An important : aim of UDMS has been to provide a forum for people to discuss new approaches, to consider new : technologies and to share practical experiences in the field of urban data management. : Traditionally the focus has been on urban applications. However, regional and rural issues have : always been well represented at UDMS. : : During the 21st Urban Data Management Symposium, held in Venice in 1999, it became clear that UDMS : should broaden its scope. To an increasing degree urban development has its effect on regional and : rural zones and vice versa. Especially in the densely populated parts of Europe cities, industry : and infrastructure need more and more space. The impact of this expansion on rural areas should be : studied and visualised using new spatial information technologies. : Therefore UDMS has decided to focus also on regional and rural aspects at the beginning of a new : century. : : >From an economic point of view land becomes more and more scarce and therefore more and more : valuable. From the countries in Central Europe we learn how important it is to solve the land : market problems in order to establish a free market economy. Since 1996 UDMS has also paid : attention to developments in Central Europe. As membership of the European Union is now the main : aim of these countries, it becomes even more important to discuss these issues. : : For more details: http://www.geo.tudelft.nl/GISt/UDMS2000/UDMS2000.htm : : The general theme will be Urban and Rural Data Management Common Problems - Common Solutions? : : Topics: : * Organisation of the technical services of local and regional authorities : * Cadastre and Land Administration : * Shared use of geographic information : * Metadata services clearing house : * Environmental information : * Public Service Delivery: the role of local and regional authorities and private companies : * Integrating GIS into an urban and rural information system : * New technologies for urban and rural planning and management : * Urban risks and disaster management : * New technologies for infrastructure : * Co-operative urban information systems : * Tele-geoprocessing and the use of telecommunications for urban and rural management and monitoring : * Using Internet, Intranet and Extranet technologies : * One line permitting : * Intranets and Extranets for Local Authorities. : * Environment Monitoring : * GIS for public participation and information to citizens : : Board of UDMS: : * Massimo Rumor (President) Padua, Italy rumor@dei.unipd.it : * Robert Laurini (Vice-President) Lyon, France laurini@if.insa-lyon.fr : * Jørgen Rasmussen (Treasurer) Odense, Denmark ras@kmd.dk : * Ken Jones (Program Coordinator) Oslo, Norway kenjones@online.no : * Theo Bogaerts (Member) Delft, The Netherlands e.m.fendel@geo.tudelft.nl : : National Representatives: : * Antonio Arnaud, Portugal ama@di.fct.unl.pt : * Jerzy Gazdzicki, Poland gazdzicki@waw.pdi.net : * Josef Hojdar, Czech Republic hojdar@mbox.vol.cz : * Matti Holopainen, Finland matti.holopainen@kuntaliitto.fi : * Michael J.
