SDI strategic planning using the system dynamics technique: A case study in Tanzania.978-90-816960-4-3http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11810/3724Development of spatial data Infrastructure (SDI) is a long term process, which requires long-term plans. The complexity of SDI, which is a matter of technical, institutional and financial challenges and their interactions, makes the development of such a plan complicated. It is also generally hard to convince policy-makers about the reliability of a plan and the future effect of that to get their supports. The system dynamics technique has been shown to be a proper approach for SDI planning, responding to the above issues. This paper summarizes the application of the system dynamics technique for SDI modelling in Tanzania.enSpatial data infrastructure (SDI)The system dynamics techniqueStrategic planningTanzaniaConference Proceedings
