发展中国家的城市在管理增长及其城市基础设施方面面临重大问题。发达国家城市的经验通常证明不适合发展中国家，因此，正在不断为这些城市探索新的和创新的解决办法，地理信息系统和基本的空间数据基础设施似乎为协助管理发展中国家的人类住区提供了巨大的潜力。在审查发展中国家空间数据基础设施的状况时，本文件第一部分将发展中国家的城市与发达国家的城市进行了比较。然后，它强调了发展中国家在建立空间数据基础设施以支持有效的城市土地管理方面所面临的问题。本文介绍了曼谷土地信息系统作为一个城市试图利用空间信息技术来管理城市环境的例子。这个案例研究，连同作者的经验，被用来描述在类似的社会经济条件下的城市空间数据基础设施的发展所涉及的一般性问题。该文件为发展中国家城市空间数据基础设施的发展提供了一个技术和体制框架。本文最后建议，简单，低成本，面向项目，易于维护和用户友好的空间信息技术有最好的成功机会。(C)2000爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
The cities of the developing world face major problems in managing growth and their urban infrastructure. The experiences of cities in the developed world have usually proved inappropriate in developing countries and consequently new and innovative solutions are continually being explored for these cities, Geographic information systems and the underlying spatial data infrastructures appear to offer significant potential to assist in managing human settlements in developing countries. In examining the status of spatial data infrastructures in developing countries, the first part of the paper compares cities in developing countries to those in the developed world. It then highlights issues facing developing countries in establishing spatial data infrastructures to support efficient urban land management. The paper describes the Bangkok Land Information System as an example of a city attempting to use spatial information technologies to manage the urban environment. This case study, together with the experience of the authors, are used to describe generic issues involved in the development of spatial data infrastructures for cities in similar socio-economic conditions. The paper provides a technical and institutional framework for the development of spatial data infrastructures for cities in developing countries. The paper concludes by suggesting that simple, low cost, project oriented, easily maintained and user-friendly spatial information technologies have the best chance of success.
