The ly and the Programme l. introduction 1.2 Developments in Map and Geo-Information Production A growing number of new tools is becoming available as a result of increasingly reliable combinations of computer, communications, and control technologies of which data base, navigation, satellite technology and expert systems are examples. In some cases these tools are replacing current technology, skills or traditional map production while in others they are complementing those. Sometimes they open up totally new and unexpected opportunities to meet the pressing needs for Geo-Information, in country development. The new technology is forcing surveyors and map makers to critically review the premises of their activities not only technologically but also with respect to the user. While many new technologies are promising, implementing digital production lines that may have been proven in the lab is also a capital intensive, complex and time consuming task requiring scarce and high cost skills and support services and disciplined management. Expectations are usually high but one should assume it will take many years to realize the fruits of the investments through reliable and cost effective production lines. Meanwhile, the demand for up to date maps and other information products is rising relentlessly under the pressure of urbanization, the needs of resource management and exploitation, the development of agriculture, the protection of a habitable environment and the need for security and political stability. Thus the mapping effort must go on. For the next decade, mapping organizations need personnel to manage the transition from existing to new technology to meet the escalating demand for maps and geo-information. Sensitivity to user needs coupled to the ability to determine for local circumstances the applicability of certain technologies and data sources and the combination of those into practical production lines are the key assets of personnel who will lead this transition. 1.2. ITC response to the new developments In response to the new developments, the ITC has developed an educational programme aiming at developing the leadership* in various functions of organizations that are engaged in the production and dissemination of maps and geo-information. The major functions in those organizations are shown in figure 1.
