FIG Commission 1 Workshop
16-18 September 2020, Deqing, Zhejiang Province, China
This Workshop is organized by FIG Commission 1 jointly with the
People's Government of Deqing County, China.
The theme of the Workshop is Professional Standards and Practice of
Surveying and Mapping in the countries along the Belt and Road Routes.
There will be world-renowned speakers to deliver their expert views on
contemporary surveying standards and practices and how to lucratively
apply them the development of countries along these Routes alongside the
Belt and Road Initiative. The Workshop will also be a valuable forum for
delegates coming from all over the world to exchange and share their
experience and knowledge on standards and practices for various survey and
mapping activities with particular emphasis on countries along the Belt
and Road Routes.
The Belt and Road Initiative is a significant development strategy
launched by the Chinese government with the intention of promoting
economic co-operation. It is intended to enhance the orderly free-flow of
economic factors and the efficient allocation of resources, as well as to
further market integration and create a regional economic co-operation
framework of benefit to all. Within the scope of this Initiative there are
five routes spanning over 60 countries in Asia, Africa and Europe, with
over 60% of the whole world population living therein. To cater for the
survey and mapping needs of this mega endeavour, surveyors are facing
enormous challenges to provide quality surveying and mapping services in
exploiting the state-of- the-art technology and to develop innovative
ideas to further advance survey and mapping services.
FIG sees that it is opportune time to have a critical look at the
standards and practice in surveying and mapping as adopted by various
surveying organizations with a view to modernizing and enhancing these
standards and practices to better meet the changing environment and needs,
particularly as we are entering into the age of geospatial data.
