Introduction

Remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become indispensable tools for understanding our planet's complex systems and addressing a wide range of environmental, social, and economic challenges. This book proposal seeks to explore the diverse applications of remote sensing and GIS technologies, highlighting their role in spatial analysis and decision-making across various domains. The proposed book will offer a comprehensive overview of remote sensing principles, GIS techniques, and their integration to address real-world problems. It will cover a wide range of applications, including urban planning, environmental monitoring, agriculture, forestry, disaster management, natural resource management, and public health.

Objective

The book aims to serve as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, students, and policymakers interested in understanding the diverse applications of remote sensing and GIS technologies for spatial analysis and decision-making across various domains. Case studies, examples, and practical applications will be included to illustrate the relevance and impact of these technologies in addressing real-world challenges and advancing scientific knowledge

Target Audience

The intended audience for this publication encompasses a diverse range of stakeholders involved in spatial analysis, including:Researchers and academics in the fields of geography, environmental science, urban planning, agriculture, public health, and related disciplines, seeking to expand their knowledge and understanding of remote sensing, GIS, and emerging technologies.Practitioners and professionals working in government agencies, non-profit organizations, consulting firms, and industries involved in spatial data analysis, decision-making, and policy formulation.Students at the undergraduate and graduate levels studying geography, environmental science, urban planning, GIS, remote sensing, and related fields, looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of spatial analysis techniques and their applications.Policymakers and stakeholders involved in environmental management, disaster response, urban development, natural resource conservation, public health planning, and other sectors, seeking evidence-based solutions and decision support tools.Technological innovators and entrepreneurs interested in exploring the potential applications of emerging technologies such as UAVs, LiDAR, hyperspectral imaging, machine learning, and AI in spatial analysis and decision-making processes.
