BC Environmental and Occupational Health Research Network

On April 8, 2009 GeoConnections/Natural Resources Canada launched a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Data Needs Assessment project to support Integrated Land Management (ILM) decision making processes which consist of these objectives:
• To identify geospatial data sets used or selected for use to support ILM decision-making processes;
• To identify and prioritize new geospatial data sets identified by project stakeholders as being needed to support and enhance ILM decision-making processes in their region;
• To describe and understand the transformation of geospatial data sets into meaningful information for decision-makers;
• To identify any barriers that may arise in ILM decision-making processes for accessing, using (manipulating, processing, integrating, analyzing, modelling) and sharing the identified key geospatial data sets; and
• To provide opportunities and recommendations to GeoConnections and to the ILM Network for overcoming any identified barriers.
