The Dominican Republic (DR) is a small island developing state (SIDS) highly exposed to
disaster-risk phenomena, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, etc. The Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI)
enables coordination and sharing of spatial information and services from multiple sources, while
emergency mapping operations (EMO) help decision-makers build a common operational picture
(COP) of impacted communities. Assessment of future scenarios for SDI implementation to meet
emergency mapping goals requires the consideration of a wide range of stakeholders with different
objectives. We make use of multi-actor multi-criteria analysis (MAMCA) in the case study of DR to
evaluate government, private sector, emergency mapping team (EMT), and academia perspectives of
three governance scenarios (Going-Concern, Increasing-Hierarchy, and Increasing-Network) for SDI
implementation. Our findings suggest that the ‘Increasing Network’ scenario is the most suitable
for SDI implementation. A well-coordinated inter-organizational network through a SDI should
empower more stakeholders to participate in EMO. This work highlighted the increase of publicprivate
partnerships as a key criterion to share costs and efforts to effectively support emergency
mapping tasks. Findings reported herein could assist decision-makers in designing roadmaps to
enhance SDI implementation in the DR. This knowledge will also support future studies/practices in
other SIDS, which share similar natural hazards and development issues.
