Develop regulations on sharing and common use of cartographic data 

The Institute of Geodesy and Cartography has just accepted the topic "Research on scientific basis and practice for the development of regulations on sharing and common use of geodetic and cartographic data". This is an important research topic that contributes to building a strong enough legal document system to manage the sharing and common use of cartographic data, which is still very new in Vietnam.

According to Dr. Dong Thi Bich Phuong, Project Manager, the topic has surveyed and evaluated the research results and management experience of developed countries and countries with similar conditions to Vietnam in terms of sharing and common use. cartographic data and geographic information; analyze and evaluate legal documents related to sharing and common use of geodesic and cartographic data; field survey sharing, common use of geodesic and map data, and user needs investigation.

After conducting the research, the research team has identified organizational, financial, technical and intellectual property solutions to ensure the sharing and common use of surveying and mapping data in accordance with the conditions. Vietnam. At the same time, develop a draft regulation on sharing and common use of geodetic and cartographic data.

Accordingly, the solutions that the research team has come up with to manage the sharing of data, surveying and mapping products are suitable for current conditions, which are: Building a national geospatial data infrastructure including policies, institutions, standards, technologies, data and resources to ensure the sharing and common use of geospatial data in general and data, surveying and cartographic products in particular. .

In addition, the State invests in the collection, updating, management, provision and sharing of basic and specialized measurement data and products on the principle of efficiency, avoiding waste, and sufficient to meet the needs of customers. development demand.

In particular, information, data, surveying and cartographic products must be collected, updated and provided fully, accurately and in a timely manner; managed to ensure long-term use and convenient exploitation and sharing.

Director of the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography Nguyen Phi Son assessed: The research results of the topic are the basis for the development of Decrees and regulations on sharing and common use of geodesic and cartographic data. scientific, suitable to reality to meet the requirements of State management, creating a favorable legal corridor for surveying and cartographic activities.

According to Mr. Nguyen Phi Son, surveying and mapping activities are being carried out in many different industries and fields such as: territorial planning, transportation, construction, irrigation, industry, agriculture and forestry. industry, land management, education and training, geology, environmental protection, tourism, communication, security and defense... Therefore, regulations on sharing and common use of measurement data and scientific cartography, suitable to reality to meet State management requirements, will create a favorable legal corridor for surveying and cartographic activities of related industries and fields, contributing to promoting promote socio-economic development and meet the needs of national security and defense in the period of industrialization and modernization of the country.
