    Rosario C. Giusti de Prez Brings Urban Plan

    Slums of VenezuelaThe United Nations Center for Human Settlements reports that more than onethe world live in slums and squatter settlements without adequate shelter and Worldwide, slums are considered to be residential areas in urban geographic ainhabited by the poor. Because of these characteristics, urban planners can usgeographic data about slum areas to show relationships, elevations, landmarksources, and other attributes that affect these urban populations.

    With this thought in mind, Giusti de Prez developed a framework for sustaplanning with the ultimate goal of advancing the residents' quality of life. Th

    this planning approach is to introduce what she calls "friendly interventionsenvironment.

    Rebuilding after a DisasterAceh Province, Indonesia, Continues GIS Work Five Years aft

    devastated areas, and coordinating therelief effort. Now the technology is beingused in the process of rebuilding.

    Waves of up to 30 meters high struckSoutheast Asia during the tsunami.Almost 230,000 people in 14 countrieslost their lives. But most of the damagewas centered in Aceh province on thenorthern tip of Sumatra. The coastalregion was leveled. Water rushed inlandas far as four kilometers, in one instance

    Seeing the region today, little evidence remains of the devastation, as Aceh coonly recover but also, as the government's motto says, build back better.

    The United Nations brought in GIS technology to assist in rebuilding Aceh. Thegovernment and more than 65 nongovernmental organizations relied on the tefacilitate relief efforts, strategize management of health care, and begin to rebuThe organizations used GIS to produce maps for humanitarian work, includingpopulations, damage assessments, and displaced persons.

    Today, GIS continues to provide necessary insight into the information thatmanage assets, reduce illegal logging of the Sumatran forests, and incubasuch as tourism.

    To begin coordinating the relief effort, emergency responders needed to bedamaged by the tsunami. Maps were required to visualize where supplies organizations would be able to assist.

    Since the tsunami tore up the shoreline, it was a challenge to find current ageographic data for the region. The national mapping agency Badan KoordPemetaan Nasional (Bakosurtanal) provided 1:50,000-scale maps, but wha

    mapped infrastructure for the province was not always up-to-date.

    "Unfortunately, disasters happen when we least expect them," said Erik van deadviser for the spatial planning and environmental management component ofand Tsunami Emergency Support Project (ETESP). The ETESP is supported bDevelopment Bank (ADB).

    "This emergency really exemplified the importance of countries investing in naagencies to provide the information necessary to respond to catastrophes sucZee said.

    Where maps were rendered uselessby either changed infrastructure or the

    tsunami's impact, the United NationsHumanitarian Information Centre (UNHIC) turned to high-resolution satelliteimagery to supplement the vector basedata. Since a complete image of the areawas unobtainable due to heavy cloudcover, older topographic maps were alsoscanned.

    Days after the tsunami, the UN set upHIC. Based in tents at the heart of thecatastrophe, HIC collected data from theIndonesian government, nongovernmentalorganizations (NGOs), and internationalagencies. UN HIC delivered GIS dataand maps to the responding humanitariancommunity, allowing workers to deliver

    assistance more effectively immediatelyafter the emergency.

    The most immediate concernswere to contain disease outbreaksand prevent more people fromdying of starvation. Officialsneeded to know the location andnumber of survivors, as well as theextent of their injuries, to providethem with food, water, and medical

    The UN HIC team, working withthe UN World Health Organization(WHO), collated and evaluateddata using GIS to create anaccurate picture of the damageand prioritize needs. Activities

    The simple act of providing shelter presented many challenges. More than a hwere left homeless when land washed away and traditional landmarks vanisheremained had to be cleared of millions of tons of debris and silt before it could and many areas were no longer suitable housing locations.

    Workers from the international aid communitywent into the field to map where houses oncestood and determine who owned the properties.Pseudo land titles were issued with thesignatures of all neighbors and the village leader.

    Initially, there was no mandate to coordinaterebuilding among the various agencies.Government staff used GIS to coordinateactivities including spatial planning, villagemapping, community planning, engineeringdesign, and house building.
