Map India 2004

Conference Proceeding

Map India 2004 is the 7th Annual International Conference and Exhibition in the field of geographic information technologies like GIS, GPS, Aerial Photography and Remote Sensing.

Responding to the needs of the industry, the research community and every individual's right to Geospatial information, this year again, Map India aims to provide a platform for the convergence, sharing and use of technologies and experiences in the Geospatial domain.

Map India 2004 remains dedicated to the mission of fostering the use and spread of Geospatial content among communities.

Theme : Geospatial Democracy

'Government of the people, for the people and by the people' constitutes the basic ingredient of 'democracy' and encompasses in itself greater guidelines for code of conduct within the various fields of democracy. We understand that every human being has some 'geospatial reference’ by birth. Every citizen identifies oneself with a 'geographic boundary' and eventually everyone develops a level of 'geospatial possessiveness'. Every nation needs 'geospatial information' in some manner to perform efficiently.

In comprehension of this emerging truth that 'democracy' in contemporary times need to recognise the concept of Information Democracy, Map India 2004 proposes deliberations on 'Geospatial Democracy : Geospatial Information for the people, of the people and by the people'.
