Hi all,
Yesterday, I received a mail from Melissa Burgess who's working with UNDP
Regional Centre in Bangkok. They are working on a list of GIS products and
request information on QGIS.
Melissa Burgess writes:
"The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) is managing a project
titled “Better Informed Environmental Decision Making through Integrated
Spatial Planning” in the Asia-Pacific Region. The project focuses on
demonstrating the benefits of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for
environmental management, as well as stimulating a demand for spatial
planning resources amongst government and the private sector.
The project outputs will include:
1. A list of GIS software providers and a brief description of GIS
products on the market; and
2. Examples of the application of GIS in environmental management. These
examples are designed to encourage governments, United Nations agencies
and non-government organizations to use GIS.
I am writing to request your input into these two project outputs by
providing: 1) information on Quantum GIS products; and 2) examples of maps
produced with your GIS software. By participating in this project you have
a unique opportunity to promote your company and advertise your products
in the Asia-Pacific Region. All information that you provide to the UNDP
for use in these project outputs will be referenced to your company or,
where necessary, to the institutions/individuals that authored the map
examples you provide."
[End of Melissa's mail]
I wrote the first part (information on Quantum GIS products) but I need
your help with the example maps. It would be great if you could send me
some maps with topics from the following list:
· Forestry management
· Biodiversity and habitat monitoring
· Land degradation monitoring
· Protected areas management
· Watershed management
· Coastal zone management
· Marine and fisheries management
· Climate change adaptation and mitigation
· Disaster Risk Reduction and Response
· Pollution prevention and control
· Social and Environmental Impact Assessments
· Land use planning
· Town planning
· Land allocation
· Environmental legislation compliance
Information required for each example:
· Category (from list above):
· Location:
· Name of organization producing the map:
· Map picture:
· Map title:
· Map description (one to five sentences):
· GIS Product used:
· Type of spatial analysis used (if applicable):
It would be great if you could send me some maps and information on them.
I wrote to Melissa asking about the deadline but I guess we don't have too
much time.
Maybe we can also use the same information to put together a brochure like
"QGis and environmental mapping" or a wiki page like that :)
Regards,
Anita
