Geospatial Portals

With its wealth of Geographic Information System (GIS) expertise, Lands Department develops and provides handy web-map service portals to users across Government Bureaux/Departments (B/Ds) as well as the general public as follows.

The HKSAR Government launched on 3 February 2020 this Interactive Map Dashboard for effective dissemination of information on the latest situation of the novel coronavirus epidemic in Hong Kong. The Dashboard is jointly developed and managed by the Development Bureau, Lands Department and a group of volunteers from the Smart City Consortium. Datasets, now available to the public through data.gov.hk of the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer, are contributed by the Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health, Hospital Authority, and relevant government bureaux and departments.

The CSDI Portal was launched in December 2022 as the government initiative to support the development of smart city in Hong Kong. Its goal is to serve as an one-stop spatial data portal for different stakeholders to discover, interpret, share, and reuse the diverse spatial data for developing smart applications.

Common Spatial Data Infrastructure (CSDI) Portal

The District-based Spatial Information Dashboard is one of the four quick-win projects under Common Spatial Data Infrastructure (CSDI) comprising the prototypes of ‘Temporary Vacant Government Sites’, ‘Elderly Services’ and ‘Childcare Services’ to convey district-based analytics to users by using intuitive and interactive data visualisations on a single screen based on general public interest.

The Geo-tagging Tool is a web application that helps users to convert textual and non-spatial data (e.g. demographic data) into a form of spatial data for displaying on a digital map and further development of geospatial applications. The Tool supports users to:

Import textual records for geo-tagging
Geo-tag records on map interface
Download geo-tagged data in open and machine-readable formats

What’s Geo-tagging Tool

Using Geo-tagging Tool wisely

To demonstrate the potential application of 3D Visualisation Map and spatial data CSDI portal in December 2022, “Open3Dhk” transformed a large variety of spatial data into user-friendly applications which can support diverse users by the general public, the academia and professionals. Through the interactive functions on the platform, users can view photorealistic 3D city models of Kowloon East and Kowloon Central, building information and the approximate lot boundaries.

“Open3Dhk” provides the following functions

“Hiking Trail” application theme provides intuitive profile graphs and gradients of hiking trails
“Cycling Facilities” application theme provides cycling tracks and bicycle parking space
“First-person View” function enables users to have a detailed understanding of the surrounding environment of a location
“Visualisation API” facilitates streaming data of 3D maps for developing web services or applications

The GeoInfo Map is a public web map service which was launched in May 2010. It provides free and convenient public access to accurate maps of Hong Kong, as well as providing the location and related information about various public facilities and services. It enables government departments to release to the public their latest geospatial data with satisfactory system performance and user experience. The public can conveniently access digital maps using various platforms, including tablet computers and smartphones, as well as integrate various geospatial data for different applications.

LandsD launched the HKSAR Geospatial Information Hub (GIH) in 2004, to support the internal operation and information sharing within the Government. Through the GIH, geospatial data and related information collected from various departments can be effectively distributed and shared across the whole government.

LandsD has been collaborating with different government B/Ds in making GIH an ideal platform for disseminating geospatial information with the aim of delivering better public services. Advanced functions in the GIH, including spatial analysis and trend display functions, have been developed to facilitate efficient visualisation and retrieval of spatial data by officers in government departments. This facilitates their daily work and decision-making processes, thus enhancing their services to the public.

Hong Kong Map Service 2.0 (HKMS 2.0) is a one-stop platform providing round-the-clock service for ordering and downloading digital map products, paper map products and cadastral survey records to the public.
