  1. Embedding location based information and services in public sector processes Glenn Vancauwenberghe Spatial Applications Division Leuven – KU Leuven Making eGovernment work: Improving Organisational Processes 1 October 2013

  2. What’s the problem? Location is key to many things governments do, and using location information provides them a better understanding of events that occur Over the past ten years there have been tremendous efforts to improve the access and sharing of location information Currently, too few activities that take place between government, businesses and citizens – i.e. the G2G, G2B and G2C interactions in governmental processes - integrate location and location based services Public administrations do not fully exploit the potential of location information and services, resulting in inefficiencies, duplication of efforts, ineffective policy, etc.

  3. Key challenge “The aim of Finland’s first national spatial data strategy (2005-2010) was to implement a national spatial data infrastructure. The new National Spatial Data Strategy (2010-2015) is oriented towards the practical use of spatial data. The spatial data infrastructure is a network service of data warehouses upon which a large number of administrative processes and businesses can build their operations.” “Many of today’s administrative and business processes are planned by making extensive use of spatial data. However, there are still a large number of sectors and organisations that are managed by instinct.” Location: the Unifying Factor (Finnish National Spatial Data Strategy)

  4. Spatialist – analysis of four processes How to improve the performance of public sector processes? • Better coordination of location information activities • Integration of location information in administrative processes • Re-design of existing processes

  5. First assessment of MS processes Strongly integrated: location information integrated in most process steps, including interactions with citizens, businesses and other administrations Examples: delineation of flood areas, maintenance of road infrastructure, maintenance of addresses, registration of real property, … Partly integrated: location information integrated in some process steps, but in most process steps location information is not used or only used in support of the process Examples: design of spatial zoning plans, planning of public transport, monitoring of animal diseases, granting of environmental permits, … No integration: location information not used or only in support i.e. separate from the administrative process (e.g. by a separate GIS unit or in a separate application) Examples: registration of citizens, registration of crime, etc.

  6. Five areas of action

  7. E-government integration: first assessment Strategic level: • Few e-government strategies with reference to location information • Some member states have developed a specific location information strategy Organizational level: • GI bodies/organisations are taking leadership • Close collaboration between GI and e-gov bodies in some member states • Separate coordination structures Data policy level • Member states are developing one integrated data policy for all data • Only few single access points for all data (location and non-location)

  8. European Union Location Framework (EULF) "A recognised and coherent European framework of guidance and actions to foster interoperable cross-sector and cross-border sharing and use of location information, helping to deliver more effective e-services, save time and money, and enable growth and employment“ First step for the EULF is a study (as part of the Commission-driven Interoperability Solutions for Public Administrations (ISA) Programme) that will assess the state of play in the 5 focus areas and the need for EULF action in these areas. The EULF study is developed collaboratively with stakeholders at EU and member states level, promoting a best practice approach for cross-sector and cross-border sharing and use of this information.
