3. 1. Country Information Land Area : 330.000 km2
Population : 88 million people (2010)
Urbanization : 30% (2010)
Upcoming Plans:
- To be industrialized country by 2020
- To develop a strategy for NSDI in Vietnam with the vision to 2020
Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

4. 2. Situation of Spatial Data
A large amount of spatial data in various scales is available to access:
Geodetic and elevation control points
Sea water level
DEM
Geoid surface
Drainage system
Transportation system
Administrative boundary
Satellite images
Land use
Cadastre
Land value
Population and economic infrastructure distribution
Sea bed topography
Satellite images
3D map
Geodetic network st and 2nd order
Coverage: Nationalwide
Land use map
1:50000 to 1:1000
Coverage: Provinces
Cadastral map
1:1000 to 1: 200
Coverage: Cities
Topographic map
Scale: 1: to 1:10000
Coverage: Nationalwide

5. 2. Situation of Spatial Data
Problems:
Duplication on Data production
Poor of data sharing
Data standard
Lack of management skills
Individual cannot get spatial data.
Policy on the development of spatial data is unclear

6. National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)
In order to utilize spatial data efficiently…
National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)
Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

7. 3. NSDI Strategic Plan
Name: National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)
Temporal scope: ~2020 year
Purpose: To establish a concise plan to drive State’s activities toward the development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure
Scope:
To eliminate redundant spatial data
To encourage data sharing
To have decision making through spatial analysis
To make spatial data widespread in the society
To reduce cost and budgets

9. Governing organization for NSDI development
Department of Survey and Mapping Vietnam, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment is responsible to prepare for a National Committee and a Master Plan of NSDI.

10. 4. Prototype of NSDI components
There are 7 components were proposed for National Spatial Data Infrastructure
Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

11. Seven components of NSDI
Framework Spatial data
Standards
Access to data
Technology
Policy – Legislation
Organization – Institution
Partnership

12. 2. Administrative border 3. Topography 4. Hydrology 5. Transportation
Framework spatial data includes 7 layers, same as layers from 1:10000 scale topographic map.
1. Vegetation
2. Administrative border
3. Topography
4. Hydrology
5. Transportation
6. Population distribution
7. Satellite images.
Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

13. Standards
Standard of spatial data contents, data exchange, meta- data and data services
Surveying and Mapping activities in Vietnam are following these standards:
National Mapping Standard (2005)
National Database Standard (2005).
Geographic Data Standard (2009)
Cadastral Data Standard (2010).
Land registration standards
Law of Survey and Mapping (doing)
Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

14. Data Access Data discovery, data access and data process
Only State’s Institution and companies can access spatial data. It is necessary to overcome information monopoly data center by issuing legal regulations, policies to facilitate access to spatial data.
Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

15. Technology
Hardware and Software Equipment, Data 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Communication Network.
Technologies from Intergraph and ESRI are mainly used to make and edit spatial data.
Surveying and mapping technology has been completely changed into digital.
Technologies for data securities and automatic updating spatial data in a huge database are getting very important.
Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

16. Policy-legislation
Mechanism, Policy and Legislation regulated by the State
National Assembly and Government have paid much attention to legal frame and policy on ICT application and e-Government.
NSDI development strategy is expected to be approved by Prime Minster in 2014, and also Law on NSDI is approved by National Assembly adopts in 2017.

17. Organization-Institutions
Relationship between Organizations
Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development
Government Office
Ministry of Transportation
Ministry of Science & Technology
Ministry of Industry & Commerce
Ministry of Construction
NSDI Commitee
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

18. partnership
Investment Funding, Human Resources Development, Public Awareness Raising, Scientific Research and International Cooperation.
State budget spends about USD 100 million/year for encouraging communities to participate in NSDI
Generalize SDI subject in universities, where are teaching survey-mapping, land administration and other related subjects.

20. 6. NSDI data updating structure
Data production from State’s companies will be transferred to those from the local and privates companies. Spatial data will be update from the local to those of government center.

21. Budget for promoting NSDI
34% 70
63% 1% 2%
At present, State budget is investing about:
USD 40 million / year for cadastral works。
USD 74 million / year for production and upgrade of spatial data.
USD 1 million / year for spatial data network construction.
USD 2 million / year for spatial data production technology.
Asia Geospatial Forum 2013

22. 7. Difficulty of NSDI implication in VietNam
Vietnam does not have an official guidelines for the development of NSDI yet. Local enterprise scares to do business with spatial information. Lack of investment to spatial data.
Conclusions...
Cheaper and better NSDI
Still long way to go…
