New database to be set up in five years
A mapping database using a 1:4,000 scale will be made available in the next five years in a move to standardise usage as well as help with the preparation for long-term planning and developments in the country, Deputy Prime Minister Plodprasop Suraswadi announced Monday.
The new GPS system will also be useful when implementing some of the projects under the Bt350-billion water-management scheme and the Bt2.2 trillion strategy for large-scale infrastructure, in addition to other projects including setting out farming zones or forest and land management, he added.
