Natural resources have a limit. For that, people need to manage those resources to be used on an ongoing basis. One way is by utilizing the data and geospatial information. geospatial data that can later be processed into information that can be used as a tool in policy formulation. Thus, the policy is beneficial to the prosperity of the people in a sustainable manner. It was described by Deputy Remote Sensing Lapan, Drs. Taufik Maulana, MBA, at the International Seminar on Geospatial and Human Dimension on Sustainable Natural Resource Management, on Monday (12 / 9). The seminar took place at IPB International Convention Center.

In line with Taufik, Rector of Bogor Agricultural University, Prof.. Herry Suhardiyanto, saying that spatial planning plays an important role in the management of natural resources. "Spatial information is useful for the management of natural resources is good They'll be able to reduce poverty," he said.  Geospatial data obtained from satellite-based remote sensing both optical and radar. One session of this international seminar to discuss the utilization of remote sensing satellite-based radar. Session whose theme is geosarnas retrievals Emerging Geospatial Information and Applications . This session was organized by Lapan, IPB, RAN, and the Society of Remote Sensing (Mapin). Apparently the satellite-based radar has many advantages. In obtaining the data, the satellite of this type does not rely on sunlight so it can take pictures day or night. In addition, these satellites can take pictures of the areas covered in cloud and smoke. Read More
