Spatial Innovation and Good Practices in Land Administration
Forum Room - Proceedings
28 March 2014, Washington DC, USA
Immediately after the 2014 World Bank Land and Poverty Conference (March
24 - 27) a one-day ‘Spatial Innovation and Good Practices’ forum will be
jointly convened by the Bank and FIG on 28th March 2014. The Forum will be
open to all registered participants to the Conference but prior notification
of attendance will be requested. The Forum will cover a number of themes
focusing on the contribution of spatial technologies and practices to
support the Post-2015 Development Agenda. These themes include data
collection, data management, data access, data and information sharing,
analysis and analytics, visualization and presentation and delivery systems
and services particularly when considering the challenge in locating,
connecting and delivering information with both geographic and temporal
context from differing scales and sources to governments and societies.
The Forum intends to draw upon appropriate examples/case studies and
outline good spatial practices to explain them. Current practices will be
discussed, spatial technologies and practices that are applied explained and
innovation and advancement explored, all aiming to achieve the desired
results that will fit the purpose for the Post-2015 “World We Want”.
Outline Program
The Spatial Innovation and Good Practices Forum jointly convened by the
World Bank and FIG with the support of key partners and stakeholders aimed
to explore appropriate and affordable spatial technologies, spatial
innovations and good practices that will definitively contribute towards
integrating land governance into the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
