Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI) User Needs Assessments
A User Needs Assessment (UNA) and User-centered Design (UCD) study has been completed to assess the capacity and current requirements of existing and new users of the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI).
To address the needs of major stakeholder groups for the CGDI, the study was structured in two parts:
Part A - Canadian stakeholders, including federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal governments, academia, private sector, and non-government organizations.
Part B - Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, Métis) organizations in Canada, including Indigenous governments, Tribal Councils, Treaty Organizations, Indigenous NGOs/Non-profits, and Indigenous-owned private companies.
Please visit the CGDI Resource Centre to access the complete study as well as other CGDI publications.- Date modified:
