Abstract

During 1996 and 1997, the National Council for Geographic Information (CNIG) carried out a series of studies and surveys about the state of geographic information in France. An analysis of the French professional GIS market was also undertaken by the CNIG, and an extension of the survey to the major European countries was completed by Coopers & Lybrand. An evaluation of the impact of data diffusion policies on the market was undertaken by Arthur Andersen and Urbatique, and a study about the use of geographic information in planning procedures has been completed by TED-ALITEC and Société d’Informatique et d’Aide à la Gestion (SIAGE). The latter consultants are currently conducting a survey of the use of geographic information technologies in higher education and research. The reports of the CNIG surveys and studies have been widely published (summaries can be downloaded at http://www.cnig.fr ) and form the basis of a ‘white paper’ currently circulating among the institutions and professionals involved in the GIS and geomatics sectors. It is expected that propositions should emerge in the next few months from the consultations and that 1998 will be a decisive year for the provision of geographic information in France.
