Abstract
Sufficiency of Geodetic Infrastructure of Turkey for GIS Track: Spatial Data Infrastructure Author(s): Rahmi Celik, Caner Guney, Tevfik Ozludemir GIS takes a crucial role in most government institutions, private companies, etc. Since they would like to serve their citizens and customers in the most efficient ways, they would like to rapidly update information on their systems with reliable and accurate data. As is very well known, there is not only single coordinate system validity for most countries, especially in urban areas. This is much more dramatic in Turkey. Therefore, GIS should have a fundamental coordinate system that could be transformable to the other existing coordinate systems to eliminate the coordinate inconsistency. In effect, this is an easy mathematical manipulation if every think is in order and is not for a county like Turkey whose lands are 92% under the risk of crustal movements and hence earthquakes. In this paper, the sufficiency of geodetic infrastructure of Turkey will be discussed in regards to GIS application needs.
