| Descripción: | Geographic data quality is an important factor for a better success rate in Marine Spatial Planning (MSP). Although the institutions that generate data must comply with quality standards, this is not always true, which leads to limiting their use and compromises the appropriateness of decisions regarding marine space. In this study, we evaluated the quality of an information database with 39 multiscale geographic data used in an MSP developed in 2022, for an area of the coastal-marine territory in the Colombian Pacific. An approach based on quantitative and qualitative criteria was implemented to determine the quality of the geographic data under the MSPglobal orientation. Results showed that the quality of 94% of the geographic data assessed was reliable, of which 41% did not report metadata and 38% did not have a year of completion, which calls into question compliance with regional regulations for generating quality geographic information. It also became evident that most of the data analyzed came from national public institutions responsible for complying with technical guidelines to guarantee the quality of geographic data for different purposes. This study provides a practical precedent that seeks to implement quality criteria for geographic data in MSP exercises focused on available multiscale thematic data, to be incorporated into MSPglobal initiatives at the regional level. |
