The strategic value of territorial information

In the framework of the presentation of the Canary Islands Geological Map, the Technical Conferences The Strategic Value of Territorial Information. The fundamental axis of the same will focus on Geographic information, Which as a rational and coherent means of knowledge of the terrestrial physical environment and its evolution over time, constitutes a Strategic instrumental element For the planning and the previous study of human actions on the territory, as well as for the intervention or the transformation of the same.

The event will be in Tenerife - Canary Islands on July 4 and 5, 2012. It really is a striking and interesting confluence of presentations where the need, progress and challenges in inter-institutional data management on topics such as:

• Crops
• Environment
• Risks
• Production and dissemination of Geographical information
• Registers and Cadastre
• Urban planning
• Infrastructure inventories
• Census of population
• Economic and budgetary information

Apart from the local presentations, exhibitors from Mexico, China, Italy and Cape Verde will be participating. The space that the gvSIG Foundation wins in its dissemination strategy is also significant with a presentation on the importance of taking advantage of free technologies in the management of spatial information.

In the opening ceremony, the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME) will present the Canary Islands Geological Map and attendees of the opening ceremony will be presented with a copy of this publication, later the day will include the following topics and debates:
