Abstract
Piloting NSDI in Mongolia
The Government of Mongolia is making the first steps to establish National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) to facilitate data collection, sharing, exchange and distribution that will eventually lead to improved governmental services to the society. The Government has planned to formulate policy document, create the legislative framework and start the collection of the base data for NSDI. Within this effort, the Agency for Land Affairs, Geodesy & Cartography has implemented a pilot project for base data collection for NSDI in Darkhan-Uul province of Mongolia. The pilot project dealt with the collection of base data, enhancement of the existing database, WebGIS, 3D modeling using satellite images and use of the data in the cadastral activities. This pilot project was implemented by a team of land & geo-information consultants using open source software such as Linux, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, QuantumGIS, MapServer. This presentation will provide short information on Government policy to establish NSDI and details of the pilot geospatial base data collection project implemented in Darkhan-Uul province of Mongolia from January to April, 2013.

Abstract
Vietnam NSDI Strategic Plan
In Vietnam, the development of new technology allows us capture, process, and store a large amount of geographical and spatial information such as Cadastral maps, Marine hydrographic Maps, Digital Topographic Maps as well as Geo-spatial databases. Especially, we have completed a database of topographic map 1/10.000 covering all the territory. However, so far Vietnamese government only concentrates in making geo-spatial data. Data duplication and data sharing are becoming problems for the State companies, where are responsible for managing geo-spatial data. The establishment of NSDI in Vietnam is getting very important. Vietnam is in the beginning period for NSDI. Vietnam Department of Survey and Mapping, belonged to Vietnam Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) was assigned to be the main responsible department for the establishment of NSDI in Vietnam. In order to prepare for a Master plan, a strategic plan was proposed, in which a National NSDI Committee will be established and some projects about managing geo-spatial data were also recommend. In this presentation, brief information about current conditions of NSDI in Vietnam will be presented.

Abstract
Creating New Value to the Architectural Administration: The convergence of architectural information and spatial information – KAIS case in Korea KAIS (Korea Architecture Information System) is the systems which provide whole process of architectural administration, and building’s lifetime management service. AIS is the very first Architectural Administration system and it have consist and provide services for civil petitioners, qualified architects and government officials. Since then it evolved to intelligent services (U-AIS) as internet based e-AIS and rule-based review of legality. After 2012, Intelligent Architectural Administration System using spatial information, supported civil complaint review function and map based building permission status inquiry service.In 2013, this pilot-system is scheduled expand to 72 self-governing bodies including Seoul Metropolitan, Kyunggi Province and Busan area.Secondly, when architect need cadastral information for building design, AIS provide that files to that person through the computerized cadastral file offering service. The architect who received that file will draw layout of building onto the cadastral file and It integrate building and land information. This integrated file updates old file which have offered to the architect, through the computerized cadastral file offering service. Starting with these services KAIS will progress further on space information based Architectural Administration System.

Abstract
Law Enforcement of Geospastial Information in Indonesia
In recent years, the term of "Geospatial Information" became so familiar in Indonesia. Especially after Law Number 4 Year 2011 on Geospastial Information existed at 21st April 2011. Geospatial Information is an important part to create an information system that can be used to support public sector. The government and private can used these information to plan, implement, development evaluation, and decision making. Today, besides economical challenge, global challenges such as climate change, famine and drought, natural disasters and sustainable development become a main theme in Indonesia''s policy. And because Geospatial Information now become one of the policy making basis for Indonesian Government, regulation that rules Geospatial Information becomes a needs.This law Number 4 Year 2011 became a Indonesia milestone in geospatial information governance existing. The purpose of this law is to be a legal basis for geospatial information management in Indonesia. It contains how to manage geospatial information in Indonesia. In this law, there is five steps to manage Indonesia's gospatial information. They are Geospatial Data Collection, Geospatial Data and Information Processing, Geospatial Data and Information Storage and Security, Geospatial Data and Information Dissemination, and Geospatial Data and Information utilization. In order to realize geospatial information governance in Indonesia, one of part that must be notice is about the law enforcement. Without that, the law will just became a paper and the geospatial information governance that everyone dream can not become a reality and Indonesia can''t compete the global challenges.

Abstract
Land Use Change Prediction with Big Data Big Data is emerging as a new source to discover insight to solve complicated issues and to predict the future because it is collective intelligence of billions of people’s thoughts, opinion, behavior and plan. Big data characterized by volume, velocity and variety are created not only on web search engine, social media, blog etc. but also on computers for public services such as the electronic government. Technologies and methodologies are required for web crawling, mining, storage, managing and visualization. Land use change prediction is crucial for effective urban growth management by preventing urban sprawl or unplanned development. Land transaction data in undeveloped area is a good source for predicting land use change for growing city because land conversion is likely to occur in the transacted land. In other words, land developers need to purchase agricultural and forest land to develop for urban use and the spatiotemporal pattern of land transactions in this case is not normal. Developers want to save time cost by purchasing land as soon as possible and this creates land transactions clustered spatially and temporarily. In this presentation, I will brief the concept of big data and a couple of applications, and present the spatiotemporal pattern analysis method to predict land use change prediction in a growing city in South Korea.

Abstract
Managing Big Spatial Data with Process Automation
National spatial data holdings are critical to decision making and depend on accurate and up-to-date information which has been managed to a guaranteed standard. Organisations (such as National Mapping and Cadastral Agencies, utilities companies, defence and government departments) that create and maintain these big spatial data holdings face a number of important challenges, including: operating efficiently in a competitive and demanding environment; being flexible and innovative in a rapidly changing marketplace; managing the size and complexity of these big spatial data holdings with a high rate of real-world change; and ensuring they produce high-quality and accurate data products and services. As a result of these challenges, many organisations are evolving from being suppliers of traditional mapping products generated from legacy cartographic databases, to being authoritative suppliers of rich, intelligent data and data services from real-word feature databases. This evolution challenges conventional data management approaches. Using real life case studies this session shows how creating and managing big spatial data holdings through process automation can help organisations to efficiently accommodate high levels of real-world change; rapidly derive new data products and services in response to changing needs and demands; and consistently manage data quality and accuracy to guaranteed standards.

Abstract
Implementation of Smart City in Korea - Ubiquitous City
“Ubiquitous City” (also known as U-City) is the brand name of Korean smart city. After city grown, there have been many urban problems including traffic congestion, crime, natural disaster, environment problem, and etc. Korean government constructs an ambitious strategy to solve various urban problems with the help of cutting-edged Information and Communication Technology. The term “Ubiquitous City” emerged first in 2004. The object of U-City is to create city where any citizen can get any services anywhere and anytime through ubiquitous technology to increase citizen’s quality of life. This concept attracts large attention from academic, politic, and research field in Korea. Finally, the “Act on Ubiquitous City Construction” became effective from March 2008 by the government. Based on this law, more than 40 cities have planned or constructed “ubiquitous city”. Korean government also has supported ubiquitous city project with various ways including comprehensive planning, R&D investment, human resource development, technology and service development, testbed construction, and etc. In this presentation, I will give an overview of Korean policy for ubiquitous construction. After the introduction of the policy, current status of ubiquitous city in Korea will be presented.

Abstract
Open-Source Geospatial Software, Education and Research
This presentation firstly provides a lightning overview of the breadth of quality geospatial open source applications, which are available for the full range of geospatial use cases, including storage, publishing, viewing, analysis and manipulation of data. It is based upon documentation from OSGeo-Live, which is a self-contained DVD, USB thumb drive and Virtual Machine, based on Xubuntu. It includes close to 50 of the best geospatial, open source applications, pre-configured with data, project overviews and quick-starts, translated into multiple languages. It is an excellent tool for demonstrating GeoSpatial Open Source, using with tutorials and workshops, or providing to potential new users. It reflects the tremendous growth in open-source geospatial technology over the last few decades. However, there has been little efforts to develop curricula in education institutions to keep pace with the changes. In 2011, OSGEO foundation and International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed an MoU to develop collaboration opportunities on a global basis for academia, industry and government organisations in open source GIS software and data. Just over a year, a network of 20 participating laboratories on six continents had already been established, and more are in the process of being established.The second part of this presentation is to introduce this exciting development of the ICA-OSGEO lab network worldwide.
