Geospatial information technologies have become critical tools to support national development, economic growth, improved decision making and policy formulation. According to the Rio+20 outcome document, ‘The Future We Want’, specifically recognized the importance of “reliable geospatial information” in the areas of national disaster risk reduction strategies and plans (including comprehensive hazard and risk assessments), and for sustainable development, policymaking, programming and project operations. Geospatial information is ubiquitous and can be applied to support every aspect of national development: development and planning; health care and social intervention; disaster management and climate change; crime management; infrastructure management; land management; natural resource management; agriculture; education administration; business; and environmental management.
