During July 2, 3, and 4, in La Plata, the XIX IDERA (Spatial Data Infrastructure of the Argentine Republic) Conference will be held.
Since 2007, the IDERA Conference has been a meeting space to share experiences, developments, implementations, and public and private initiatives linked to the management of geospatial information, in the context of strengthening spatial data infrastructures.
The Municipality of Concordia will be present to showcase the various public policies it has been carrying out in this regard, through the Undersecretariat of Decentralization, which reports to the Government Secretariat.
Sebastián Scévola, Director of Spatial Data Infrastructure (IDE Concordia), explained that this conference “is a meeting space to share experiences, developments, and initiatives, whether public, private, or academic, all linked to the management of spatial information.”
Basically, it is the management of data “that has a location in space, so, in the urban environment, it means they have coordinates; it is like imagining the city in a 3D format,” he added.
As concrete examples of application, Scévola cited recent cases in Concordia such as the management of information related to the flooding of the Uruguay River with data such as where the families that may be affected are located, the levels the water may reach, and where the drainage systems are, among others.
“Data management is useful in various fields, including environmental, social, health, economic, and especially infrastructure,” allowing for efficient resource management by using territorial data for decision-making.
Finally, Scévola announced that the presentation at the conference will be “IDE Concordia: Projecting an intelligent geospatial ecosystem for public management. We present the case of Concordia as a real example of how a municipality can build an intelligent geospatial ecosystem based on real data, free software, and innovation in public management.”
