Based on the Study [http://www.gichd.org/fileadmin/GICHD-resources/rec-documents/IMSMA-Symbology-FinalReport.pdf '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 The GICHD has developed a new set of mine action symbols has been developed by the GICHD that is in consultation line with the mine action community in 2015IMAS 07.11 Land Release. The 33 32 point and polygon symbols capture the main attribute values for various hazard land categories and mine action activities required to depict the land release process on maps.

The symbols can be downloaded For usage in different GIS compatible formats to be used for various desktop and web applications, such the image URLs of point symbols as well as IMSMA, ArcGIS desktop, ArcGIS online, Google Earth, and others. * [[:File:LR_Symbology_Style.zip|Style files]]* [[:File:Land_Release_True_Font_Symbolsa detailed description of the polygon symbols are available in the table below.rar|True Font files]]

For usage in web applications, A detailed description on the methodology and the design considerations applied to develop the image URLs of point symbols , as well as a detailed description of guidance on how to implement the symbology in GIS products is provided in the polygon new Technical Note 07.11/01-2016 Land Release Symbology. The symbols are further included as an annex to the IMAS 07.11 Land Release. These documents are available in on the table below[http://www.mineactionstandards.org/ IMAS Website]

The Technical Note 07'''[[Media:LR Symbology.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 zip |symbols ]]''' are further listed available in Annex C to the IMAS 07.11 Land ReleaseArcGIS ''style'' format.
