1 Situation in the Netherlands: times are still changing GA Luxemburg October 2007

2 Again about the change? (after Berlin, april 2004) In general, more and more, from Geodesy to: Geo-information and Geo-information-applications and Geo-information-management or Geomatics and surveying and Spatial information services

3 Geodesy or geo-information is losing it s own (separate) identity, but getting more important in it s geo-applications, Beside this: we are working on the NGII (National Geo- Information Infrastructure) There is still a lack of geodetic knowledge (but more and more in the back-office) And we see a revival of photogrammetry and aerial imaging, both for mapping and Google-like applications

4 In this overview: Markets Societies Education In the context: What are the changes? And: do you expect or recognize the same?

5 Markets: Geo-employment 75%public (4000) 25% private (1500) Economic growth New investments in infrastructure ( stop traffic jams ) From building to maintain (need of information) Governmental organizations: hands off, eyes on Lack of geo-educated employees Integration with other disciplines (civil, IT, environment) Efficiency is approving Bring the work to the market, keep knowledge in house Especially less (lower educated) technicians needed

6 Program: Space for Geo-information 20 mio Euro, mainly research (proposals) Institutes, public services, private companies (consortia) National Geo-Information Infrastructure (NGII) Pushed by laws and governmental initiatives Enormous impulse to the market From mapping to spatial data-bases Central role (responsibility) for local authorities and Kadaster Kadaster is more and more national geo-service centre Law on information services about underground infrastructure In parliament, Kadaster in central role, introduction 2008 Responsibility (and sanctions) for owners and diggers

7 NGII: national geo-information infrastructure Basis Bedrijven Register (BBR) Nietnatuurlijke personen zijn eigenaar van Vestigingen Local authorities gevestigd in wonen in Adressen Basis Registratie Adressen (BRA) hebben Basis Gebouwen Registratie (BGR) Verblijfobjecten naamgeving van Panden bevinden zich in leveren begrenzing van Basisregistratie Geografie Objecten Natuurlijke personen Gemeentelijke Basis Administratie (GBA) hebben zakelijke rechten op Kadaster Kadastrale percelen Basisregistratie Kadaster dient als ondergrond voor

8 Societies: GIN October 2003: merge of nearly all geodetic and geo-information societies into: Geo-Informatie Nederland (GIN) GIN has a new generation in board and organization, more professional and practical organised GIN takes active initiatives in cooperation between geo-platforms and organizations They really try to break down old existing borders
