چکیده

Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) have been identified essential for environmental management and development activities around the world. Meanwhile, development of frameworks to monitor and evaluate SDIs is currently an important research area. This study proposes Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a framework for evaluation and monitoring the implementation of SDIs. The concept and advantages of BSC for strategy implementation is described in the paper. Furthermore, a general framework for the evaluation of Swedish NSDI in line with the INSPIRE (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe) directive is depicted. The case study shows that BSC is applicable for evaluating Swedish NSDI where the SDI implementation is defined as a long-term project.
