CEOS WGISS Preliminary Workshop on Data Access and Integration: Global and Regional SDI and Client Perspectives
Pilot scale feasibility study on an Earth space information
network• Long-term objective: Operational Earth space
information network• Immediate objective: Pilot-scale Earth space
information network over Internet• To meet requirement:
– better access to metadata and browser files– more equitable distribution of data– ready access to data for sustainable
development and natural hazards
Second Ministerial Conference on Space Applications
• Taking into account recommendations of UNISPACE III
• Delhi Declaration launched the second phase of Regional Space Applications Programme for Sustainable Development
• Strategy and Action Plan as overall guidance for implementation of RESAP II
Objective of RESAP II
• Focus on optimizing human and financial resources
• Promote applications of space technology
• Promote integration of space applications with sustainable development planning
• Enhance regional cooperation
Recommendations of Ministrerial Conference for RESAP II
• Executed under existing but strengthened network
• Facilitate equitable sharing of benefits of space technology development and applications
• Least developed countries be involved and provided with opportunities
• Structured Minimum Common Programme (MCP)– Core of RESAP II– Minimum number of common denominator projects– Cover possible most countries – Synergize efforts to essential elements
Recommendations for RESAP II -- Minimum Common Programme
• Environment and natural resource management
• Food security and agriculture systems• Capacity building• Human resource development and education• Poverty alleviation• Natural disaster reduction• Health care and hygiene• Sustainable development planning
Recommendations for RESAP II -- Minimum Common Programme
Promote operationalization of space applications
- Human resource development
- Involvement of private sector, industry and
academia
- Strengthening of institutional frameworks
- Improvement of national coordination
mechanisms
- Emphasis on awareness of decision makers
Recommendations for RESAP II -- Minimum Common Programme
• Encourage establishment of regional spatial information infrastructure for sustainable development planning
• Space technology for develop spatial information network at both regional and national level
Recommendations for RESAP II
Technology cooperation projects:
• Joint regional small satellite programme
• Joint development of common payloads for small satellites
• Development of inexpensive ground receiving stations and data processing hardware and software
Preparation activities on implementation of RESAP II
• Regional Seminar on Development of Space Technology Applications for RESAP II
• Ad Hoc Expert Group Meeting on Space Applications on the Minimum Common Programme
• To identify common denominator projects (CDPs) under MCP
Proposed common denominator projects under MCP
• Development and applications of a multi-purpose environmental and natural resources information base for food security and sustainable development in ESCAP region
• Promoting regional cooperation for integrated coastal zone management
• Enhancing capacities for urban and rural development planning
• Disaggregated poverty mapping for Asia-Pacific region
• Capacity-building for disaster management
• Integrated land and water resources management
• Crop monitoring and agricultural production forecasting
• Potential offshore fishery area forecasting and inland aquaculture Planning
• Groundwater potential mapping and identification of recharge zones
• Environmental monitoring and analysis for health care and hygiene
Proposed common denominator projects under MCP
Proposed common denominator projects under MCP
• Development of multi-media materials for interactive tele-education
• Telemedicine for rural population• Technology cooperation for development of
inexpensive ground-receiving and processing stations for meteorological satellites direct broadcast data
• Joint cooperative research on precision farming
• Joint cooperative research on cropping system• Joint research on monsoon
Self-sustaining regional cooperative and supporting mechanism
• Regional level: – more national contact points for
Regional Working Groups• National level:
– greater involvement of academia in R&D, and commercial applications
– involvement of private sector industry• Promoting integration of space
applications with development planning
Self-sustaining regional cooperative and supporting mechanism
• Regional :– Identifying partners– Meet both development paradigms and
focus of funding institutions and development agencies and common requirements of the countries
• National:– National projects: priority and requirement– In-kind contributions
Conclusion
• RESAP has established a three-tier regional cooperation network
• RESAP II will be implemented on the existing but strengthened network
• Cooperate with all interested funding institutions and development agencies to establish a self-sustaining mechanism for the implementation of RESAP II
