State of the Map Asia (SotM-Asia) is the annual regional conference of OpenStreetMap (OSM) organized by OSM communities in Asia. First SotM-Asia was organized in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2015, and the second was organized in Manila, Philippines in 2016. This year’s conference, third in the series, was organized in Kathmandu, Nepal on September 23 – 24, 2017 at Park Village Resort, Budhanilkantha, Kathmandu, Nepal.
We brought nearly 200 Open Mapping enthusiasts from Asia and beyond to this year’s SotM-Asia. The event provided an opportunity to share knowledge and experience among mappers; expand their network; and generate ideas to expand map coverage and effective use of OSM data in Asian continent. We chose ‘from creation to use of OSM data’ as the theme of this year’s conference, emphasizing on the effective use of OSM data. We also brought together a government panel from four different countries in this year’s SotM-Asia. We believe this event will deepen the bond and enhance collaboration among OSM communities across Asia.

26. CHALLENGES / ISSUES
• Due to lack of state government, proposed works hadn’t completed.
( Validation of work )
•Limitation of voluntarily work without fund, difficult to put time and energy
for long period of time.
•Complete affected houses yet to be demolished in the core settlement area
in various wards.
•Highly affected major income source of the people working in daily basis
payment. It will take longer duration to recover from the loss and sustain their
life. Till date lots of families are living in temporary shelter.

facilitate the rebuilding activities in coordination with municipalities.
