototype of NSDI components There are 7 components were proposed for National Spatial Data Infrastructure Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

Seven components of NSDI Framework Spatial data Standards Access to data Technology Policy – Legislation Organization – Institution Partnership

2. Administrative border 3. Topography 4. Hydrology 5. Transportation Framework spatial data includes 7 layers, same as layers from 1:10000 scale topographic map. 1. Vegetation 2. Administrative border 3. Topography 4. Hydrology 5. Transportation 6. Population distribution 7. Satellite images. Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

Standards Standard of spatial data contents, data exchange, meta- data and data services Surveying and Mapping activities in Vietnam are following these standards: National Mapping Standard (2005) National Database Standard (2005). Geographic Data Standard (2009) Cadastral Data Standard (2010). Land registration standards Law of Survey and Mapping (doing) Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

Data Access Data discovery, data access and data process Only State’s Institution and companies can access spatial data. It is necessary to overcome information monopoly data center by issuing legal regulations, policies to facilitate access to spatial data. Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

Technology Hardware and Software Equipment, Data 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Communication Network. Technologies from Intergraph and ESRI are mainly used to make and edit spatial data. Surveying and mapping technology has been completely changed into digital. Technologies for data securities and automatic updating spatial data in a huge database are getting very important. Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

Policy-legislation Mechanism, Policy and Legislation regulated by the State National Assembly and Government have paid much attention to legal frame and policy on ICT application and e-Government. NSDI development strategy is expected to be approved by Prime Minster in 2014, and also Law on NSDI is approved by National Assembly adopts in 2017. Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

partnership Investment Funding, Human Resources Development, Public Awareness Raising, Scientific Research and International Cooperation. State budget spends about USD 100 million/year for encouraging communities to participate in NSDI Generalize SDI subject in universities, where are teaching survey-mapping, land administration and other related subjects.

5. Prototype of promoting system for NSDI Prime Minister/ Vice Prime Minister NSDI Committee (Located in MONRE) Framework Data Sub-Committee Standardization Sub-Committee Data Access Sub-Committee Technology Sub-Committee Policy- Legislation Sub-Committee Organization- Institute Sub-Committee Advisory Board Foreign Expert Partnership Sub-Committee Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

6. NSDI data updating structure Data production from State’s companies will be transferred to those from the local and privates companies. Spatial data will be update from the local to those of government center. States WFS Layer0 Provinces WFS Layer1 County FTP FTP FTP Layer2 Layer3 Layer4 Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

Budget for promoting NSDI 34% 70 63% 1% 2% At present, State budget is investing about: USD 40 million / year for cadastral works。 USD 74 million / year for production and upgrade of spatial data. USD 1 million / year for spatial data network construction. USD 2 million / year for spatial data production technology. Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

7. Difficulty of NSDI implication in VietNam Vietnam does not have an official guidelines for the development of NSDI yet. Local enterprise scares to do business with spatial information. Lack of investment to spatial data. Conclusions... Cheaper and better NSDI Still long way to go…

Thank you very much Asia Geospatial Forum 2013
