HCM City (VNS/VNA) – Ho Chi Minh City's administration is in the process ofintegrating the data of all its departments and agencies to create a common-useshared digital map as a part of the city’s smart city project.

Speaking at aconference on piloting the establishment of the map on September 12, Vo ThiTrung Trinh, Deputy Director of the Department of Information andCommunications, said the database for this digital map would be one of threegroups of master data.

The other groupsrelate to the city’s residents and enterprises, and the collection,integration and use of all three would be completed by 2020, she said. 

Quach Dong Thang ofthe Centre for Applied Geographic Information System said to establish thedigital map, the city should set up a new shared base map, and that is the taskof the Department of Natural Resources and Environment.

“Based on the basemap, we will set up a GIS platform for each department to use,” he said.

The centre used theshared base map, which the Department of Natural Resources and Environmentcreated in 2004-2005, to set up a GIS platform which has since integrated 80layers of database, he added.

The centre’s GISplatform is used for planning areas for vegetable production, managing andplanning goods distribution systems and surveillance of diseases, he said.

“I hope the city cantake advantage of what the centre has created for establishing the city’scommon-use shared digital map.”

Trinh said taking advantageof all the data the centre and departments have is vital for enriching thecommon database.

Ly Minh Tuan, Directorof the Department of Information and Communications’ Information andCommunication Technology Centre, said in the first stage, the city would usemap service providers and then integrate layers of database and information thecity’s departments would provide.

In the second stage,the department would collaborate with the Department of Natural Resources andEnvironment to suggest solutions for the establishment of the digital map.

Nguyen Hong Tuan, DeputyDirector of the Department of Education and Training’s Centre for Informationand Educational Programmes, said the department has databases with sufficientinformation about the city’s schools.

If they areintegrated into the common-use shared digital map, the public would have easyaccess to them, he added./.
