The third activity under the project was an expert meeting held in Vienna from 3 to 5 December 2012 with a specific focus on how space-based technologies can contribute to the work of the volunteer and technical communities and the need to define more clearly how tobring together the many areas involved in supporting crowdsource mapping activities.
Report on the International Expert Meeting on Crowdsource Mapping for Disaster Risk Management and Emergency Response, held in Vienna from 3 to 5 December 2012 I. Introduction.
In the plenary sessions, introductory presentations were used to provide an overview of the various topics to be discussed andan opportunity for the three communities(crowdsource mapping, disaster management and space technology) to brief participants about their fields of expertise.
The UN-SPIDER programme should focus more broadly on crowdsource mapping instead of just crisis mapping, ensuring the support of the volunteer and technical communities for the full disaster risk management cycle.
Building upon the conclusions of the discussions carried out during the first expert meeting, and more specifically the possible contribution of the UN-SPIDER programme, the experts participating in the second meeting reviewed actions that could contribute to ensuring an increase in the access anduse of space-based information to support crowdsource mapping activities to the benefit of the end-users.
The experts also discussed the information needs of the crowdsource mapping communities, including specific information areas of interest and the existence of available core datasets.
Better understanding about the strengths and opportunities of the three communities(crowdsource mapping, disaster management and emergency response, and space technology) was considered helpful in this regard.
Bringing together the three communities(crowdsource mapping, disaster management and space technology communities) to discuss their fields of expertise provided an opportunity to better understand the questions being asked and the ways that space-based technologies could contribute to solving them.
In particular and as noted in the report of the Secretariat on space-based information for crowdsource mapping(A/AC.105/1007), UN-SPIDER is taking a leading role in harnessing the potential of crowdsource mapping for the benefit of countries in need.
Bringing together the three communities(crowdsource mapping, disaster management and emergency response, and space technology) to share information about their areas of expertise provided an opportunity to better understand the questions being asked and how space-based technologies could contribute to answering them.
The plenary sessions provided an overview of the various topics to be discussed andan opportunity for the three communities(crowdsource mapping, disaster management and space technology) to learn about their respective innovative fields of expertise. One ignite talk session was arranged with.
