Discussion on Day 4 of the Conference
Introduction
A conference of 200 people from different Pacific islands actively involved in GIS and RS gives the opportunity to discuss methods of GIS and RS application, which work well in Europe and North America but need adaptation and development to be deployed in Pacific Island Countries. A discussion will be held again at the end of the Conference. The discussion will be documented on the PICISOC website and followed up by the special interest group on GIS&RS within the PICISOC. The time windows for each topic will be announced in the Conference schedule. Each topic will be introduced by a PPT presentation and prior to the Conference status and development will be discussed on GIS-PacNet.
This year, there will be four persons on the panel guiding the discussion:
a) Prof. Tuan Chen, representative of ISPRS,
b) Conway Pene USP, PICISOC,
c) Wolf Forstreuter SOPAC, PICISOC,
d) (changing) a specialist who is involved in the specific topic
So far there are 11 topics (the discussion on GIS-PacNet might increase the number) listed below.
