Vol.3 Sep-25,2017➢ Participate Geospatial Expo2017
AIGID will participate in Geospatial Expo2017 under the name “Gspatial information center (GsC).” Geospatial Expo2017, which isbeing held this October, is a collaborative effort of private, academic,
and public groups for the realization of the “Geospatial society”
where everyone can effectively utilize geospatial information, andprovides an opportunity to enhance the efficient use of geospatial
information and satellite positioning.
（Geospatial EXPO） http://www.g-expo.jp/➢ Exhibit booth at the forum
We will operate an exhibit booth at the Geospatial EXPO2017 forum
to introduce the GsC, celebrating its first anniversary, as theimplementer of an easy-to-use platform for anyone to search andaccess geospatial information, and we will also introduce our mostrecent activities.
➢ Opening G-spatial information center user meeting
We will hold a user meeting at one of the lecture symposiums ofGeospatial EXPO 2017, which will be divided into several sessions
based on various uses of geospatial data. At each session,
experienced users of geospatial information will promote introducepractical examples of geospatial information utilization.

We were very saddened to hear about all of the people who suffered damage from the Northern Kyushu heavy rain
(Kyushu disaster) in July 2017.
As we mentioned in our previous newsletter, we signed an agreement in advance with data providers and data users sothat related data will be flexibly and quickly accessible in times of major disaster. Based on this agreement, we updated
the GsC website and released probe vehicle data map from PIONEER CORPORATION beginning the day after the Kyushu
disaster occurred, and proceeded to upload links to pages of aerial photos taken by private aerial survey companies,simple picture map images, and a tile format data picture map. We also updated our top page with special topics on thisdisaster. As a result, the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) listed and provided aprobe vehicle data map on their own website’s ‘e community platform’. Fukuoka prefecture obtained a probe vehicle data
map through our website and used it to plan heavy machine transportation. Kyushu University obtained web map datafrom the GsC and provided it along with information from the Kyushu geospatial information portal web site and map
information from additional institutions. The GsC will continue its efforts to achieve a ‘Japan-wide disaster response
information hub’ that will manage and provide data from public, academic, research, volunteer, and NPO/NGO sources
with fairness and transparency.
