1 GEO-IX, Foz de Iguacu, November 2012. GEO Outreach to the Balkans - Results of the BalkanGEONet project - Vesna Crnojevic-Bengin UNIVERSITY OF NOVI SAD, Serbia GEO-IX, Foz de Igiuacu, November 2012.

2 GEO-IX, Foz de Iguacu, November 2012. Background GEO outreach to Balkans assessed based on the results of the ongoing FP7 BalkanGEONet project – „Balkan GEO Network – Towards Inclusion of Balkan Countries into Global Earth Observation Initiatives“ – ENV.2010.4.1.4-1: Identification and Networking of EO activities in the Balkan area – 16 partners from all countries in the wider Balkan region – Expected impact: to contribute to building institutional capacity to use EO and to establishing regional CB networks

3 GEO-IX, Foz de Iguacu, November 2012. Outline BalkanGEONet methodology for gap analysis Results of the gap analysis used to evaluate the impact of GEO to the region

4 GEO-IX, Foz de Iguacu, November 2012. B.GN Approach WP2 & WP3 provided a realistic picture of Balkan EO landscape WP4 – Gap analysis – BalkanGEONet methodology developed

5 GEO-IX, Foz de Iguacu, November 2012. B.GN Gap Analysis

6 GEO-IX, Foz de Iguacu, November 2012. Background Detailed analysis revealed that none of the existing methodologies fit our purpose: – GIGAS: many details needed on the limited number of activities – Environmental Management Gap Analysis Tool from EEA: too many details on the activities to be analysed need to be known Since the goal of B.GN is to work towards inclusion of the Balkan countries into GEO, it is important to structure the gap analysis done within B.GN along the lines of GEO actions.

7 GEO-IX, Foz de Iguacu, November 2012. B.GN Methodology Structured wrt. GEO Action 19.11, Task US-09-01a. Our goal: – To assess the potential available – To define the directions of future development Our approach: – Opportunity assessment: identifying where investments would add value and leverage existing strengths – Structural gap analysis across geographic, observational and domain variables – Carefull development of indicators

11 GEO-IX, Foz de Iguacu, November 2012. Indicators for “Activities” Number of ongoing activities (projects) in 2009 Number of ongoing activities (projects) in 2010 Number of ongoing activities (projects) in 2011 Number of activities (projects) for environmental monitoring Number of activities (projects) for civil security Number of activities (projects) for political coordination Number of activities (projects) for information spreading Number of activities (projects) for the development of EO technology Number of activities (projects) for other purposes Number of Global/European activities (projects) Number of Super-National activities (projects) Number of National activities (projects) Number of Regional activities (projects)

13 GEO-IX, Foz de Iguacu, November 2012. Quantifying the Indicators The evaluation for each indicator has been calculated by averaging the survey inputs. E.g. if the average mark was 3 (60%), a score above 75% or 3.75 indicates high relevance of the issue for Balkan stakeholders while a score below 45% or 2.25 indicates low importance of the issue: Score < 45%: low relevance of the respective issue Score 45%- 59%: moderate relevance of the respective issue Score 60% - 74%: considerable relevance of the respective issue Score 75% – 84%: high relevance of the respective issue Score ≥ 85%: very high relevance of the respective issue

14 GEO-IX, Foz de Iguacu, November 2012. B.GN Results …selected to highlight the impact of GEO

15 GEO-IX, Foz de Iguacu, November 2012. Number of Stakeholders Types of data Non-GEO countries GEO countries Remote sensing 67110 In-situ 4663 Other 5679 Unknown 713 Total 176265 50 % more stakeholders in GEO countries! Similar difference exists for producers/providers and users

16 GEO-IX, Foz de Iguacu, November 2012. Type of EO Data GEO member countries: – Rely more on remote sensing and satellite data than on in-situ and other types of data Non-GEO countries: – Rely more on in-situ data collection since it requires less investment to deploy.

20 GEO-IX, Foz de Iguacu, November 2012. Does your organization provide and/or use EO data? Most EO players both provide and use EO data – Action needed! Similar for GEO and non-GEO countries Outliers: e.g. FYROM, Greece and Romania, where use of EO data dominates over production. A1 Yes, we only provide EO data A2 Yes, we both provide and use EO data A3 Yes, we only use EO data A4 No, but we would like to use EO data A5 No, but we would like to learn if EO data can be used to enhance our business A6 No

21 GEO-IX, Foz de Iguacu, November 2012. Does your organization provide and/or use EO data? Potential new users of EO data (answers A4 and A5): 16.5% ! Potential is similar for GEO and non-GEO countries Some countries show remarkable ambition to use EO data: Albania (23.8%), Montenegro (25.0%), Serbia (29.5%), Turkey (30.7%) ! A1 Yes, we only provide EO data A2 Yes, we both provide and use EO data A3 Yes, we only use EO data A4 No, but we would like to use EO data A5 No, but we would like to learn if EO data can be used to enhance our business A6 No

24 GEO-IX, Foz de Iguacu, November 2012. Conclusion Results clearly illustrate the impact of GEO to the countries in the wider Balkan region B.GN methodology is scalable and applicable to any other region It can be used to evaluate the level of current and importance of future GEO outreach, and to indicate directions where future efforts should be focused, e.g.: – Capacity building across various geographic, observational and domain (SBA) categories – Outreach to contributors and users of GEOSS – Raising awarenes of decision- and policy-makers
