The document discusses testing national preparedness for sustainable public procurement in Vietnam. It would involve:
1) Reviewing procurement legislation and provisions for SPP
2) Dialogue with procurement authorities on the institutional framework
3) Reviewing environmental and social policies that could promote SPP
It would also analyze how procurement is organized, budgets are managed, and identify stakeholders that could pilot SPP efforts. The document also provides background on the organization conducting the study, IISD, and its work promoting sustainable public procurement globally and in countries like South Africa, Chile and India.
This document discusses forest certification in Vietnam. It notes that Vietnam exports a large amount of wood products, projected to reach $8 billion by 2020, but lacks sufficient domestic wood. It also discusses the current state of forest certification, with over 1,200 wood processing plants but only 1 forest certified. It identifies high costs and lack of awareness as challenges but opportunities in partnerships and Vietnam developing its own forest certification standard in 2009. The document promotes GreenField Consulting as able to offer networks and expertise in forest planning and management to support forest certification in Vietnam.
Vietnam faces difficulties in harmonizing its national forest reporting to international standards like FRA 2010. Forests are diverse and ownership was unclear due to a feudal history. Forests are also degraded and fragmented by population growth. Government agencies report different forest area figures using varying classifications. Specifically, savanna areas are classified differently, and protection and special use forests are not harmonized. Developing consistent national forest classifications aligned with international standards would help, as would detailed international guidelines on forest inventory for different ecological zones and capacity building support.
This document summarizes an agenda and presentations for a workshop on enhancing regulation of water and energy infrastructure in Southeast Asia. The workshop included presentations on conceptual frameworks for effective regulation, initial regulatory status reports for Vietnam's energy and water sectors, and next steps for case studies and stakeholder interviews in selected countries. Key regulatory challenges identified for Vietnam's sectors included low tariffs restricting investment and improving coverage, and lack of capacity and enforcement at some provincial levels.
The document discusses the FOSS4G 2011 conference held in Denver from September 9th-17th. It focuses on presentations about geospatial open source software including PostGIS, Neo4j, MapServer, GeoServer, OpenLayers, Leaflet, GeoScript, GeoKettle, and MapCache. New features and tips for using these tools were provided.
1) WebGIS architecture separates the geographic data storage and map generation on a remote server from the map interaction which occurs in the user's browser.
2) Setting up a WebGIS involves configuring the WebGIS architecture, producing and managing geographic data in a PostGIS database, configuring MapServer maps, and enabling map-user interaction through JavaScript libraries.
3) Key components for developing a WebGIS are PostGIS for geographic data storage, MapServer for generating maps from the database, and JavaScript libraries like OpenLayers and GeoExt for basic and complex user interaction with the maps in a web browser.
This document lists geospatial projects conducted by Green Field, including:
1. Mapping carbon, biodiversity, and deforestation in Vietnam for REDD+ planning.
2. Establishing forest status maps for Con Cuong State Forest Company using SPOT 5 imagery.
3. Developing the national Forest Information System of Vietnam (FORMIS) portal and tools.
This document summarizes the findings of a study on opportunities and hurdles for enabling sustainable public procurement (SPP) in Vietnam. It describes how public procurement is currently organized and identifies opportunities for SPP through Vietnam's existing legal framework, including laws on the environment, prevention of corruption, and centralized purchasing methods. However, it also notes hurdles like a lack of connection between laws, specific EIA guidelines, and environmental product labels. Overall capacity and inter-ministerial cooperation need strengthening to fully implement SPP in Vietnam.

The document summarizes a technical workshop on the ArcGIS platform and web GIS. It outlines the evolution of GIS technology towards more integrated software and services. It then reviews the key components of the ArcGIS platform, including ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Online, Portal for ArcGIS, and ArcGIS Server. It demonstrates how GIS data and resources can be centralized in a portal and accessed through web apps by users on desktops, web, and mobile devices. The workshop concludes with advice on implementing web GIS within an organization.
The document presents information on open source web GIS. It discusses that open source web GIS is an open source software used for mapping geographical areas that is user friendly. It then provides details on what GIS is, its components including hardware, software, data, methods and people. It describes how data is stored in layers and different data models used. Finally, it discusses implementing web GIS using open source software like GRASS and RDBMS with PHP and the features, advantages, disadvantages and conclusion of open source web GIS.

We'll demonstrate integrating PostGIS in both PHP and ASP.NET applications.
We'll demonstrate using the new PostGIS 1.5 geography offering to extend existing web applications with proximity analysis.
More advanced use to display maps and stats using OpenLayers, WMS/WFS services and roll your own WFS like service using the PostGIS KML/GML/and or GeoJSON output functions.
The document discusses building web-based geographic information systems (WebGIS). It presents the "Sam Matthews Mantra" which outlines the key components for WebGIS as a library, map tiles, data, and analysis. Several URLs are provided for libraries, tile providers, data sources, and analysis tools that can be used to build WebGIS applications. The document encourages exploring WebGIS and provides contact information for its author.
