In the framework of the XIX IDERA (Spatial Data Infrastructure of the Argentine Republic) Conference, the Municipality of Concordia, through the Undersecretariat of Decentralization and the Directorate of Spatial Data Infrastructure, belonging to the Government Secretariat, presented on public policies linked to the management of geospatial information.
The IDERA Conference is 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.
Cristian Federik, Undersecretary of Modernization, pointed out that based on the work developed by the Municipality, “we were invited to participate in the conference panel to make known the different actions on how a municipality can build an intelligent geospatial ecosystem based on real data, free software, and innovation in public management”.
Sebastián Scévola, Director of Spatial Data Infrastructure, for his part, pointed out that data management is very important when implementing public policies on different topics such as those related to infrastructure, health, economy, or social issues, among others. “All this through the implementation of tools that allow for the projection of intelligent spatial ecosystems”.
An example of this is the information that the Municipality possesses in relation to the flooding of the Uruguay River with foundations on where the families that may be affected are located, drainage systems, or the levels that the water can reach.
This allows for efficient resource management, using territorial data for decision-making.
They were accompanied by Dr. Eng. María Eugenia Garat, from the Research Group in Applied Hydrology and Hydraulics (GIHHA) of the UTN, a University with which the Municipality signed a mutual collaboration agreement aimed at the survey and analysis of hydraulic basins in the urban area.
