GIS and RS Integrated Framework for Supporting Planners and Decision Makers

Abstract

The power of integrations planning supports decision makers to take the right decision in the right time. In order to have good plan, we should gather different kind of information with different perspectives and sources. The integration between all kinds of information supports decision makers to set the right plans and logic strategies in order to achieve their expected goals.Decision makers may suffer from information leakage, un-integrated information from different sources; information which does not represent the current status of reality and ability to represent information geographically. Decision makers should use modern technologies and tools in order to overcome the obstacles which they may face.Remote sensing and Geographic information system can provide realistic source of data and logic solutions which can support the decision makers to take the right decision in the right time. Decision makers should use remote sensing technology  in order to set their future planning and select their right strategies because remote sensing is the science to obtain the date remotely either phenomena like temperature, humidity or even satellite images which provides a realistic representation for the land which may enable the decision maker to track changes which may happened on specific feature  or even extract a specific feature and get the different statistics  or measurements which  definitely important to set the right plans Geographic information system support decision makers by realistic solutions and excellent geographic  data representation  and even the ability to join and migrate different sources of data to be liked geographically with the related features.
