USING THE MAPSERVER IN THE COOK ISLANDS

PacINET 2008 Conference

Timoti TangiruaineMOW

the Cook Islands Mapserver is hosted at www.maps.gov.ck

AGENDA

o EDF Project Backgroundo MOW’s Association with EDF9

o MOW ICT Initiativeso MOW Partnerships

o What is a Mapservero Current Technology advancements

o Challenges for development

the Cook Islands Mapserver is hosted at www.maps.gov.ck

EDF BACKGROUND

o Funded by the European Union and implemented through SOPAC.

o The objective is to strengthen integrated development in Pacific ACP States by concentrating on three key focal areas in the island system:n hazard mitigation and risk assessment; n aggregates for construction; n and water resources supply and sanitation.

o The goal of the Project is to address vulnerability reduction in the Pacific ACP States through the development of an integrated planning and management system, Island Systems Management.

EDF BACKGROUND

o GIS based.o Data will be available on a Map Server.

o Will collaborate with local and regional partners.o The Project will address problems such as: n unavailability of accurate and timely data; n weak human resource base; n limited resources (money and infrastructure); n and lack of appropriate management plans, policies and

regulatory frameworks to deal with these three focal areas.

o The Cook Islands Mapserver was commissioned in Oct/Nov 2006 which includes Training Workshops conducted by SOPAC.

MOW’S ASSOCIATION WITH EDF9o MAPPPING AGENCYn The Survey Land Information (formerly, Department of

Survey) division of MOW is the principle agency for mapping in the Cook Islands.

n Survey, amongst other land management and mapping/charting functions, is responsible for providing the base maps for use in mapping data integration.

o INFRASTRUCTURE MAPPING DATA SOURCEn The Water Works, because of it’s responsibility to plan and

manage our water reticulation system, is a major producer of planning mapping data.

n The Building Control, because of its responsibility in regulating the building industry for design and construction, is also a major producer of planning and issue analysis data.

WHAT IS A MAPSERVER

o Software;n Mandriva Linux as the OSn Tikiwiki Content Management Systemn Mapserver

o Hardware;n HP-Proliant Server

the Cook Islands Mapserver is hosted at www.maps.gov.ck

KEY BENEFITS: MapInfo

o Ability to access datasets using MapINFO Web Service.n MapINFO 8.5 software provides the means of accessing

mapping data online through a web service called WMS and WFS.

n Given the appropriate URL, a MapINFO user can access selected datasets online.

n This can be overlaid with local information.

KEY BENEFITS

o Provide updated mapping info from a central point.o Form of data sharing with data sharing protocols

implemented.

CHALLENGE TO DEVELOPMENT

o Bandwidth costs and speed is poor in all Pacific Island Countries.

o Requires both ICT and GIS expertise to manage Mapserver for a certain country. Most pacific island countries do not have both professions.

o Tikiwiki is a bit a hard to change its graphical interface to make map server more attractive.

NEXT STEPS

o By recognizing the importance of mapping data integration, implement the Satellite Imagery and Mapping Projection project ASAP.

o As a commitment to the National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP), promote data gathering and sharing by the development of a data sharing protocol.
