7th FIG Regional Conference - "Spatial Data Serving People" with sub-themes: "Land Governance and the Environment - Building the Capacity"
19-22 October 2009
Hanoi, Vietnam 

"Viet Nam has developed its own National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) based on digital topographic data base at the scale 1/50,000 and cadastral data base covering the whole country, including the National PermanentGPS network andSPOT5 receiving station. The NSDI of Viet Nam has been effectively serving the control of natural resources exploitation, the environment protection and the forecast of natural disasters and consequences of climate changes. Moreover, the NSDI of Viet Nam plays a vital role in bridging the information
gap between the Government and its citizen, pushing for administrative reform and protecting people's rights and benefits towards lands. Hence, the theme of this conference has been carefully selected to reflect the topic of SPATIAL DATA SERVING PEOPLE. We believe that this theme is especially relevant to the tasks of surveyors in this day and age when humankind is closer to each other than ever, working together towards a sustainable development and ensuring our Earth is everlasting green."
