Although the introduction of the "planning" to the geographical information industry has brought good, but China's geographical information industry is still facing a small overall scale, the core competitiveness is relatively weak, the industrial chain is not perfect and so on.

The original poem of the journalist

For the geographical information industry, 2014 is undoubtedly a good year for policy.

Following the guidance on promoting the development of geographic Information Industry (hereinafter referred to as "opinion") issued by the State Council earlier this year, the National Development and Reform Commission and the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping issued the National Geographic Information Industry Development Planning (2014-2020) (hereinafter referred to as "planning").

"Planning" proposed that by 2020, the industry maintained an average annual growth rate of more than 20%, 2020 output value of more than 800 billion yuan, become a new growth point of national economic development.

The industry was encouraged by the introduction of the first national-level planning for the geo-information industry. "Planning" for the development of geographical information industry to create a good policy environment, the focus and direction of industrial development more clearly. Duqingo, vice president of Hyper-graphics software, said in an interview with the China Science Daily.

At the same time, the relevant experts in the "China Science Daily" reporter interviewed also said that the current need to strengthen the geographical information enterprises in the industrial development of the main position, maintain an orderly market competition environment for enterprises to provide greater market space and all-round services, in order to better ensure the healthy development of the industry.

New growth Point

From the beginning of the "opinion", to the recent introduction of the "planning", China's geographical information industry development direction is increasingly clear, and the timely release of the policy reflects the country's attention to the development of geographical information industry.

"Geo-information industry as a strategic emerging industries, relying on satellite navigation and positioning technology, remote sensing to Earth observation technology, geographical information technology, and the next generation of Internet, IoT, cloud computing and other new technologies close integration, for the promotion of Chinese characteristics of new industrialization, informatization, urbanization and agricultural modernization Road, and to safeguard national security and change the way of economic development, will play an important role. "China National Geographic Information Industry Association executive Vice President and Secretary General Xuyan to the" China Science Daily Reporter said.

Sadie Consultant Equipment Industry Research Center analyst Evergreen also pointed out that the geographical information industry for China to change the mode of economic development, to promote information consumption and so on have an important role.

The main users of early geographical information are government, such as land and resources, urban planning, resources and environment and other departments. Today, geographic information and its supporting industries are becoming more and more extensive, especially the increase of personal consumption market, which has promoted the transformation of economic development mode correspondingly. "Evergreen said.

In addition, in Evergreen's view, with the promotion of the Internet, the geographic information industry is developing faster, and the products are constantly enriched, which makes the demand for geographic information service of the whole society increase dramatically.

"In the future, with more and more positioning services (LBS) software production, as well as mobile phone and tablet computers, such as the use of mobile Internet equipment, geographical information in the field of information consumption will be further expanded." "Evergreen said.

The planning also depicts the development prospect of geo-information industry--maintain the growth rate of more than 20% per year, and exceed 800 billion yuan in 2020, becoming a new growth point of national economy.

Broad prospects in six major fields

According to the plan, our country will develop the six key fields of surveying remote sensing data service, surveying and mapping geographic information equipment manufacturing, geo-information software, geographic information and navigation and location Fusion service, geographic Information Application service and map publishing and service. In the industry, these six major areas have broad prospects for development.

Taking surveying and mapping remote sensing data service as an example, according to Xuyan, the national basic aerial photography covers 800,000 square kilometers of land area every year. Since the successful launch of the third-dimensional mapping satellite from 2012, the global 50 million square kilometers of effective data has been obtained, covering an effective area of 9 million square kilometers.

At the same time, Low-altitude and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing has been developed in an unprecedented scale.

The remote sensing data are widely used in basic surveying, geographical state survey and monitoring of land resource management and digital city construction. "Xuyan said.

In the area of geographic information and navigation and location Integration Services, after years of efforts, our country has built a digital urban geospatial framework in more than 3/4 cities in the country and nearly 200 county-level cities, and has formed more than 1000 kinds of geographic information application services, effectively enhanced the city intelligent management and control ability, and promoted the government decision, Management and shared service levels.

At present, the surveying and Mapping Geographic Information Department is organizing the implementation of the first National Geographic Situation survey, which is expected to be completed next year, and will continue to carry out monitoring of geographical conditions.

"The future of geo-information and navigation and positioning Integration Services will move towards intelligent city construction, increase geographical information technology and location service products in E-commerce, business Intelligence, e-government, intelligent transportation, modern logistics and other fields of application." "Xuyan said.

In addition, Xuyan also told reporters, with the virtual display technology, multimedia technology and mapping geo-information High-tech development, various types of digital maps, multimedia maps, three-dimensional maps, network maps, urban street map and other modern maps have emerged, map culture and creative industries will become a new development highlights.

Development environment to be perfected

The release of the plan has also encouraged companies in the geo-information sector.

In an interview with the China Science Daily, Duqingo said the introduction of "planning" greatly boosted the development of hyper-map software with independent intellectual property rights of the GIS software platform product confidence, hyper-map software in the future strategic development planning will be put into greater strength, more resources to carry out research and development work.

However, although the planning of the development of geographical information industry has brought good, but China's geographical information industry is still facing a small overall scale, the core competitiveness is relatively weak, the industrial chain is not perfect and so on.

In the face of the above problems, Duqingo said that the geographical information industry chain long, wide range of applications, the country from a strategic point of view of the National Geographic Information software and Beidou, high points, from the national perspective to form data, software, hardware, services integration solutions, in domestic and overseas application.

Liu, president of the China-Earth Digital Group in the Chinese Science news reporter interviewed, said that the current domestic geographic information basic software development, but also need to establish an authoritative standard system.

"Only by standardizing, can SMEs better find their own location, thus bringing the whole industry to upgrade." "Liu said.

At the same time, he also called on more talents to join the field of geo-information basic software. "From the development of the Internet, China's software industry is not afraid of international giants, as long as there are innovative ideas and talent, we can stand in the international leading position." ”

Xuyan also fully affirmed the important role of enterprises in the development of geographic information industry. He stressed that to speed up the transformation of government functions and institutions reform, while strengthening the geographical information enterprises in the industrial development of the main position, to provide enterprises with greater market space and a full range of services, so as to ensure the healthy development of the industry.
