Learn how to use ArcGIS Survey123 to efficiently collect data on mine action activities in your program. Discover how to design and build customized Survey123 forms to streamline data entry, improve accuracy, and enhance decision-making in the field. 


Aim

ArcGIS Survey123 can be used to collect data on mine action activities in your programme. The creation of surveys that follow the minimum data requirements set by International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) 5.10 is essential to the Information Management Cycle, because the structure of the survey also determines the structure of the collected mine action database that stores your reports. This course introduces you to the basics of survey creation in ArcGIS Survey123 Connect, including question types, choice list creation, and customisation options. Additionally, you will apply what you learn about minimum data requirements and Survey123 to build two commonly used forms in mine action programmes: the Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) survey form and the Non-technical Survey (NTS) form.

The self-paced eLearning module contribute towards gaining fundamental knowledge on IMSMA Core
