Training on the "Land cover and crop-type mapping" at GIS and Remote Sensing Knowledge Sharing Sessions to FAO Myanmar staff members
GIS has played an important role in the cognitive living space and social development of human society (Goodchild Citation, 2018). The development of GIS is accompanied by the progress of information technology. On one hand, the development of information technology promotes the progress of GIS. On the other hand, GIS also puts forward many requirements for information technology (such as: spatiotemporal big data collection, analysis, application, etc.). A GIS works with many different applications: land use planning, environmental management, climate change assessment, sociological analysis, business marketing, and more.
FAO- Myanmar has been implemented the many GIS related projects regarding to Land Use and Land Cover Mapping, Land Use Changes, Crop Type Mapping, Crop Suitability Mapping, Agro-Ecological Zoning, Watershed Mapping, Mangrove Extent Mapping, Biomass Mapping, Forest Inventory, Aquaculture Mapping, Fire Management Mapping, Forest Change Alert/ Forest Monitoring Tools Mapping, Forest Restoration Potential Mapping. Since the useful of GIS is emerge in the many sectors, FAO- Myanmar is planning to organize the knowledge sharing sessions regarding GIS and Remote Sensing Application to the interested FAO personal under the overall guidance of AFAOR (programme).
