1 Creating synergies between Statistical and Geospatial information for better policy outputs: The case of Mexico Geospatial & Statistics Integration for Informed Decision Making Geospatial World Forum 2017 Rolando Ocampo Alcántar INEGI - Mexico

2 THE SYNERGIES

3 Synergies from integrated Socio-Demographic and Geospatial Information

4 Urban Cartographic database Benefits Update of the national geostatistical framework Provides support for censuses and surveys Update of the National cartographic database Support for the activities of the Units of State Strengthens the Public Information Service Information sources Administrative records Information from INEGI Satellite images and pictures Every three years Update the 2,234 localities that represent 80% of the country s population.

5 National Housing Inventory

6 The aim is to have the geographical location in the National Geostatistical Framework of all buildings where basic and special education are taught. Education Atlas

7 Allows to know the situation of the installed infrastructure, the services, the equipment and school furniture of each educational building. Education Atlas

8 Synergies from integrated Economic and Geospatial Information

9 Census Operational Process Module 1: Operational Planning Module 3: Monitoring, progress and geographical coverage Module 2: Mapping Module Module 4: Closure Influence areas KML Format Cartographic udpate Cross layers

10 A comprehensive national business registry Economic Units: 4. 9 million National Statistical Directory of Economic Units

11 Operational stages of the Agricultural Census Printed and Digital Cartographic Package Design of Informatics applications Field verification of divided land Delivery of Satellite Images Incorporation of divided land and plots of the RAN to the layer of the Agriculture Census Planning Survey Operational planning module Cartographic module to update the census frame Monitoring, progress and geographic coverage module 337 Technicians in cartography 64 Orthoimagery Digitalization Validation Integration 1239 Spot images Results - Update of the: Census frame Producers directory

12 Synergies from integrated Environmental and Geospatial Information

13 Land Use and Vegetation Map

14 Big Data for the environment Modelling meteorological data to identify climate change trends over the last century Mapping of 5,454 individual meteorological stations, with temperature and rainfall data from the last 100 years. Pilot Project proposed by Mexico within the WG on Big Data for official statistics (Task Team on Satellite Imagery, Remote Sensing and Geospatial Information).

15 Annual Operation Certificate COA Web An online tool for the official reporting of emissions and pollutant transfers to air, water, soil, land and hazardous materials and waste, from industries and establishments from all productive sector Reporting is compulsory and free of charge. Information is validated and updated in real time

16 Annual Operation Certificate COA Web All information about the location of the industries is geo-referenced, considering Technical Geographic Standards (Geographic Addresses) Currently, COA has a >70% coverage of the industry universe in all of Mexico - Chemical, petroleum, automotive, pulp & paper, metal, glass, electric power generation, asbestos, cement, hazardous waste treatment, etc; - Waste management providers, - Those discharging wastewater into national water bodies, or - Those emitting 25,000 tones or more of CO2 or equivalent compounds - Greenhouse Gases (GHG) Transport, agricultural, trade & services, etc.

17 System on Climate Change Public online geospatial application. Open formats and international standards for interoperability. Objective: Integrate, update and make available the geographical and statistical information on climate change generated in México. 23 Information layers / 5 Thematic maps. 83 variables and 5 indicators.

18 System on Climate Change

19 Synergies for the State Units

20 Mexico s Functional Regionalization Inter-sectoral and intergovernmental articulation Identification of potentialities Promotion of public and / or private investments that generate local and regional development Identification of areas of opportunity for improvement and infrastructure at the regional level Promotion of economic development and welfare Decrease in inequality gaps 55 urban-rural systems 94 millions= 84% total popoulation of the country Fuente: Elaboración DGDR, SEDATU 2015

23 Gender Atlas 46 Gender-related indicators (geo-referenced) 10 main areas: General population Education Health Labor Decision making Use of time Poverty Entrepreneurship Violence % Indigenous population

24 North America Energy Map North American Cooperation on Energy Information

25 Geographic energy information: Renewable Power Plants, 1 MW or more

26 Geographic energy information: Tools to display detailed view and individual facility information

27 WIND FARM STUDY Case of study Wind farm Oaxaca INEGI - Mexican Wind Energy Association (AMDEE). The information will be useful for economic issues and economic evaluations. Harnessing the geographical tools (e.g. Digital Map of Mexico developed by INEGI).

30 THE PLATFORM Digital Map of Mexico Open-source geomatic platform that allows the visualization and analysis of geographic and georeferenced statistical information that contains: 208 vector data layers More than 71 million geographic objects 4 raster layers covering the entire country.

31 National Geostatistical Framework Terrain Data Water Infrastructure Potected Natural Areas Geology Cartographic Framework Geodesy Hydrographic Features Surface and Groundwater Cadastre of Social Property Floors Geostatistical Codes Reefs, perpetual snow and salt Roads AVAILABLE INFORMATION Fango, Flood, Sandy and Marshy Geographical Addresses Geographical Names Orthophotos Energy Resource Mangroves and Wetlands Land use and vegetation Localities Hydrographic Sense of Roads Climates Physiography Satellite Images National Road Network

32 MxSIG MxSIG is the open source software platform developed by INEGI to implement geomatics solutions for the web such as the Digital Map of Mexico, and is publicly available. The purpose of these solutions is to facilitate the use, integration, interpretation, publication and analysis of geographic information and georeferenced statistical information.

33 Conclusions Geospatial Information, Earth Observations, Big Data and Statistics can and should be integrated in support of national policies and the implementation of international agreements Geospatial information facilitates the monitoring of social, economic and environmental indicators to support, design and monitor public policies Powerful synergies emerge in the production and use of geography and statistics Integration facilitates location & assessment of policy/sdg progress over time Institutional capacity and inter-institutional coordination matters Participation from all sectors of society is key, including academia, civil society and the private sector
