Access to geospatial communication is a key to get user information says, Chief Director of Department of Land Reform, South Africa

In an exclusive interview with GeoBuiz Derek Clarke says that Access to geospatial communication is a key to get user information.

Public Agency of the Year 2015 is a great honor for us. We have a portal through which we provide mapping services and geospatial information. Access to geospatial communication is a key point to get user information. We have regular programmes for refreshing imagery in South Africa. We have strong policy on lands reforms. We are trying to provide security tenure to all people in South Africa.

Every land has value. We need to look at formal valuation system as well as traditional value. Geospatial information is the key to any development project. Geospatial information helps in better decision making, planning and monitoring.
