Synopsis (short abstract) This guide provides the API reference documentation for GISMGR 2.0, the FAO system designed to import, manage, share, and publish GIS raster data. It describes in detail the REST API endpoints available, including their functions, parameters, and expected responses, offering a complete framework for interacting programmatically with the system. Through this guide, you will learn how to authenticate requests, manage workspaces and users, configure data storage, create and update styles, and publish raster maps. It also explains how to handle cloud storage buckets, define roles and permissions, and work with Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs), ensuring that your data are properly managed and integrated into the platform. Acquiring this knowledge is particularly valuable for developers, system administrators, and advanced data managers who need to automate workflows, integrate external applications, or customize how geospatial data are published and shared. By mastering these APIs, you can move beyond the graphical user interface and gain precise control over data ingestion, styling, and dissemination. Ultimately, this reference enables you to fully exploit the power of GISMGR 2.0 as a scalable and interoperable environment for geospatial data management, supporting collaboration, innovation, and evidence-based decision-making.

    This guide provides a complete overview of the FAO GISMGR 2.0 Web User Interface (Web UI), the application designed to manage and publish geospatial raster data through an intuitive, browser-based environment. While GISMGR 2.0 also offers APIs for programmatic interaction, the Web UI allows users to perform the same core functions without needing advanced coding skills. In this manual, you will find detailed instructions on how to navigate the platform, create and manage workspaces, users, and roles, and organize resources such as maps, mapsets, mosaicsets, dimensions, grids, and styles. It also explains how to upload and process data through cloud storage buckets, apply styles for visualization, and preview results directly within the application. Acquiring this knowledge is particularly valuable for data providers, managers, and GIS specialists who need to collaborate in a shared environment, ensuring that datasets are properly ingested, styled, stored, and made accessible to others. The manual also covers system messages, permissions, and user profile management, helping you operate securely and efficiently. Ultimately, this guide equips you with the framework to use GISMGR 2.0 Web UI not just as a storage tool, but as a collaborative geospatial management system – enabling effective data sharing, visualization, and integration to support agriculture, environment, and sustainable development initiatives.

    The usage of unmanned aerial vehicle technology in participatory land use planning and mapping 2020
    Also available in:

    Participatory Land Use Planning (PLUP) requires the active involvement of the local stakeholders and the village tract communities. The use of Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in mapping and planning land uses, is an emerging and efficient technology for acquiring thematic spatial data for participatory land use planning and mapping at village or township levels. The use of UAVs was preferred for cost-effectively collecting quality geospatial data and information at very high resolution in a flexible, participatory and transparent manner in NyaungU and Kyaukpaduang townships at Village tract level. Data collected using the UAVs included; aerial imagery for mapping of village boundaries, land use, land cover, infrastructure, public facilities and utilities, point cloud data for creating digital terrain models. The same participatory procedures were used in the great delta of Ayeyarwady Region in Labutta Township and in the upland areas of Mindat and Kanteplet Townships in Chin State. The usage of UAV technology enhanced the participatory process by enabling identification of visible land use types, crop types, infrastructure, facilities and delineable boundaries by the local non-technical village participants. This information was used in the PLUP process at several stages namely; the preparation stage, Mapping existing land uses and other features (infrastructure, utilities, and facilities, delineating village boundary), Mapping of proposed land use sites, i.e. community forest sites, and delineating land tenure systems in the selected project sites.
