Abstract

Municipalities, emergency services, police, sports clubs, and private contractors help ensure that you can participate in well-organized outdoor events such as Roskilde Festival, Folkemødet, and DGI sport summits. Large outdoor events require long-term planning and coordination across authorities to ensure compliance with environmental and safety regulations.

Close coordination between authorities requires that all stakeholders have access to the same, up-to-date decision-making information. Therefore, it is an advantage if authorities work closely together using the same map-based information. This requires data standardization, which is why KL has developed a common public concept and data model that guides organizers and authorities in registering these shared data - both for maps that are publicly available in apps and for maps that never leave the authorities’ operational systems.

Keywords: Emergency preparedness, GIS, maps, geodata, outdoor events, festivals, carnivals, sport summits, police, emergency health services, environmental protection, construction, business.
