1.1 Background of project

1-1

Chapter1 Outline of project

1.1 Background of project

After over twenty years of civil war, the new government of the Islamic Republic of

Afghanistan (hereinafter Afghanistan) has been striving to rebuild the nation.

Assistance in this rebuilding is being implemented from a medium- to long-term perspective.

However, designing of reconstruction projects has been hampered by lack of accurate, up-to-

date topographic maps, even of urban areas. Such maps form the basis of economic and social

reconstruction programs.

Of the urban areas, in the city of Kabul, in particular, the population is increasing rapidly and

the urban area is expanding. Consequently, Kabul and the expanding urban areas are facing

various urban problems including a shortage of housing and water supply, deteriorating

hygienic conditions, traffic congestion and air pollution. Therefore, the formulation and

implementation of measures to combat and solve these problems was urgently required.

To this end, the Government of Afghanistan (GOA) submitted a request to the Government of

Japan (GOJ) for implementation of a study on preparation of topographic maps in Kabul.

In response to the above request, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)

dispatched a preliminary study team and exchanged the Scope of Work (S/W) on 13th

September 2007. JICA then implemented The Study on the topographic mapping for Greater

Kabul in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (hereinafter the project) in accordance with the

S/W.

1.2 Objectives of project

The objectives of the project are:

Digital topographic mapping of Kabul city on a scale of 1:5,000 and orthophoto mapping

of Kabul and its surrounds on a scale of 1:10,000; and

Technical transfer of digital topographic mapping techniques to the Afghanistan Geodesy

and Cartography Head Office (hereinafter AGCHO) through the implementation of this

project.

number of maps, number of map sheets, nature of topographic maps, and year of

3.3 Issues in the fields of dissemination/management of topographic maps

3-3

preparation) and to use such information for updating of topographic maps and as the basic

information for development of new topographic maps.

(2) Management of actual topographic maps already made

There are the tasks to arrange and put in order the topographic maps as actual objects

(including printed maps, films for printing, output maps and output map data) and to build a

system which is able to respond quickly to retrieval (drawing out) of those maps.

3.3.2 Issues in the dissemination of topographic maps

(1) Issues on rules for release
