B33 Plan spatial data processes

B33.1 Identify mapping and data requirements

Performance Criteria - this involves being able to...
(a)identify what survey data is needed, how accurate the survey data needs to be and what survey data outputs are required from the mapping
(b)make a preliminary investigation to identify any access problems and equipment which will be needed, assessing the implications and summarise them
(c)develop a clear and accurate method statement, a programme and a budget for the mapping, and agree them with the stakeholders
(d)choose mapping methods and compilation sources which are suitable for the purpose
(e)select, plan and schedule processes for the collection of compilation material, the compiling and managing of data, and the presentation of results
(f)commission mapping by selecting people and organisations who are competent to do the work / The Range...

B33.1 Identify mapping and data requirements

The Evidence - performance and process
Product Evidence:
(1)Record(s) of a preliminary investigation which identifies the data requirements and an assessment of the implications of access problems (a,b) [1,2]
(2)Method statement(s), a programme and a budget for the survey (c) [2]
(3)Mapping methods and scheduling process for collection of compilation sources (d,e)[3,4]
(4)Specification(s) for contractors (f)
Process Evidence:
None applicable / The Evidence - knowledge and understanding
(1)What do you identify as survey data and level of accuracy needed and outputs required from the mapping? (understanding) (a) [1,2]
(2)How do you summarise the implications of any access problems and equipment which will be needed? (application) (b) [2,4]
(3)How and why do you make a preliminary investigation to identify and assess the implications of any access problems and equipment which will be needed? (analysis) (b)
(4)How and why do you develop a clear and accurate method statement, a programme and a budget for the mapping? (synthesis) (c) [4]
(5)How and why do you agree with the client a clear and accurate method statement, a programme and a budget for the mapping? (evaluation) (c) [4]
(6)How and why do you commission mapping? (evaluation) (f) [4]
(7)How do you choose mapping methods and compilation sources which are suitable for the purpose? (application) (d) [3,4]
(8)How do you select, plan and schedule processes for the collection of compilation material, the compiling and managing of data, and the presentation of results? (application) (e) [2,3]
