The institutional issues are more complex since they cover the financial issues, the user requirements and the changing role of surveying and mapping agencies in the GIS/LIS environment. The main financial issue is the economic pressure placed on governments to reduce personnel costs, thus forcing them to embark upon rigorous and penetrat ing analysis of the activities performed by their departments and the costs incurred in performing them. The changing user requirements relate to the increasing demand for up-to-date maps and other information products under the pressure of urbanisation, the needs of resource exploitation and management, the development of agriculture, the protection of a livable environment and the need for security and political stability. Coupled to this is the increasing complexity that can be observed in the planning and decision making process and its greater decentralisation (more and more decisions taken at the level where the development takes place), leading to a requirement for more, faster, more current and more-to-the-polnt information on the one hand, and to more complex types of information (interrelations between information categories, consequences of actions) on the other. These demands are forcing surveying and mapping agencies to extend their focus towards the supply of geo-infonr»ation products, including traditional mapping. This requires firstly that agencies become aware cf the fact that they are in the informa tion business and not the surveying or mapping business and that they will have to go out and study v/hat users are doing and thereby anticipate what their infor mation needs are or will be. Secondly, national agencies must establish a rcie for themselves in the "information society" by, for example, acting as a focal point for the establishment of standards, monitoring that these standards are adhered to and coordinating the exchange of information between different systems. Finally, agencies must be aware that the usar community will expect the same ef ficiency and response to their geo-information queries as they receive in day to day life in telecommunication, banking, etc. More specifically, national agencies must adjust to these changed circumstances by: - learning to understand the nature of spatial data which other departments and users require and collect, process into usable information, inter-relate, and employ in the fulfillment of their mandates; - making available the cadastral, topographic, etc. data in such suitably struc tured forms that the work of other departments and users is facilitated and their temptation to engage in costly duplication of effort is minimised or preferably avoided.
