Theme: GIS for Economic Development

 

Asia Pacific, one of the most distinct world regions in

terms of geography, culture and economic development,

is in the midst of a rapid change. This change, largely

an effect of globalization, is supported by the rapid

development, transmission and use of information and

knowledge. Effective economic development strategies

depend on answering a variety of questions such as the

spatial patterns of households, businesses and proposed

infrastructural facilities within a community, which are

primarily geographic in nature. Through demand for

services and inputs, economic development fosters job

growth, strengthens local industries, spurs demographic

changes, influences household spending patterns, and

raises the volume of income circulating throughout the

economy. The Second ESRI Asia Pacific User conference

aimed to discuss the economic, social and environmental

benefits of geographic information systems.

 

Venue:

 

The conference was held at the Taj Palace Hotel Convention Centre. It is located in the heart of New

Delhi, 10 minutes from the city centre and airport. Delhi, India’s capital city; which is the cradle of civilization since times immemorial, going back thousands of years. The city is a fascinating mix of the ancient and the new age, of age-old tradition and modern living.
