iTaukei  Land, Our Heritage, Our FutureMAIN CONSTRAINT• Today, the main constraint on the use of

GIS in urban planning is the availability andsharing of data.

• For Developed Countries, Spatial Data canbe downloaded online!

• However, for developing countries like Fiji,Spatial Data Sharing is still an issue.

• “A Better Fiji for All” requires “DataSharing”
