  1. Spatial Data Management in the Caribbean Bishwa Pandey Sr. Data Management Specialist The World Bank bpandey@worldbank.org

  2. Flooding after Hurricane Earthquake Haiti

  3. Typhoon Haiyan - The Philippines

  4. Building resilience and better decision-making Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC ) region is one of the most vulnerable region with respect to natural disasters 20 countries in LAC region have half of the GDP exposed to natural disasters Damages due to natural hazards happen because of HOW and WHERE we build The key is using geospatial data in decision making process

  5. Exiting Spatial Data Situation in the Caribbean Data challenges Availability Access Quality Format Vintage Use No comprehensive Data Sharing mechanism

  6. Meaning of Data Depends on Context We are here The Pale Blue Dot - Image of Earth taken on 1990 by Voyager from 6 billion kms away

  7. Treating Spatial Data as a National Asset Policy/Guidelines/Standards National Policy Data Inventory Quality Relevance Data Gap Resource/Capacity inventory Data Inventory

  8. Collaboration Framework of Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) End Users Data Provider Data maintenance Line Ministries Line Ministries Data Platform IT support Other Sectors NGOs/Private Sectors/Users Other Sectors NGOs/Private Sectors/Users

  9. Open Data & the World Bank The World Bank recognizes that transparency and accountability are essential to the development process and central to achieving the Bank’s mission to alleviate poverty. As a knowledge institution, the World Bank’s first step is to share its knowledge freely and openly.

  10. Open Data for Resilience Initiative (OpenDRI) The Open Data for Resilience Initiative (OpenDRI) is a global partnership that aims to encourage and facilitate the sharing and use of climate, disaster and other geospatial data to enable more effective decision-making by providing the rationale, technical assistance, and tools for data sharing.

  11. Caribbean OpenDRI • Current Activities to promote • OpenDRI • Institutional Support • Technical Support • Innovation • Capacity Building • Knowledge Exchange • Partnership Haiti Belize Dominica St. Lucia SVG Grenada Guyana Countries Currently engaged One of the largest community of practitioners with over 150 active community members

  12. Six Pillars of OpenDRI Institutional Support Technical Support Innovation Capacity Building Knowledge Exchange Partnership

  13. Capacity Building Two regional workshops have been conducted on data management practices in the Caribbean.

  14. Knowledge management and exchange Strong community of practitioners - about 80 active participants (around 150 in total) Webinars Continuous engagement with community of practitioners

  15. OpenDRI Tools GeoNode - Collaborative data sharing InaSAFE - Deterministic risk analysis CAPRA - Probabilistic risk assessment QGIS – Open Source Desktop GIS OSM - Participatory mapping Open Data Tool Kit – Mobile data collection

  16. Exposure DatabaseSpatial Data layers and attributes Location, Footprints (Buildings, Assets) Primary characteristics – Geometry, 0rientation, construction class, occupancy, roof types, roof geometry, roof slope, roof built, wall, stories, age, foundation, ornamentation … etc Secondary characteristics - Soft story, Pounding by nearby buildings, loose debris, Trees, Large missile object, Terrain roughness, Irregular structure, Retrofit, Glass material type… etc

  17. Creating a Exposure GIS Database SVG, Situation of St Mary's RC School (Source: INES Ing.; June 2013) Dominica, GIS database schools (Source: Dominode)

  18. Today’s Take

  19. Exposure Data Collection Field Data Collection Using GPS and paper based form Using Smartphones Using the data Download/upload collected field data Visualization and interpretation of data

  20. Quantum GIS (QGIS) Open Source Desktop GIS with rich functionalities Has Multiple plugins to connect and interoperate with Desktop and mobile Systems Easy to use www.qgis.org for free download of the software and documentation

  21. What is common on all of these? GPS

  22. How Global Positioning System (GPS) Works • Space-based satellite navigation system, • Location and time information in all weather, • Anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites, • Freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver. • US Government - NAVSTAR • Russian - GLONASS • Europe - Galileo Under implementation • China and India Under implementation

  23. Data collection using smartphones A new frontier in (GIS) data collection?

  24. What is wrong in these pictures?

  25. Traditional Field Survey Post Processing of Data + + + Matching and downloading Desktop post-processing Upload to Server

  26. Mobile Data Collection - What is it? Create you own data collection form Collect (real time) data using smartphone Store data (offline) on smartphone and/or send it to server for publishing/sharing

  27. From fieldwork to your server Use of Smartphone in capturing real time data

  28. Why do we need it? Real time data Efficiency in data collection Complete integration Data driven application
