Geospatial data is a key underground element for
right decision
What is GIS
1. GIS: Geospatial information system
2. Geospatial: Spatio-temporal distribution
3. Information: Data and their meaning
4. System: What ties the geography and information together
5. For decision makers
6. From Map to GIS toward Decision

ESCAP Regional Drought Mechanism
• Geospatial data + ground
socio-economic data =
monitoring and early warning
of drought
• Regional service nodes: China
and India (knowledge, data
and satellite information
• Pilot countries: Sri Lanka,
Mongolia& Myanmar,
Cambodia&.
New Tech in Space and GIS
Loon Project (Google)
20km from surface
One balloon covers 40km2
13 balloons cover Sri Lanka
What Need for Space Tech and GIS Applications
1. Geospatial Data platform – Geo portal
2. Geospatial database with socio economic data
3. Human resources rapidly increasing data inflow
4. Instructional improvement for integrated use of socio-economic data and geospatial data:
5. Reform of national and regional financial mechanism
� Present financial systems against to long term investment in new technology development and its applications
6. Decision maker’s understanding and commitment
Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI)
Geo portal as Pre-step to SDI
Geo-portal combines socio-economic data, geospatial data and satellite imagery, and other disaster related data for decision making.
Open-sourced software by ESCAP
Assisted 6 countries in establishing national geo portals for DRR

Disaster data layer from Geo-DRM, Nepal 2013
Geo portal as Pre-step to SDI
• Geospatial data + ground
socio-economic data for
disaster management
• Open-sourced geo portal
• Need to build geospatial
and socio-economic
database
• Sharing of geospatial data

Indicators for Economic Development
How do we know economic development?
Two agreed indicators
1. Investment ratio of GDP
= Gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) / GDP
2. R&D ratio of GDP
Investment ratio of GDP
1. Most technologies have to be embodied in fixed capital
such as buildings, railways.
2. Without high investment in fixed capital known as gross
fixed capital formation (GFCF), an economy can not
develop its productive potential very much
3. Thus investment ratio (GFCF/GDP) is a good indicator
of its development potential
4. In real world – next page
Investment Ratio of GDP
4. In real world, the investment ratio in fixed capital
a. World average: around 20-22 % of GDP
b. China: 45 % of GDP in last few years
c. Central African Republic or the Demo Republic of Congo: 2 %
d. Japan in 1960-70: 35 % of GDP
e. Without at least 25% of GDP, difficult to achieve more that 6 % growth in long term
5. This is not to say that a higher investment ratio is necessarily a good thing
� Investment by definition sacrifices today’s consumption and living standards
6. Nevertheless, the investment ratio is the best single indicator of economic development through its productive capabilities.
R&D Ratio of GDP
1. R&D ratio of GDP and its evolution over long time.
� OECD: 2.3 % of GDP
� Top: Israel, South Korea, Japan and Finland (3.3%).
Korea: 4.15 % of GDP (2.4% in 1995).
� Indonesia: 0.1%, Colombia: 0.2%, Kenya: 0.5%,
China 1.5% in 2009 and 2.1% in 2015.
2. Increase R&D to generate new technologies

Summary and Conclusion
1. Space technology and GIS is one of strong emerging technologies and knowledge base for decision making
2. Need for investment in SDI
3. Need for investment in R&D for space technology and GIS technologies and use
4. Institutional reform needed for integration of socio-economic data and geospatial data:
5. Capacity for GIS officers
6. Decision maker’s understanding and commitment
