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 \u2018Increasing Network\u2019 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 public-private 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.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi12050184","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,28]],"date-time":"2023-04-28T01:33:40Z","timestamp":1682645620000},"page":"184","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Assessing SDI Implementation Scenarios to Facilitate Emergency Mapping Operations in the Dominican Republic"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9325-2121","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gregorio","family":"Rosario Michel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Governance Institute (PGI), KU Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"},{"name":"Escuela de Agrimensura, Facultad de Ingenier\u00eda y Arquitectura, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Santo Domingo (UASD), Cuidad Universitaria, Santo Domingo 10103, Dominican Republic"},{"name":"Escuela de Agrimensura, Universidad Nacional Pedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a (UNPHU), Santo Domingo 10602, Dominican Republic"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Ester","family":"Gonzalez-Campos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Geograf\u00eda, Facultad de Arquitectura, Urbanismo y Geograf\u00eda, Universidad de Concepci\u00f3n, Concepci\u00f3n 4070386, Chile"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6834-3654","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fernando","family":"Manzano Aybar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela de Ingenier\u00eda Electr\u00f3nica, Facultad de Ciencias e Ingenier\u00edas, Universidad APEC, Santo Domingo 10100, Dominican Republic"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1077-597X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joep","family":"Crompvoets","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Governance Institute (PGI), KU Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"665","DOI":"10.1080\/13658810410001702030","article-title":"Assessing the worldwide developments of national spatial data clearinghouses","volume":"18","author":"Crompvoets","year":"2004","journal-title":"Int.
