Considerable resources have been used since the first activities on increasing the use and sharing of geo-information. A lot has been achieved on for example convincing politicians. Though, one of the key role players seems to be left behind in the development; the potential users. How come that only a small group of users support the initiatives.
This research aims to aid in finding the bottlenecks why only a relatively small group of users are convinced of the potential of geo-information and participate in SDI development. Besides underlining the bottlenecks this research aims to convince the users of the potentials of geo-information looking from their point of view, pointing out what users mark as important.
There seems to be a wall between the GI-specialists and the potential users because of communication.
Looking from the economic perspective of sustainable development, it is very important that initiatives are supported by all parties involved.
Our new system will
solve all your problems
You will earn a lot of money
from SDI
The world will be a safer
place with SDI
(POTENTIAL) USERS
Why should we change? Our system
works.
Why invest? It will only cost
money.
Yes, it is important, though we have
other higher priorities
What is an SDI, I’ve never heard of it
No you don’t want that, we have
something much better
Reorganize again?! We just had two big
reorganizations behind us!

A bottom-up approach has been selected to acquire the user needs. The emergency services have been used as a case study. The outcomes of the case study will be used to look if these needs are specific for this user or is a more general need.
