	Applications of Geodesy to Engineering (Germany), etc. List of participants 
	included following key representatives: V. V. Soloviev, Head of the 
	Interregional Land Inspection of the Agency of RK for Land Resources 
	Management for East Kazakhstan and Pavlodar Regions, R. T. Kaimbekov,

	Cartography, Kazakhstan, S. A. Babasov, Director General of 
	“Geostroiinvest” LLC, Kazakhstan, Prof. Dr. F. K. Nizametdinov, 
	Karaganda State Technical University (Kazakhstan), D. G. Sarmanov, 
	First Deputy, “GosNPTSzem” (Kazakhstan), and A. V. Ionchenkov, 
	Director General, “GEO-KURS” LLC (Kazakhstan).  Within the framework of the workshop there were almost 60 presentations. 
	The participants and guests were welcomed on the official ceremony by: Prof. 
	Dr. T. T. Ipalakov, D. Serikbaev East Kazakhstan State Technical 
	University, Prof. Vladimir A. Seredovich, Vice Rector on Innovative 
	Activities, Siberian State Academy of Geodesy (SSGA), N. B. Kalabaev, 
	Chairman, Education and Science Control Committee under the Ministry of 
	Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Dr.-Ing. Ivo Milev, 
	technet-rail 2010 GmbH (for the FIG commissions 5 and 6), Germany, Prof. Dr.
				Milan Konecny, Immediate Past President of International Cartographic 
	Association (ICA), Vice President of International Society on Digital Earth 
	(ISDE), Czech Republic, Em. Prof. Gottfried Konecny, Honorary Member 
	of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS), 
	Germany, and A. A. Brusentsov, Deputy Akim of Ust-Kamenogorsk City, 
	Kazakhstan. A comprehensive set of topics related to the theme of the Workshop was 
	discussed including following:  
					Prediction of Earth’s Surface and Engineering Structures 
		Deformations and Movements in Areas of Tectonically and Technogenically 
		Active Hazardous Zones Using Geodetic ObservationsAutomated Geodetic Monitoring Systems Applied to Construction of 
		Engineering Structures and Their Maintenance Terrestrial Laser Scanning Systems, Their Usage in Architecture, 
		Civil Engineering and IndustryGIS Technologies for Designing, Construction, Operation and 
		Maintenance of Engineering Objects and FacilitiesProvision of Geo-information for Solving of Environmental ProblemsMethods of Studying Hazardous Natural-Technogenic Processes, Their 
		Prediction and Cartographic ModelingGeospatial Data InfrastructureReal time GNNS Application in Designing of Engineering Objects and 
		Facilities  D. Serikbaev East Kazakhstan State Technical University has published the 
	technical program and workshop proceedings on paper and a CD-ROM (including 
	presentations) and the proceedings will be published as online publication 
	on the FIG web site.  The main outcomes of the seminar include following recommendations and 
	proposals:  Resolutions A temporal working group with members from the organizing committee and 
	participants on the conference present following resolution proposal:  Technical based:  
					Force the development of more powerful algorithms and applications 
		for raising the acceptance of the method and efficiency by using 
		automated processing of the laser scan data acquisition method. Encourage and support the development of more powerful devices and 
		GUI as a solution that will to bring the GIS data to the field.Take in account as middle term priorities the future development of 
		a GNSS infrastructure based on the GLONASS and GPS technology as the 
		required frame for the development of high technologies and applications 
		in the field of geoinformatics, terrestrial laser scanning, remote 
		sensing, monitoring of deformation in environment during the 
		exploitation of earth resources.  Regional development and education based:  
					Kazakhstan shall be encouraged to continue to develop high level 
		academic education, research capabilities in the geomatics field, which 
		is in highest importance of accessible economy in the growing country 
		economy.International donators can be approach to development education as a 
		research program in key universities and special case the recommendation 
		to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan 
		to support D. Serikbaev East Kazakhstan State Technical University 
		(EKSTU) and Kazakhstan National Technical University named after K. I. 
		Satpaev (KazNTU) to establish an international supported council for a 
		new Ph. D. program in geodesy and geoinformatics.Support the application from the D. Serikbaev East Kazakhstan State 
		Technical University to become a new member of the FIGThe World Bank should be approach for the support of installation of 
		an efficient cadaster system development for achieving the Millennium 
		Goals.  Other recommendations include that research and education in 
	geoinformatics could be helpful not only for students but as well as a 
	platform for integration between geodesy, cartography, remote sensing, 
	photogrammetry, etc. This event was done in co-operation with FIG but in the 
	future it would be helpful to have meetings on lower level. JB GIS sister 
	organizations are available communicate and create new added values.  FIG was represented by the organization committee on the reception 
	organized by the Rector of D. Serikbaev East Kazakhstan University during 
	the “Seventh Forum of Interregional Cooperation of Russia and Kazakhstan” 
	held on the level of presidents from Russian Federation and Kazakhstan..  This first workshop in Kazakhstan has been largely supported and promoted 
	by the Siberian State Academy of Geodesy from Novosibirsk that is also 
	supporting “GEO-Siberia” and we are very grateful for their efforts to share 
	and contribute their experience to the Kazakhstan organization team.  Many thanks to Prof. Kaisar Khasenov, Head of the Department of 
	Geodesy, Land Management and Cadaster at D. Serikbaev East Kazakhstan State 
	Technical University, and his team for the logistics, local organization and 
	great flexibility during the conference.  Dr. Ivo MilevE-mail:
