To support the introduction of operational radar forest monitoring systems in Indonesian a demonstration is executed at the Tropenbos study area in East-Kalimantan. Interest focuses on fulfilling information needs relating to land cover change, fire risk and fire damage monitoring, with main emphasis on early detection.
Bij steeds meer beleid en wetgeving spelen regelingen een rol die betrekking hebben op individuele percelen. Voor de uitvoering en evaluatie van deze regelingen bestaat er daarom grote behoefte aan perceelsgebonden informatie. Om een efficiënte verzameling, opslag en verwerking van deze informatie mogelijk te maken speelt geografische vastlegging van de grenzen van percelen een belangrijke rol.
The increasing popularity of geographical information systems (GIS) has at least three major implications for land resources survey. Firstly, GIS allows alternative and richer representation of spatial phenomena than is possible with the traditional paper map. Secondly, digital technology has improved the accessibility of ancillary data, such as digital elevation models and remotely sensed imagery, and the possibilities of incorporating these into target database production.

Produit par la plateforme des organisations de la société civile oeuvrant dans le foncier à Madagascar et en collaboration avec l’International Land Coalition, ce document présente une synthèse des études sur le système foncier dans de nombreux pays.
The Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) produces new global spatial information, evidence-based analytics describing the human presence on the planet that is based mainly on two quantitative factors: (i) the spatial distribution (density) of built-up structures and (ii) the spatial distribution (density) of resident people. Both of the factors are observed in the long-term temporal domain and per unit area, in order to support the analysis of the trends and indicators for monitoring the implementation of the 2030 Development Agenda and the related thematic agreements.
The current characteristics of a rural landscape may be better understood if suitable information related to its past is available. The availability of a Geographical Information System (GIS) can enable the analysis of landscape features in relation to several aspects, e.g., the evolution and mutual inter-relation among different ecosystems, the impact and sustainability of human activities, the visual characteristics of a landscape, etc.
