10 Current activities on GIS in Japan ~ Activities on GIS based on GIS action program ~

11 Government goals < GIS Liaison Committee of Ministries and Agencies > GIS Action Program A total of 73 policies Formation of infrastructure environment 1. Standardization related NSDI, and initiative pioneering use by government 2. Establishment of systems / guidelines from the viewpoint of promoting digitization / distribution of geographic information 3. Promoting the digitization and provision of geographic information 4. Full-scale use and support of GIS Improve efficiency of government and enhance quality of government services using GIS 5. Improve efficiency of government and enhance quality of government services using GIS 6. Matters such as follow-ups on the plan

12 1. Promotion of standardization of NSDI (Promotion of the circulation of data by standardization) Promotion of standardization Incorporation of JSGI into the body of JIS Initiative efforts made by the government to utilize such standards Recent years, there has been a tendency toward increased utilization of these standards by the government, but such efforts need to be further promoted in the future. Compatibility with international standards Nationwide spread of G-XML Geographic Information Standards

13 Relationship with international standards Japanese Industrial Standards Circumstances in Japan Japanese Standards for Geographic Information (JSGI) were decided upon by the government. International Organization for Standardization ISO/TC211 Geographic information /Geomatics JIS X 7107 JIS X 7108 JIS X 7109 JIS X 7105 Compatibility and tests JIS X 7118 JIS X 7131 JIS X 7199:G-XML 19107: Spatial Schemata 19108: Temporal Schemata 19109: Rules for Application Schemata 19110: Method of Cataloging Natural Features 19111: Spatial Reference by Means of Coordinates 19112: Spatial Reference by Means of Physical Identifiers 19113: Quality Principles 19114: Quality Evaluation Procedures 19115: Metadata 19117: Plotting Methods 19118: Encoding 19123: Schema for Coverage Geometry and Function 19131: Data Product Specifications Joint research (by Geographical Survey Institute and private enterprises) Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Coordination 13 items Selected Compliance with ISO standards Integration / Proposing Work items :Compatibility and Tests 19107:Spatial Schemata TC211 Members of domestic committees / working groups items International standards

14 2. Establishment of System and Guidelines ( From the viewpoint of promoting digitization / distribution of geographic information ) Promotion of distribution of geographic information Guidelines on Provision of Information by Government (April 2003) Collection of Q&A regarding the above-mentioned guidelines (June 2004) Various problems, such as the following, to be solved Protection of personal information Infringement of copyright Secondary utilization etc. Digitization Development of setups / guidelines Electronic delivery Portal site of Liaison Committee of Ministries and Agencies Concerned with GIS

15 3. Promotion of digitization and provision of geographic information Matters such as promotion of computerization / provision of NSDI Digitization of spatial data Periodic updating of core geographic information that has been digitalized Promotion of provision of geographic information Clearinghouse Internet Provision Web mapping Geographic information is provided on the Internet.

16 Digital Maps 2500 (Spatial Data Infrastructure) Development of these maps was completed in FY 2000 for the urban planing areas in the whole of Japan. At present, these maps are published in the form of CD-ROM. In March 2002, Digital Maps 2500 started to be provided on the Internet. These maps conform to the Geographic Information Standards (JPGIS). This information was obtained by developing spatial data that is frequently utilized in GIS and by providing topological structures (which contain polygon information and network information, among others)

17 Detailed three-dimensional data were obtained. (Acquisition of data) GPS satellite Laser GPS ground station Digital image This is outline of obtaining of detailed three-dimensional data by Laser survey

18 Development of metadata and establishment of clearinghouse ~ Operation was started in FY ~ Geographic Information Clearinghouse Metadata retrieval system (Geographical Survey Institute) Q: Please search for data involving public facilities. A total of five sets of data were found. Location information will be transmitted. Public facilities 1 Public facilities 2 User Retrieval based on international standards Node server of Ministry A The data in question failed to be found Public facilities 1 Public facilities 2 Two sets of data were found. Node server of Ministry B Public facilities 3 Public facilities 4 Two sets of data were found. Node server of Ministry C Public facilities 5 One set of data was found. Node server of Ministry D Relevant ministries and agencies developed / registered metadata during FY Metadata registered in clearinghouse in advance, you can search the data you want.

19 4. Full-scale use and support of GIS Cooperation with local public bodies and assistance to local areas Introduction status of individual type GIS Introduction status of integration type GIS Prefectures FY 2005: 14 entities/47 FY 2004: 12 entities/47 Local public bodies have so many data that cooperation is very important. Municipalities FY 2003: 301 entities(9.6%) FY 2005: 297 entities(12.3%) Development and updating of shared spatial data are points of problem for introduction. Enrichment of GIS spreading activities A portal site of the GIS Liaison Committee of Ministries and Agencies was established. Local financial measures were made. (Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications) In 2004, 15 seminars were held through cooperation among ministries and agencies concerned.

20 Explanation of integration type GIS [Definition] This type of GIS is cross-sectional system such that those map data utilized by multiple bureaus / departments (such as data on roads, town blocks, buildings, and rivers). They are developed to be shared by multiple bureaus / departments. [Effects] Duplicate development of data can be prevented, thereby enhancing administrative efficiency and improving services for residents. Development of map data to be shared Facilities management charts Decision making on urban planning Confirmation of filing of applications Urban planning work Sewerage facilities Multiple departments in a local public body can utilize shared maps Sewerage work Roads Buildings Town blocks Others Stack of individual map data Emergency route land prices Facility information Register information Bus route Instances of buying and selling Fixed asset work Welfare work Roadside Location of person to be rescued Other work

21 5. Utilization of GIS to improve efficiency of administration and realize high-quality services Realization of high-quality services by using GIS Realization of high-quality services is promoted in all administrative fields including disaster prevention, town-building, transportation, environment, and education Earthquake disaster prevention information system (DIS) Development of a system in which critical locations for traffic accidents are indicated on maps Statistics GIS Plaza Fire fighting system Forest GIS Disaster Prevention Information Providing Center Cyber Japan Web System Environment Biodiversity information system etc. High-quality administrative services utilizing GIS Transportation Disaster prevention Education Town-building

22 Examples of earthquake Disaster prevention Information System (DIS) Early damage Estimation System (EES) The damage will be grasped within 30 minutes from the occurrence of disaster. Emergency Measures support System (EMS) Example of estimation of damage (Seismic intensity distribution) Information on stop of gas supply by Tokyo Gas Co. Ltd. Grasping the damage situation or the supply stop situation unitarily. This is a system to make use for first action of government.
