236 Infrastructure Development and Heritage Conservation
The SMO developed a government-wide common geospatial information platform called the 'HKSAR Geospatial Information Hub' (GIH) which integrates geospatial data from various government departments and makes the data easily. accessible to more than 50 bureaux and departments. The GIH helps improve operation efficiency and decision-making processes in delivering public service. Subsequently, the SMO developed a publicly accessible service called 'GeoInfo Map' which provides the general public with a convenient means of gaining access to digital maps and geospatial information provided by various departments through the Internet. A mobile version of the Geolnfo Map known as the 'GeoMobile Map Hong Kong' was launched in June 2011. It allows users to view digital maps or to search for community facilities with their mobile devices.
The SMO implemented the '3D Spatial Data Processing System'. The set of 3D Spatial Data is continually enriched and updated to support various 3D modeling applications such as project planning and engineering construction. The SMO also studied and successfully incorporated the use of Light Detection and Ranging data for improving the base maps and for 3D modeling.
