Supported by the United Nations, IMY provides opportunities to demonstrate, follow, and get involved in the art, science, and technology of making and using maps and geographic information. International Map Year (IMY) started in Paris 2011 when the General Assembly of the International Cartographic Association (ICA) asked the ICA Executive Committee (EC) to follow up on the proposal given in a motion from the Swedish Cartographic Society. An IMY Working Group (WG) was constituted – it defined the IMY goals and the activities required to reach them, and it proposed a suitable time period for the IMY to the ICA EC. IMY commenced in August 2015 and ended in December 2016. The success of IMY was dependent on all member nations of the ICA participating in an effort to broaden the knowledge of cartography and geographic information in society in general, especially among citizens and school children.

The feasibility of simulating a flood event along a river channel is explored in areas near residential development in Eskilstuna community, Sweden. Hydrologically corrected digital elevation models (DEM) were created using ANUDEM algorithms available in ARC/ INFO GIS (TOPOGRID Module). Other relevant databases (such as real estate, buildings, and river channels) were topologically corrected and attributed for analysis. These data were then used to prepare inputs to MIKE21, a hydraulic numerical modelling software tool, in the specific formats for the hydrodynamic modelling, and the outputs from MIKE21 were then transferred back to GIS for visualisation and analysis. Specific Arc Macro Language (AML) and C++ programs have been developed for these data conversion and integration. Snapshots at desired time steps and animations were generated in both the GIS and MIKE21 software. ARC/ INFO GIS was used for data preparation, integration and analysis, and Arc View GIS was used to assist visualisation for end users. Field measurements were carried out to validate the hydrologic settings and assess the accuracy. The results of this study show that integration of GIS and hydrodynamic modelling is an efficient way to predict flood and obtain flood information for emergency response planning and evaluation of the degree of risk posed to local community.
