IIRSA Information Needs
PREMISE: Integrated regional information, developed in accordance with shared standards, at different resolutions, and of consistent quality facilitates the decision-making process.
Spatial information in South America is fraught with the following flaws:
• There exist information gaps
• Information is not always capable of being integrated across borders
• Few regional standards have been established
• Information is hard to find and access
• Duplication of data generation efforts is common
• . . . . . .

Creating an Integrated Base Map of Central America
n A project financed by the Pan American Institute of Geography and History
n Objective – Develop a 1:250,000-scale integrated regional map of Central America with the joint participation of representatives from the national geographical institutes of seven countries (Central America, Mexico)
n First Workshop – Venue: Heredia, Costa Rica. August 2011 n Second Workshop – Venue: El Salvador. November 2011 n Third and Last Workshop – to be defined.

Central American Workshop on Data Integration and Technical Training
n Advances l Geographers from each Central American country and
Mexico brought to the workshop 1:250,000-scale official data and, working collaboratively, helped their neighboring countries to integrate seven themes within a set of regional data.
n Deliverables
l Develop integrated information to be subsequently published in a Regional Map Service
l Harmonize features, attributes and generalizations

Proposed Lines of Actions
n Support in the production of South American regional base maps
n Support in the production and dissemination of South American infrastructure maps
n Establishment of a regional information platform for COSIPLAN
n Technical assistance for the development of geospatial services by national institutions participating in COSIPLAN
n Training in the use of GIS technologies and geospatial tools in general
n Development of new applications
n Evaluation of the use of cloud hosting for geospatial services

Support in the production of a South American regional base map
n Identification of base maps to be developed: positioning network, terrain, populated places, hydrography, political/administrative borders, land use/coverage, roads
n Definition of the work methodology (e.g. scales, glossary, spatial representation, etc.)
n Drafting of an inventory of the national base maps available at the geographical institutes of the region
n Organization of workshops to harmonize the data in border areas and standardize classification systems
n Drawing of integrated regional maps; verification by the participating bodies
n Hosting of the maps in the COSIPLAN regional map service

Possible Applications of the Proposed Geographic Platform
n Analysis of the hydroelectric potential in any South American country having reliable hydrological data
n Adjustment of the visibility analysis tool to be used in planning the South American Connectivity Network
n Quick assessment of the impact of infrastructure projects (Cóndor module)
n Modeling of the actual length of existing roads for repaving and road improvement projects
n Determination of areas subject to landslide or flooding hazards for the alignment of new roads (PSI project)
n Adaptation of the project planning platform developed by ITC, the Netherlands (open source SW) to the region
n Collaboration with CSIRO to ensure “water balance” in South America (source: 30-meter SRTM data and other)
