The aim of this module is to equip students with foundational knowledge and practical skills in Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for the collection, analysis, interpretation, and application of spatial data. The module is designed to help students understand how geospatial technologies are used to observe the Earth’s surface, solve environmental and geographical problems, support decision-making, and promote sustainable resource management and regional planning.
he module also provides a comprehensive introduction to photointerpretation, aerial photography, and photogrammetry. Students will examine different types of aerial photographs, principles of image acquisition, interpretation techniques, stereoscopic vision, and image classification methods. In addition, the module highlights the practical applications of photointerpretation and remote sensing in land use mapping, environmental assessment, urban planning, agriculture, and resource management.
