2 Geo-information for governance

3 Government Government the organization that is the governing authority of a political unit; In its broadest sense, "govern" means the power to administrate, whether over an area of land, a set group of people, or an association. Governance Governance is the system by which decision making is directed and controlled. Structure of the governance system specifies the distribution of rights and responsibilities among different participants in the system such as government, public and private sectors of society.

4 The evolution of the map paradigm From map provision.

5 The evolution of the map paradigm. through the new role of maps. map as part of search engine interface to other data

6 The evolution of the map paradigm.. and new data sources.

7 National Park management

8 national

9 Laser scanning forests Forest stands forest stand map in two ways object view has many polygons field view can be seen as a function

10 The evolution of the map paradigm.. to gdi based services.. Courtesy Menno-Jan Kraak

11 The evolution of the map paradigm.. embedded in the internet and the web

12 New roles of geo-information Understanding geo-processes Courtesy Colin Reeves

13 New roles of geo-information Prediction of processes due to global change (the Dutch are coming!!)

14 New roles of geo-information Scenarios for spatial development New design of Enschede Science Park

15 Multilevel decision-making Objects at different aggregation levels 1999, Martien Molenaar, ITC

21 New roles of GI-providers

22 New infrastructures

23 Required business strategies Business & Geo-ICT environment Institutional Setting Business strategy Geo-ICT strategy GI PROVIDER Organisational infrastructure Geo-ICT architecture Courtesy Yola Georgiadou

24 New GI-professionals 1.Experts in the field of spatial information handling (or specialists in certain aspects of this field), 2.Users of geo-information and 3.Professionals and policy makers, aware of the importance of geo-information for society.

25 Mission ITC ITC is an institute for international education The knowledge field of ITC is Geoinformation Science and Earth Observation Applied research & consulting The activities of ITC aim primarily at capacity building and institutional development The focus is on the Millenium Goals, and countries that are economically and technologically less developed (LDC s).

26 Scientific departments: Earth Observation Science Geo-Information Processing Urban Planning and Geo-Info Management Natural Resources Water Resources Earth Systems Analysis (EOS) (GIP) (PGM) (NRS) (WRS) (ESA)

27 Education at ITC PhD program 42 months MSc Program 18 months MSc in Geo-information Science and Earth Observation (Professional) Master Program 12 months Master in Geo-information Science and Earth Observation Short tailor-made courses

28 Total # course participants : * Total # countries : 164

29 NEW PARTNERSHIPS FOR EDUCATION National and/or regional market: Organizations with a need for capacity building and/or institutional strengthening Local or National Universities or other Educational Institutes ITC Possibly with other European partners
