With the advent of modern computational techniques and the rapid development in this area, this helped to improve the work efficiency in terms of human and technical resources in various fields. This rapid development of spatial technologies in recent years has made available new tools and capabilities to Extension services and clientele for management of spatial data. In particular, the evolution of geographic information systems (GIS), the global positioning system (GPS), and remote sensing (RS) technologies has enabled the collection and analysis of field data in ways that were not possible before the advent of the computer .
How can potential users with little or no experience with GIS-GPS-RS technologies determine if they would be useful for their applications? How do potential users learn about these technologies? Once a need is established, what potential pitfalls or problems should the user know to avoid ?
we "GISTRAIN" will offer to our value clients useful products, services and training to identify to the users the importance of GIS-GPS-RS and how to utilize it in all different fields such as agricultural and resource management applications, provides a roadmap this will provide easy access to information as soon as possible with high accuracy to becoming familiar with the technologies, and makes recommendations for implementation .
Featured Case Study
Infectious Disease Management in Russia
For a number of years, the Russian State Research Center for Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology (SRCAMB), in collaboration with NeoGeography R&D Group (Technopark Protvino), explored the various spatial and temporal dynamics of infectious diseases. However, the organization found that traditional GIS and spatial approaches had obvious limits. By investigating new spatial-temporal approaches, SRCAMB was looking for better quality of analysis of heterogeneous datasets within a common 4D environment. To aid this effort, SRCAMB is implementing both ERDAS IMAGINE and ERDAS APOLLO.
