CLEARINGHOUSE FOR GEO-SPATIAL DATA FOR AN EMERGENCY PERSPECTIVEAshim Sharma
During emergencies, spatial data plays an important role in analyzing situations and informing decisions. However, accessing and managing this geospatial data across different agencies can be challenging. To address this, many countries have established national spatial data clearinghouses that serve as online portals allowing emergency forces to access and share static and dynamic geospatial data in a single place. However, issues remain such as a lack of standardization and interoperability between specialized systems, insufficient funding, and challenges managing field data. The paper proposes developing an effective clearinghouse for Nepal that can help coordinate emergency response by facilitating access to up-to-date geospatial data and information.
This document discusses the use of geographic information systems (GIS) for various purposes. It begins by outlining six principles for GIS use, including thinking spatially, using data appropriately, and believing in data sharing. It then covers what GIS is, its components and applications for fields like environmental impact assessment, social sciences, natural resource management, disaster risk reduction, participatory planning, and decision support/public policy. Specific examples discussed include using GIS for flood mapping, natural resource management, understanding disease spread, and evaluating government programs for tribal communities. The document emphasizes how GIS can help improve decision-making by integrating spatial data from various sources.

This document is a report submitted by Group Five students - Adenike Shonowo, Oluwafemi Salami, Ayobami Ayo-salami, Olumide Adedeji, Babatunde Fajoye, Shakirat Akinleye, Oluseun Bolawa, Adeola Adewale. It discusses geographic information systems (GIS) and its uses in city planning and management. GIS facilitates processing and displaying of digital spatial data and helps with tasks like zoning, resource allocation, emergency response, and more. The report also lists benefits of GIS such as improved efficiency, decision support, and enhanced public participation.
There has never been a civilization that did not produce and use maps. Maps are a powerful way to represent and simplify complex environmental and geographic information. While maps have traditionally been used by leaders and explorers, modern GIS technology has made mapping accessible to a wider audience and has political and institutional impacts through how information is produced, delivered, and controls organizational power structures. The Nakorn Ratchasima GIS project in Thailand developed an open, standard, extensible, and multi-purpose GIS system for the municipality using off-the-shelf software and an intranet to provide tax collection, city planning, and other services to citizens.
The document discusses the current situation of land information systems (LIS) in Nepal. Three main government institutions - the Department of Survey, Department of Land Reform and Management, and Department of Land Information and Archives - are each working to develop their own LIS by digitizing maps and land records. However, there is a lack of clear vision, cooperation between departments, resources, and government commitment beyond documents. The document proposes developing a long-term vision and policy, organizational structure, human resource development, and stakeholder cooperation to improve the future of LIS in Nepal. Key challenges include working modalities, data security, infrastructure, and sustainability.

Building Spatial Data Infrastructures for Spatial Planning in Africa: Lagos e...Samuel Dekolo
Lagos is the fastest growing Megacity in Sub-Saharan Africa, with its population estimated to double in the first quarter of this century; it is expected to be the third largest urban agglomerations in the world. This growth is not without challenges, as the city is grappling with myriads of urban management problems. City planners lack the most important ingredient of land use management, which is Information. In spite of huge investment on spatial data infrastructures at the national and state levels of government, most land use planners at both state and local government level agencies are ignorant of existing geospatial technology portals and unlock the full potentials of information and communication technologies. A statewide survey of the spatial data infrastructures of the city’s urban and land use management ministry and agencies proves its pathetic state, thereby creating information gap void between urban development and intelligent management. The result is has led to a sporadic growth of slums and unplanned settlements which now accounts for over 60% of the city. To avoid an impasse, it is necessary to review the level of geospatial technologies used at the local level and recommend formidable means of integration in the decision making process. This paper examines the level of geospatial technologies and Spatial Data Infrastructure use in spatial planning agencies and barriers to implementation in the 20 local governments of Lagos State and suggests the way forward.
Crowd sourcing using gis for disaster management sharma amit (38)Amit Sharma
Crowdsourcing and open source geospatial tools can be used to collect spatial data and inventory assets during disaster response to benefit communities. User-generated geographic information through crowdsourcing can save time over traditional unplanned surveys by involving the online community. This volunteered geographic data can then be used by planning teams to help save lives and prioritize rescue efforts. For example, during the 2010 Haiti earthquake, a messaging service allowed people to request help and report locations of trapped individuals. Overall, integrating crowdsourcing with GIS and open source tools can help save lives, health, infrastructure, and economies during disaster scenarios.

The document discusses integrating human rights into statistics in South Africa. It recommends moving from survey-based organization to organizing statistics around themes, and establishing a unit focused on marginalized groups. This would increase participation, transparency, and understanding of user needs. It also discusses measuring human rights to comply with international agreements South Africa has signed. The governance survey is used as an example, noting it includes questions on discrimination, rights knowledge, and democracy perceptions with disaggregation by attributes like gender, disability and ethnicity. While progress has been made, further participation at the community level and formalizing research ethics are areas for additional growth.

Digital cartography and natural disaster managementGCUF
The document discusses the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in disaster management. It explains that GIS allows users to create interactive maps to analyze spatial data and present results. GIS can be used to create hazard maps, locate critical facilities, and help people in disasters. It is useful for planning, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery efforts by mapping high-risk areas, emergency locations, infrastructure damage, and more. GIS data helps assess needs before, during, and after disasters.
Geographical information system : GIS and Social Media Imran Ghaznavi
Geographical Information System (GIS) is a system for capturing, storing, analyzing and managing data which is spatially referenced to Earth. GIS allows users to correlate geographic and attribute information to better understand relationships and patterns. Key applications of GIS include urban planning, transportation, education, government, marketing and more. The rise of social media and location-based services has led to a convergence of GIS and social media, allowing analysis of social networks and interactions tied to physical locations over time. This new development enables deeper understanding of human behavior patterns across communities.
The document discusses how GIS technology is helping to fight trachoma, the world's leading cause of preventable blindness. A new system uses smartphones and Esri software to collect data on trachoma prevalence in remote areas, transfer the data in real time to servers, and display the results on interactive maps. This helps identify communities in need of treatment and track progress towards eliminating trachoma globally by 2020. The system was tested in Ethiopia and provides an efficient way to gather and visualize geographic data on neglected tropical diseases.
This document discusses geographical information systems (GIS). It begins by defining GIS as a way to analyze and visualize collected geographic data. It notes that GIS was first developed in 1960 by Roger Tomlinson and allows users to create interactive queries, analyze spatial information, and present results. The document outlines benefits of GIS like cost savings, better decision making, improved communication, and managing information geographically. It also discusses applications in business, education, natural resources, and health services. Finally, it provides information on international information systems infrastructure and strategies for global business organization.
This document provides an overview of a presentation on Land Information Systems (LIS) given to Er. Subash Ghimire. The presentation was prepared by 5 students and covered the introduction of LIS, why they are important, background on LIS concepts in Western countries and Nepal, problems implementing LIS in Nepal, methodology, findings from data analysis in Land Revenue and District Survey Offices, challenges and future strategies. Key points included components of LIS, issues with incomplete data entry and updating in Nepal, and goals of moving to more accurate boundary representation and real-time access over time.
Esri Location Analytics reveals relationships and patterns in enterprise data using location. It extends traditional applications by providing complete information and analysis. Location analytics allows businesses to maximize advertising dollars, governments to see spending patterns, and first responders to access digital floor plans during emergencies. Putting location at the center of analysis provides deeper insights, more powerful analytics, and richer information for improved decision making.

Globally inclusive approaches to measurement_Shigehiro Oishi.pdfStatsCommunications
This document discusses measurement issues in comparing well-being and culture across countries. It covers 5 main issues: 1) Response styles may not fully explain differences in life satisfaction scores between countries. 2) Well-being items do not always function the same way across cultures, though lack of measurement equivalence only partly explains score differences. 3) Self-presentation and 4) judgmental/memory biases may also contribute to differences to a small-moderate degree. 5) The meaning and desirability of happiness differs across cultures, which can further impact scores. The document also advocates developing indigenous well-being measures that are meaningful within each local context.
Globally inclusive approaches to measurement_Erhabor Idemudia.pdfStatsCommunications
This document discusses considerations for developing quality of life measures from an African perspective. It notes that many existing QoL instruments were developed for Western populations and do not account for cultural differences. In Africa, concepts like happiness are more closely tied to collective well-being and social harmony rather than individualism. The document also outlines some key African beliefs, like Ubuntu, which emphasizes interconnectedness. It argues that QoL measures for Africa must assess both objective and subjective domains, and be grounded in cultural values like family, community, and spirituality rather than only Western individualistic norms. Developing culturally appropriate QoL measures is important for capturing well-being in a meaningful way.

Stats NZ has taken several steps to incorporate Māori perspectives when measuring quality of life and well-being in New Zealand. This includes developing the Te Kupenga Māori social survey, incorporating some concepts from Te Kupenga into the General Social Survey, working with partners on using administrative data for Māori, and trialling iwi-led data collections for the Census. Te Kupenga uses frameworks like Whare Tapu Whā and focuses on cultural well-being areas like spirituality, customs, te reo Māori, and social connectedness. It provides statistics on these areas as well as demographics, paid work, health, and other topics from a Māori

The document discusses Italy's inclusion of domain satisfaction indicators in its framework for measuring well-being (BES). It provides background on Italy's system of social surveys and outlines the development of the BES project, which aims to measure equitable and sustainable well-being. The BES framework includes 12 domains of well-being and over 150 indicators, including subjective well-being indicators and indicators measuring satisfaction within other domains like health, work, relationships, safety, environment and more. The document presents examples of domain satisfaction indicators and trends over time in areas like friends relations and landscape satisfaction.
A better understanding of domain satisfaction: Validity and policy use_Anthon...StatsCommunications
Domain satisfaction measures provide valid and useful information about people's lives beyond overall life satisfaction. Research has found that domain satisfaction captures different aspects of well-being than objective indicators alone, and that different life domains contribute differently to individual happiness. While domain satisfaction may be socially constructed and culturally variable, current policy efforts can still benefit from considering subjective experiences of satisfaction across life domains. Future research opportunities include exploring the multidimensional relationships between domain satisfaction and broader concepts of well-being.
A better understanding of domain satisfaction: Validity and policy use_Marian...StatsCommunications
Domains of life are important for understanding life satisfaction and informing better policymaking. The document discusses four key points:
1) It is important to consider multiple domains of life, not just economic factors, to understand people's overall well-being.
2) Domains of life represent different areas that people spend their time and where they make decisions, such as family, health, work, community.
3) Considering domains of life can provide insight into life satisfaction and help create more effective policies in areas like health, education, and social programs.
4) Current government institutions and policies can be better aligned to impact the domains of life that influence overall life satisfaction.
Measuring subjective well-being in children and young people_Sabrina Twilhaar...StatsCommunications
This document summarizes Sabrina Twilhaar's presentation on new frontiers in subjective well-being measurement for children. It discusses Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory and how children's well-being is influenced by multiple levels including micro (family, peers), meso (school), exo (neighborhood), and macro (culture, economy) systems. It then reviews literature on conceptualizing and measuring hedonic and eudaimonic well-being in children, noting gaps like a focus on life satisfaction over affect. Research finds children's well-being varies by age and sex, and is associated with family relationships and bullying. Overall, more work is needed to develop valid cross-cultural measures of multiple
Towards a more comprehensive measure of eudaimonia_Nancy Hey.pdfStatsCommunications
This document summarizes recent research on measuring subjective well-being, with a focus on measuring how worthwhile people feel the things they do in life are. Some key findings include:
- In the UK, on average people rate their sense that the things they do are worthwhile at 7.86 out of 10, while 3.8% rate it between 0-4 out of 10.
- People in their late 60s and early 70s report the highest sense of worthwhile, while people over 85 and those aged 18-24 report the lowest.
- Factors associated with a higher sense of worthwhile include being older than 45/55, female, white, belonging to a religion, home ownership, higher income
