Planning Commission's Progress Report on National Data Sharing & Accessibility

NITI Aayog

The Government of India notified the National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy 2012 on 17/3/2012 with the objective that the data/information generated using public funds should be readily available for sharing to the users for developmental planning. To implement the policy in the Planning Commission, an Oversight Committee was constituted on 11/5/2012. Upto Feb 2013, only 8 datasets were uploaded on the data portal. On 23/1/2013 the Oversight Committee was re-constituted with B.N.Satpathy, Sr. Adviser (S&T), PC, as Chairman. After reconstitution, regular meetings with all Advisers were held and concerted efforts made for uploading datasets on the Portal. As a result, as of 31/10/2013 a total of 699 datasets of the Planning Commission are available on the data portal for access. Planning Commission is at 4th position in uploading datasets compared to Ministry of Agriculture, followed by Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation, and Ministry of Water Resources. Popular datasets include GDP of India and major Sectors of Economy, Tendulkar Committee Methodology poverty line estimates of number of persons, Total forest cover in India, Macro-Economic Indicators, Aadhaar numbers generated, Domestic savings and components thereof, Annual growth rate of GDP by Industry, & Direct Benefit Transfer Scheme-wise status.

Recording at: https://youtu.be/cXWOE7RDO6M Recent works in renewable energy sources (RES) forecasting, have shown the interest of using spatially distributed time series and assumed that data could be gathered centrally and used, either at the RES power plant level, or at the level of a system operator. However, data is distributed in terms of ownership, limitation in data transfer capabilities and with agents being reluctant to share their data anyway.

EEI Strategic Issues Forum - Integration of DER: California and New York

ScottMadden, Inc.

Cristin Lyons, partner and grid transformation practice leader at ScottMadden, recently presented, "Integration of DER: California and New York," at the EEI Strategic Issues Form. California and New York are leading the country in integrating Distributed Energy Resources (DER); however, their approaches are different. It’s worth understanding some of the nuances of their respective proceedings and to clarify what they are (and are not) trying to accomplish. Each will provide unique lessons to both utilities and regulators that are attempting to integrate ever-increasing amounts of DER. For more information, please visit www.scottmadden.com.

Data Insights Report Planning JUN2022.pdf

ElissavetPerperidou

In our newly released Data Insights Report: Planning Applications, we revisited the wealth of environmental, land and property data that we gather, manage and supply to the property industry on a daily basis, and analysed relevant datasets to provide a summary of planning trends between 2012 and 2021. Overall, we saw that, year on year, the rate of planning applications in the UK is increasing. In fact, in every region – except for London – the number of planning applications submitted per 100,000 people was at its highest in 2021, since 2012. As well as pinpointing the regions with the highest and lowest application volumes, the report draws on data that reveals: Planning application types Granted/refusal rates Approval rates for renewable energy projects Approval rates in flood zones Essential amenities per approved planning application The report also features expert commentary from Landmark’s Chris Loaring, Managing Director (Legal), who shares his observations on planning trends beyond ‘the Covid effect’ and highlights the growing implications of the journey to net zero in future planning policy. Piers Edgell, Landmark’s Client Director (Geodata) closes with a powerful argument for how planning data and the levelling up agenda are inextricably linked: “… planning is about so much more than simply where developments will or will not be built. Every planning decision impacts the immediate environment, and so planning data could and should become a critical tool for informing and shaping social policies that aim to improve – or level up – communities. What, for example, could the kinds of planning data shown in this report tell us, when mapped against data on increasing property values or household incomes? What could the data we have summarised on amenities within the vicinity of planning applications tell us about location-specific standards of living and local needs?”.

Bunaken Island | Nov-15 | Bitung low carbon model town

Smart Villages

By Ratna Nawang Sari Off-grid electrification for development of small islands represents a number of unique challenges under the broad category of rural electrification. Small, off-grid island communities are particularly vulnerable to diesel price fluctuations and natural disasters, and thus, enhancing resilience through more sustainable and cheaper energy technologies should be a key priority. Financing the transition to these technologies – usually photovoltaic, micro-hydro or sometimes wind – is an essential hurdle to overcome. Once electricity systems are in place it is equally important that they are sustained in the longer term with effective arrangements for operation and maintenance, cost recovery etc. Related to this, is the productive use of the energy provided to increase islander incomes. The workshop on Bunaken Island, Sulawesi, Indonesia from 3 to 5 November 2015, organised by the Smart Villages Initiative in collaboration with Kopernik, will explore these issues and develop recommendations for policy makers, development agencies and other stakeholders in energy provision to island communities.

Geospatial Data for Augmented Reality (GIality) – Democratising In-Field Renewables Visualisation This paper will introduce the technology and applications for the use of geospatial data within augmented reality (AR) applications. GIality is the convergence of geospatial data and augmented reality and extends the use of AR from technology-preview to real-world business applications. Where augmented reality (AR) is the integration of real-world sensors (ie camera and orientation) with overlay data and imagery on a mobile device (usually as an app for a specific requirement such as marketing or gaming) the introduction of location and scaled 3D models, in combination with geospatial information and map data, provides new and engaging contextual in-field visualisation opportunities for planning, culture & heritage, retail and tourism. We will introduce how, using modern technology drivers including devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers, combined with geospatial positioning, spatial data and services, GIality can bring a new dimension democratisation and community engagement with planning & renewables data. Especially related to planning and renewable energy development, visual impact is one of the primary aspects in the consideration of acceptance under local and national guidance. This is most reported where the impact of wind turbines on the landscape has split political, environmental and consumer opinion. However the current mechanisms and procedures for visual impact assessment (VIA) are based on traditional printed off-site analysis which limits their context, scope and use. This paper introduces a new digital and in-field mobile solution for landscape visual impact analysis – in-field mobile VIA with GIality. The trends for mobile work and play, combined with integrated sensors and social coordination provide the availability and accessibility of tools for both professionals and citizens to democratise and personalise data. The augmentation of as-planned models and geospatial data with device location, attitude and orientation allows individual places of residence, work and play to be equally fairly, rigorously and unambiguously assessed for visual impact and create cost-effective solutions.

AGI Cymru 2013 - Perspectives from Above - Getmapping PLC

Use of web mapping tools to tackle local environmental issues This paper describes some of the recent uses of modern digital mapping tools by local action groups, Parish Councils and independent organisations to visualise environmental issues in order to aid decision making. Over the past 3-6 years, digital map data has become easier to transmit over the Web due to better standards and improvements in the speed and reliability of the Internet. The way in which we view the Web has also changed dramatically with a wide range of internet-enabled devices and this has lead to high profile companies advocating the use of digital mapping, such as Apple, Google and Microsoft, and as a result making it an everyday part of our lives. Professional mapping software and map data has long been an essential aid in decision making processes. However, until recently gaining access to the necessary tools and data was particularly difficult for smaller local organisations due to cost, licencing and available skills. The introduction of the Public Sector Mapping Agreement (PSMA) and the release of Ordnance Survey OpenData played a part in changing this. Once this data was available, companies like Getmapping have been able to build lightweight web-based GIS tools to cater for this sector’s needs. Combining these tools and map layers with Getmapping’s aerial imagery and elevation datasets, national address datasets and other publically-available data such as Natural England layers makes GIS easy to grasp and immediately usable by non-GIS users. Uses of Getmapping’s GIS include assessing the recent flooding in the South West of England by Town and Parish Councils, plotting efficient and environmentally-conscious routes for broadband fibre in Somerset, and visualising the state of the Mendip Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). There are, of course, many other potential uses of this GIS system to tackle topical, local issues and some of these will be highlighted.
