Dear friends and colleagues,
… the FIG Young Surveyors European Network continue with surprises, this
time we are revisiting Portugal, but in its 2nd capital, Porto.
The 6th Young Surveyors European Meeting (6YSEM) is a two-days event
that provides an environment for Young Surveyors from different
cultures, countries, academic qualifications, and professional
experience to discuss the issues facing their region, and plan for a
resilient future. 6YSEM will be held alongside Geodecision for
Sustainable Communities Meeting.
“Over the years Geospatial Information has increased its importance and
organizations are adding location services to support citizens, business
and policy makers. Location is a fundamental attribute and decisions
based on geospatial information – Geodecisions – are becoming the core
of new opportunities and improved strategies.” oin us to connect and learn the importance of geospatial information
and how it can be used to create harmony among the spatial, social,
economic and environmental aspects of a city and inhabitants.
FIG Foundation Grant
The FIG Foundation Grant is available, thanks to the full support from
the Fédération Internationale des Géomètres and the FIG Foundation. A
total of 4 grants will be available for deserving Young Surveyors,
students and professionals, not just in Europe, but also from around the
world:
We are looking forward to welcome you in Porto with the European Young
Surveyors together for tomorrow’s challenges!
The meeting is organised in cooperation with Ordem dos Engenheiros -
Portugal

Godze will give an overview of the project.
- Ilesanmi Adewale: FIG Foundation Grant Winner:
Practical
ways of promoting women’s participation in the field of
surveying
Technological advancement has made surveying processes to
become more simplified, thus, changing the landscape of the
industry. Despite this development, researches have revealed
that women around the world have less presence in spatial
sciences which has resulted in a low level of participation
in policy implementation and decision-making as an essential
part of sustainable development strategies within the global
surveying community. Ilesanmi will explore some research in
this area, and discuss some practical solutions.

Session 4: Evolutions in geospatial Technology |
|
We are a profession in the midst of constant technological
evolution, and it is essential for the geospatial industry to
keep abreast the opportunities that this evolving environment
provides. A selection of companies and individuals will share
why they are embracing new technologies and ideas, and how they
are utilising them to work towards a more sustainable futu
- Matteo Tagliani: Studio Tecnico MT ::
Speleology and
Laser Scanning
The Speleologist, when exploring caves, has first impulse to
understand their size, measure and geo-localize it. This
paper presents case studies conducted by “Studio Tecnico MT”
and “Persephone Exploring Association” in the Republic of
Macedonia territory, where, through the integration of
“Lidar techniques”, ”Digital Photogrammetric” and “Panoramic
Virtual Tour”, caves were surveyed, analyzed
and reported.

Session 5: Surveying our Changing Environment |
|
Our global environment is changing at an ever increasing
rate, and measuring this change is the mandate of our
profession. Prepare to be inspired as we gain insight into
several impressive projects our presenters have been working on.
- Lia Duarte: University of Porto:
QGIS Applications for
Modelling Environmental Risk Geographical Information Systems (GIS) provide the tools
required to correctly identify, quantify and evaluate the
risk intensity and mapping functions to support the
decisions commonly in ecological, environmental, geological
and other areas. A set of GIS open source applications were
developed under QGIS software incorporating environmental
risk models, specifically the evaluation of groundwater
vulnerability to pollution, mapping the soil erosion, the
creation of dynamic temperature maps to monitor the
temperature variations in a self-burning coal waste pile,
and the estimation of vegetation phenology metrics.
- Dora Roque: LNEC: SAR data to monitor a changing world -
from floods to structures Climate change impacts
our world in both direct and indirect ways. On one hand,
natural disasters are occurring more often. On the other
hand, extreme meteorological events apply larger loads on
structures that were not designed for those scenarios. In
this presentation, examples of how different types of data
obtained from SAR images can be used to monitor disasters
and the response of structures to those changes will be
shown.
- Inês Vilas Boas: FIG YSN: ArcGIS Online Follow-up
The ArcGIS Online account for YSN was created last year
after the successful first set of sessions done by YSN on
Esri User Conference in San Diego, California. After almost
one year of having this account, we will show how was the
process to select users and how they have been using the
account.
- Mapillary technology showcase and workshop

12:30-13:30 |
Lunch @ “Sei lá” Restaurant |
13:30-14:30 |
Session 6: Mapping for Sustainable Communities |
|
Making geospatial technology available to everyone has the
ability to empower. This session covers some exemplary
initiatives in community mapping and land tenure in developing
nations.
- Cidália Fonte: University of Coimbra: The potential role
of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) for mapping A
wide variety of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) is
now available, such as photographs, georeferenced text and
vector maps. Some of these data enables the extraction of
valuable information that may be used for mapping. However,
the use of VGI raises several problems. In this presentation
the potential and limitations of using VGI for the creation
and validation of Land Use /
Land Cover Maps (LULCM) are explained.
- Anna Schnaidman: University of Delft: Modern Land
Administration Systems
The presentation will address the following topics: aspects
of the modern land administration systems, various
components and stakeholders that play a significant role in
the way land related processes are being conducted; the
importance of standardization, LADM and LADM revision and
some features of fit-for-purpose and 3D Cadastre.
- Divyani Kohli: University of Twente:
Seeing the Slum from Above: Informality, Slums and Mapping
The presentation will be about mapping informal areas and
slums using remote sensing based methods. It will include
examples of identification and characterization of informal
areas that could also potentially support land
administration.

Charity Walking Tour with Mapillary |
|
The Charity Walking Tour has the purpose of showing the city
centre and the most interesting places in the beautiful city of
Porto to all the participants, while acquiring data using
Mapillary’s mobile app. FIG YSN will donate the profits of this
activity to two non-profit organizations: FIG Foundation
(international non-profit organization) and Forestis (national
non-profit organization).
