Regional Cartographic Conferences
The Statistics Division organizes and services the following cartographic conferences: the United Nations Regional Cartographic Conference for Asia and the Pacific, convened every three years; and the United Nations Regional Cartographic Conference for the Americas, convened every four years.
In addition, the Secretariat organizes ad hoc
training courses, seminars, and expert group meetings, mostly in cooperation
with host governments and international scientific and professional
organizations. Subjects include application of modern technology in
surveying and mapping in developing countries, geographical information
systems (GIS) for application in basic mapping and applied mapping
such as mapping for statistics, population census, environmental protection,
tourism, land use, and cadastral registration; legal aspects in map
production; and toponymy.
The Statistics Division also promotes the development of geographical
information systems for population and demographic statistics in
developing countries.
In this connection, it had issued a publication "Handbook on geographic information systems and digital mapping". |
