位於觀塘的地理空間實驗室,於7月15號正式開幕。

實驗室成立目的是為營造一個地理空間社區,提升公眾對地理空間數據系統的認識和應用,特別是年輕一代及包括應用程式開發者在內的初創企業,地理空間實驗室亦歡迎公眾人士前來參觀了解。

場地提供專業的GIS電腦設備,諮詢及顧問服務(需預約),亦會定期舉行研討會、講座、工作坊等分享有關空間數據的最新資訊。歡迎各位積極報名參加,場地還有CSDI相關影片、案例展示等,令大家更了解CSDI在香港的發展。

另外,由地理空間實驗室主辦的第四場地理空間資訊專業講堂 ──「運用空間數據作地理應用」亦於同日順利舉行。

活動由香港地理信息系統學會前會長、香港大學城市規劃及設計系客席副教授鄧兆星博士及香港地理信息系統學會榮譽秘書長、嶺南大學科學教研組助理教授王沛欣博士及香港地理信息系統學會執委郝亮女士為講師‍。

這場實體講堂向公眾介紹地理信息系統軟件的功能及使用方法。參加者在講堂上嘗試運用軟件及數據進行基本的分析。一連四場的地理空間資訊專業講堂到此正式完結。地理空間實驗室日後將繼續舉辦不同的公眾活動,分享更多有關空間數據的最新資訊,敬請期待。

「地理空間實驗室」由發展局設立、東華三院營運、智慧城市聯盟支援運作。

Good news. The Geospatial Lab in Kwun Tong was officially opened on July 15.

The purpose of establishing the lab is to create a geospatial community and enhance the public's awareness, especially for the young generation and start-ups including application developers.

Members of the public are welcome to visit.

We provide professional GIS computer equipment and consulting services (requires advance booking) As well as, seminars, lectures, and workshops will also be held regularly to share the latest information about spatial data. Hope to see you in our community soon There will be CSDI related introduction videos and showcases, visitors can understand more about the development of CSDI in Hong Kong.

Also, the third Professional Geospatial talk, named “Applying Spatial Data for Geospatial Applications” was held.

Dr Kenneth Tang, former President of HKGISA, and Adjunct Associate Professor, Department of Urban Planning and Design, University of Hong Kong, and Dr Paulina Wong, Hon. Secretary of HKGISA and Assistant Professor, Science Unit, Lingnan University were the lecturers.

The talk explained functions and approaches of Geographic Information System (GIS) software, participants had the opportunity to integrate the existing spatial data into GIS software with further analytical procedures.

The four modules of professional geospatial talks were conducted. The Geospatial Lab will continue to provide more public engagement activities in the future, to share the latest information about spatial data. Stay tuned for more updates.

“Geospatial Lab” is established by the Development Bureau, operated by Tung Wah Group of Hospitals and supported by Smart City Consortium (SCC).
