摘要:In the Japanese government, several organizations
are responsible for fundamental surveying, mapping and
charting projects. Basic geodetic surveys are carried out
mainly by the Geographical Survey Institute (GSI) and the
Hydrographic and Oceanographic Department (HOD), and
various cartographic works are conducted by the GSI, the
HOD, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport
(MLIT), which the National Land Agency (NLA) was
integrated into due to the governmental restructuring in
2001, the Geological Survey of Japan/AIST (GSJ/AIST)
and other organizations. In order to provide technical
assistance and implement the transfer of technology in the
field of cartography, these bodies are actively engaged in
various technical cooperative projects, implemented by
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), which is
commissioned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
