IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INTEGRATED GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION FRAMEWORK IN THE REPUBLIC OF CUBA

Abstract

The world is constantly changing and evolving. It is undeniable the great importance and role that Geospatial Information plays in the development of a country, as a basis for its economic development and in decision-making in the social, economic and environmental spheres, which are the three fundamental pillars for global sustainable development, forming a fundamental part of the infrastructure of each country.

Having a network of geospatial information services, maintained by government entities with up-to-date statistical information and the use of established international standards, would be of great help to developing societies in order to solve the problems currently affecting society.

The objective and scope of this presentation is to show how our country has been developing work for the integration of geospatial and statistical information, taking into account the nine strategic routes of the Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (IGIF).
