Working Group - Joint Commission 3 and Young Surveyors Network
Geospatial Next
Policy Issues
The Industrial Revolution 4.0 and the technologies emerging in daily
life such as machine learning, AI and robotics; new challenges are at
the doorstep for the societies. For millennia surveyors managed to
benefit the technological advancements to answer the changing needs in
respect of geospatial data/information for the societies. Yet, output of
the ongoing revolutions are expected to change professions and working
cultures deeply, perish some occupations and bring new ones into
daylight.
International Federation of Surveyors is a well-established society,
which is aware of this wave of change approaching for a long period.
This issue has been addressed in many events of the FIG, Commissions and
Young Surveyors Network. To contribute these efforts, the new working
group will maintain the link with the changing role of surveyor in the
society based on the near future geospatial technologies and next
generations within the scope of the Commission 3 Spatial Information
Management.
The working group should be considered as a respond to contribute to
the technological and organizational skills for the changing needs of
the surveyors to exist in the dawn of the new industrial era and produce
together with inter generations of geospatial professionals in
Commission 3. Therefore, this working group will be able to work with
various professional level groups together with the other Com. 3 Working
Groups where it is possible.

Specific topics
The proposed working group will work to bring along a synergy of
young professionals into Com. 3 activities, an awareness of the new
professional perspectives with good applications in industry, with along
Commission events and stand-alone activities. It should be also seen as
a platform for the continuum of the members of the new generation
geospatial professionals who are aware of the society through various
ways and FIG Young Surveyors Network and who are willing to take next
level of experiences by contributing to FIG under Commission 3 topics.
The events should be considered in digital and in physical forms. The
working group could propose and organize events such as online/in demand
podcasts and trainings as well as workshops/trainings. Further to this,
competitions related to innovative geospatial solutions and
ideas/applications may be organized through online or during events.
Additional standalone events may be proposed through the term. The
events should be specific to Commission 3 topics and they should be
considered not to conflict with the existing ones such as organized by
FIG Young Surveyors Network.
The working group require to use the social media efficiently to make
sure itself and Commission 3 activities are circulated and as well as
trustworthy geospatial developments may be circulated (such as from
sister and regional organizations or industry specific applications)
through group channels. The working group members should seek possible
support from geospatial industry and academia, as well as their
affiliated organizations and national FIG members. However, support from
working groups and commission 3 as well as FIG Foundation might be
considered to support possible needs if needed such as participation to
events of WG members with the approval of Commission 3 and related
authority (FIG Council and FIG Foundation).
