Abstract

Enabling land cover changes monitoring at global scale

Monitoring changes in land use is essential for monitoring climate change and initiatives to counter it. Today, many global mapping projects exist (ESA WorldCover, Global Forest Watch, World Settlement Footprint) and they all show their advantages and weaknesses in terms of quality, update frequency, and thematic precision. One of the main keys to success is related to input data and especially, their access and structuration for the implementation in machine learning algorithms. It is necessary that the data be homogeneous spatially and continuous in time. In this context, KERMAP has developed basemaps on a global scale, updated on a monthly basis. This data provides seamless, cloud-free and artifact-free coverage of the Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 products. More than a simple basemap, it is continuously updated every month and allows monitoring tasks and training models based on time series. The first use-cases have in particular shown relevant applications for the monitoring of urbanization, forests, crop monitoring in the context of compliance with good environmental practices.

Land selection e-service for investors in Special Economic Zone at Duqm (SEZAD) in the sultanate of Oman

The Title: Land selection e-service for investors in Special Economic Zone at Duqm (SEZAD) in the sultanate of Oman The presentation will show the following: - Introduction - Aims and methodology implemented - Result and outcomes - feedback idea about this service: This service allows investors to select the plot of land directly as soon as an investor determines the type of project and the required space of the plot. Based on the application's details, the system displays the vacant plots in the masterplan for investors via the Geographic Information System (GIS), which has become one of the modern technologies used in achieving governance of procedures. The new service assists the investor to easily make the investment decision by selecting the appropriate location of the land while providing a spatial description that reinforces the decision. Moreover, the service is distinguished by allowing investors to select the plot of land in interactive maps for more than 800 different economic activities. It also brings other features, including: the possibility of measuring the distance between the selected land and the key landmarks in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm, providing accurate information about the level of land's altitude above sea level, merging joint lands, getting full measurements of lengths and spaces, determining the geographical location coordinates, and sharing the approximate distance of the land from the nearby utilities such as electricity, water, telecommunications, and roads.

Abstract

Norwegian Support to Geospatial Sector in the Republic Of Moldova: Sixteen Years of Capacity Development

The development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure in Moldova has achieved a significant progress in recent years thanks to donor support from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its implementing agency the Norwegian Mapping Authority - Kartverket, working together with the beneficiary in Moldova - the Agency for Land Relations and Cadastre - ALRC. Norwegian support to the geospatial sector in Moldova has started in 2006. The main development goal of the Norwegian support to the geospatial sector in Moldova was to achieve economic growth supported by a functioning land market and tools for good land management. A number of projects have been successfully implemented, delivering tangible results, bringing new technologies and establishing professional and technical capacity to ensure sustainability and efficient use of the project deliverables and transferred knowledge.

Abstract

Land Administration Systems - Point of truth for Digital Twin

An irreversible trend in the current digital transformation is to integrate the management and operation related to space-time. Much of the effort has focused on connecting the built environment with the physical environment; but beyond the data, connect the key moments of the processes and life cycle of assets. From the point of view of Land Administration Systems (LAS), in addition to
