International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) Netherlands is an organization that deals with various geo-information techniques to protect our environment.
History of development :
With the increasing population the exploitation of natural resources has become so extensive that our natural environment is under enormous threat. The renewable resources like sunlight or wind are not creating any problem, but the nonrenewable resources like petroleum, coal etc. are exploited in an ill-cultured as well as unscientific method so that the total reserve of the earth will be finished soon. To bring an end to the serious problem,
International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) Netherlands was established in 1950 by the former Prime Minister of Netherlands.
Aims and objectives of the International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) Netherlands :
- Scientific exploration of resources.
- Optimum utilization of resources so that maximum output can be get from minimum utilization of resources.
- Development of various rules and policies regarding resource exploration and resource utilization.
- Development and utilization of various geo-information tool to obtain precise information about concerned problem.
- Comprehensive earth observation to generate spatial information on a world wide basis.
- International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation Netherlands develops various data consolidation techniques.
- Land use planning for rural problems like forest fire mapping, land slide mapping, wild life mapping to urban infrastructure mapping like development of industrial sectors, checking the reasons for environmental pollution etc.
Project services :
International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) Netherlands carries out different types of educational and scientific projects which are as follows -
- Development of institutions
- Development and researches on contractual basis
- Contract training
- Advisory services
Thus, the
International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) Netherlands is dealing with a very contemporary issue which can save our world from future exploitation.
