  1. Progress report on geospatial information management within the ESS Item 5.4 Ekkehard PETRI, GISCO

  2. Geographical information management within the ESS • GEOSTAT projects • UN-GGIM activities

  3. GEOSTAT projects • Series of projects with the ambition to develop a statistical-geospatial framework for the ESS • From concrete to strategic • GEOSTAT 1 – a population grid for Europe • GEOSTAT 2 – a point based spatial reference framework for statistics • GEOSTAT 3 – a statistical – geospatial framework for the ESS

  4. Goals of GEOSTAT 1 • Produce a 1km² population grid of the 2011 census from as many national datasets as possible (aggregated or hybrid data sources) • Develop a methodology for population grids from statistical and spatial data sources • Develop quality assessment parameters in addition to traditional statistical (ESMS) and spatial (INSPIRE) metadata • Address the issue of data confidentiality • Discuss business models of grid data • Show the application of grid data in spatial analysis • Present a vision for a spatial reference framework for statistics

  5. Results of GEOSTAT 1 • GEOSTAT 2011 data free of charge for non-commercial use • 29 of 32 EU + EFTA countries provided national data on residential population (aggregated, mix of aggregation and partial modelling using hybrid data sources) • Standard methodology for the aggregation of point based or very small area statistics into 1km² grids developed => Innovation in spatial statistics on a voluntary basis => GIS and other technical issues solved

  6. Further results • 1st version of quality documentation template • Use cases: • Accessibility to health services • Definition of a new sample frame (PT) • Confidentiality remains a huge problem -> GEOSTAT 2011 only residential population

  7. Use of population grids • Population based typologies (cities, rural-urban) • Support to EU Cohesion policy (Accessibility studies e.g. to public services, green areas) • Support the Sustainable Development Goals e.g. accessibility, definition of cities, exposure to disasters

  8. Recommendations for the next Census • Information should come from geocoded administrative sources or full enumerations • Population grids on core topics should be produced more frequently (e.g. residential population annually) • More breakdowns in addition to total residential population • Keep the 1km² cell size

  9. GEOSTAT 2 project as the spatial reference framework for statistics and censuses Goals: • Recommendations on a system of geocoded address and dwelling points for official statistics • Continue EFGS activities • Duration from 2015-2016 Source: Statistics Sweden

  10. GEOSTAT 3 (under discussion) – a statistical-geospatial framework for the ESS • Full georeferencing of administrative and statistical data • Consistent system of statistical geographies (NUTS, grids, etc) • Metadata • Recommendations for official spatial statistics products Source: Australian Bureau of Statistcs

  11. UN-GGIM and the ESS • Integration of statistical and geospatial information as one priority of UN-GGIM • Monitoring sustainable development using combined statistical-geospatial information • UN-GGIM committee of experts • Expert group on the integration of statistical and geospatial information

  12. UN-GGIM: Europe • Eurostat an observer in the executive committee representing the ESS • Work plan from 2015 – 2018 • Two Working Groups: • A on core data (2016/2018) • B on the integration of statistical and geospatial information • Potential further working group on monitoring sustainable development • European Forum for Geography and Statistics (EFGS) observer in UN-GGIM: Europe

  13. Tasks for Work Group B: Data Integration Definition of the priority user needs for combinations of data (Mid-2015). Recommendation for methods implementing the prioritised combinations of data (Mid-2016) Recommendation about how to manage side-effects induced by data combinations (Mid-2016) Activities of WG B since its constitution (11/2014) are summarized in the Report submitted to UN-GGIM: Europe 09/2015

  14. Country representation (1/2) About 15 countries from more than 20 organisations

  15. United Nations summit held from 25 to 27 September 2015 in New York released a new version of the UN SDG’s.

  16. The spatial dimension in the SDGs Sustainable management of water Safe and sustainable Cities Protect ecosystems

  17. Working group B recommendations • A European Spatial Data Strategybuilding on National Spatial Data Strategies • Prioritydatafor a spatialreferenceframeworkforstatistics -> link to Working Group A • Improvedworkflowsusinggeospatialtechnology

  18. Future ESS and Eurostat activities • UN-GGIM is a priority for Eurostat to make progress on the integration of statistics and geospatial information • ESSnet projects: GEOSTAT 2 and GEOSTAT 3 • Grants for projects on merging statistics and geospatial information • Development of a statistical-geospatial framework • Support to the European Forum for Geography and Statistics as the cooperation network of NSIs and NMCAs • Promotion of the Census 2020/21 as a flagship project for the integration of statistical and geospatial information
