Bosnia and Herzegovina: UNDP seeks local GIS expert to establish spatial
data repository
Deadline: *13 July 2015*
Duration of Initial Contract : Aug 2015 – June 2017, approx 120 days

The overall objective of this assignment is to establish a spatially
enabled data repository which will serve to store, maintain and manage all
information pertaining to flood risk and to link spatial and temporal
datasets such as river flows, rainfall etc.  The data repository will
provide a structured environment to enforce data integrity and support data
auditing, versioning and data quality, and to facilitate sharing of
important hydrometeorological datasets. Audit trails, as well as structured
and categorised schemas, will make data collation, manipulation and
analysis more manageable.

River basin management is inevitably a multidisciplinary and an
inter-departmental undertaking, and such a structured GIS data repository
is envisaged to provide the framework within which to approach flood risk
management in a multi-disciplinary manner and to enable data sharing among
relevant stakeholders.

In order to develop flood vulnerability maps, a GIS-based tool will be
developed to integrate various spatial socio-economic data with the flood
hazard maps, and to produce vulnerability maps, which will include damages
and loss of life estimates. In close collaboration with other technical
experts tools, methods, guidelines and procedures for recording flood
events should be developed, that will enable undertaking post-event surveys
and assessing vulnerability to flooding as well as assessing the
effectiveness of flood mitigation measures in reducing vulnerability and
damages for long-term future management of flood risk within the catchment.
Quality control and assurance system setup to ensure data quality also
needs to be established.
