Reducing Vulnerability in Pacific ACP States A Collaborative MapServer to drive businesses http://map.sopac.org/ Franck Martin franck@sopac.org

Project Background The project is funded by the European Union and implemented through SOPAC Has 3 Key Areas of interest Hazards assessment & mitigation Aggregates Water & Sanitation Must assist ultimately the population at large Project must be useful – not reside on shelf Emphasis on the use of Geographic Information Systems and IT

The Pacific 8+6 ACP States: Fiji Kiribati Papua New Guinea Samoa Solomon Islands Tonga Tuvalu Vanuatu --- Cook Islands Federated States of Micronesia Marshal Islands Nauru Niue Palau

Integrated Data Sets Many technical projects collect data How is this data used in making decisions? Is data available to as broad a group as possible? Is it in a form understood by as many as possible? Reducing vulnerability to communities requires that timely and adequate information is given to Planners, Government, Administration Developers , Industry Communities at all levels

Example of an Integrated Data Set

Elevation and Bathymetry

Geology

Imagery

Seismic Hazard Map

Buildings Buildings

A collaborative Tool: Tiki

Help to decision making Provides information Interactive and dynamic maps Internet technology used OpenSource effort The data is available... Published data = available data All stakeholders have access to the data

Types of Data Multi-beam survey of offshore to 3500m Satellite imagery – Ikonos & others Geological hazards – landslides/seismicity, coastal erosion and processes Infrastructure (water, utilities) Resources – aggregates, water Land use, agriculture, fisheries and forests Mining and mineral exploration

All information has potential value but that value can only be realised if the information is used Data is not Information, Information is not Knowledge, Knowledge is not Wisdom and all of that is not Action

Why Internet? Server on the Internet Stakeholders connect to the Internet (not project responsibility) Works Internally or Externally Data Published = Data Available The Internet is a collaborative effort so is the MapServer

Why Opensource? Sustainability Licenses (Internet licences are expensives) Software support No Black Box Rely on standards and support many file formats (not vendor dependant) Reliable Secure if administrator cares All software needed for server freely available

Help to businesses Fish Aggregating Devices FAD River gravel extraction Tourism resources protection Forest logging Location of risk areas Better farming
