This research was performed under the existing Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Land, Transport, and Maritime Affairs of the Republic of Korea and the Ministry of National Property of Chile, which was signed in October of 2011 in Seoul. Specifically, the effort was hosted by the Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements (KRIHS) through its Global Development Partnership Center (GDPC) and the Geospatial Information Research Division.
As background, the Chilean SDI is now passing an important evolutionary moment. A national policy for spatial information management is being formalized, a new supreme decree based on updated knowledge about SDI direction is being elaborated, and the authorities to advance this initiative has had strong support during the last period (2010-2012). Thus, there is a major opportunity to develop a long-term master plan for the Chilean SDI that is consistent with both policy and the supreme decree, while also taking into account the valuable experience and knowledge produced in the context of the Korean SDI.
