GIS databases can be used to automate the production of information about places and the analysis of geographical relationships. Remote Sensing is the science and art of acquiring information (spectral, spatial, and temporal) about material objects, area, or phenomenon, without any direct physical contact with the objects, or area, or phenomenon under investigation. However, in order to transform such data into useful information and thereby to create knowledge and finally to apply, they must not only be efficiently managed, but also processed and analyzed before being displayed in a proper format. Geo-spatial technologies greatly help us achieving this task. Accordingly, the GIS is a relatively new academic subject and it is being used by more than 100 different academic disciplines as a research tool.<\/p><p>Thus, the Department offers this degree program to;<\/p><ul><li>Enable better awareness and application of Geo-spatial technologies for effective decision-making practices,<\/li><li>Enable other network co-operation initiatives, furthering research and development skills, and transfer opportunities between the stakeholders and the beneficiaries of the program,<\/li><li>Create academic, research and application environments with State of the Art technology and skills in the field of Geo-spatial technologies, and<\/li><li>Offer a self-sustainable best practice of Geo-spatial technologies benefiting the direct participants of the program with a view to transfer necessary experience in planning, management and rational-use of spatial information for better understanding and visualization of different phenomena<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40126f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"
