Abstract:
Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is known as a fundamental comprehensive approach of spatial data managing and sharing. Due to the complexity of establishing SDI, creating SDI has been considered as serious challenge, especially in developing countries. Successful and sustainable SDI can be developed when social, organizational and cultural issues are resolved in harmony with the technological ones. The framework of the present research is constructed on the basis of a survey and an SDI readiness model. Following a review of the research background, and taking into account the interaction of relevant indicators, criteria for establishing SDI were identified. After identification of the criteria, the data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with experts. 185 questionnaires were completed by 75 government-based departments, organizations, universities, and the private sector in East Azerbaijan province. The results were analysed and a readiness index was computed. The minimum chance of successfully establishing SDI was determined as being about 64.12%, while the maximum rate was 89.48%. The results are of great importance for analyzing the factors which may have significant impact on successful SDI development in East Azerbaijan province.

GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.
Starting 2016, GI_Forum publishes two issues a Year.
