Symbology
Based on the Study 'Cartographic Recommendations for Humanitarian Demining Map Symbols in the Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA)', a first set of symbols was developed in 2005 for inclusion in IMSMANG. The current IMSMA symbology may be found in C:\IMSMAng\server\gis\maps\IMSMA.style.
Land Release Symbology (pending approval by the IMAS review board)
A new set of mine action symbols has been developed by the GICHD in consultation with the mine action community. The 33 point and polygon symbols capture the main attribute values for various hazard categories and mine action activities required to depict the land release process on maps.
The symbols can be downloaded below in different GIS compatible formats to be used for various desktop and web applications, such as IMSMA, ArcGIS desktop, ArcGIS online, Google Earth, and others.
For usage in web applications, the image URLs of point symbols as well as a detailed description of the polygon symbols are available below.
The Technical Note 07.11/01-2015 provides a detailed description on the methodology and the design considerations applied to develop the land release symbols, as well as guidance on how to implement the symbology in GIS products. The symbols are further listed in Annex C to the IMAS 07.11 Land Release.
