First International Congress 'I SEE GEOMATICS': Mapping and Spatial Analysis of Socio-Economic and Environmental Indicators (ISEE) For the Local and Regional Sustainable Development (DDLR)

Aims and scope:

The Socio-Economic and Environmental Indicators (ISEE) allow to observe, to analyze the economic data and to measure their impact on the immediate environment and their contributions to the social networks. As example ISEE, we cite :

1-Exploitation rate of natural resources (water, oil, useful materials, etc),

2-Intensity of the energy consumption by sector (agriculture, industry and transport),

3- Net Migratory flows per governorate and per reason

4- Quality checking of the air in urban areas

5- Strengthening the adaptation to the climate change

6- Vulnerability of the coastal domain to the risk of marine submersion due to the sea-level rise, etc.

Within this framework, a case study of the local and re- gional sustainable development (LRSD) in Tunisia and particularly the region of Tataouine will be undertaken. A current state-of-the art of the ISEE is necessary to help guiding the investors in their actions on the basis of the geomatic approach and particularly the digital mapping as well as the spatial and temporal analysis of the ISEE.

Expectation:

The colloquium will provide a space to discuss the results of the undertaken researches in the digital mapping and its thematic and fundamental applications. It will also offer the opportunity of a national and international debate of experts on :

The study and the analysis of indicators;To emphasize the Public, Private and NGO Partnership To develop new per- spectives in the quality, the automation and broadcasting of the spatial information for the spatial analysis in a Web environment for a wide public “OPEN DATA”.

Co-organizers :

Governorate of Tataouine, Local authorities, South Office of Development (ODS), National Institute of Research of Arid zone (INRA), Tunisian Environmental Observatory and Sustainable development (OTEDD), Ministry of Equipment, Urbanization and Sustainable Development, Ministry of High Education Research and TIC, Sciences City of Tunis, High Institute of Technology study (ISET) and Academic home of Tataouine, International Center of Environmental Technology of Tunis (CITET), Tunisian Association of Applied Geology (ATGA), National Office of Mines (ONM), Cadastral and Topography Office (OTC), National Center of Cartography and Remote Sensing (CNCT), Agency of Protection and Management of Littoral (APAL), National Agency of Environmental Protection (ANPE).
