8. ECONOMICS AND PLANNING AS PART OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS IN PH 
poe 
TRY 
The present malaise in many national economics as well as in the world eco- 
nomy necessitate to become more economy-minded. This applies also to iech- 
nical projects /e.g. photogrammetric mapping projects/. Such projects must 
be executed in the most economic way which is only possible if the project 
manager in charge is an expert in efficient planning and is able to perfor: 
macro- and micro-economic analyses / cost-benefit studies /. This applies 
also to professionals in charge of photogrammetric pro jects. The necessary 
basic elements to achieve competency in these fields obviously have to be 
a part of a comprehensive education program in photogrammetry particularly 
  
on the university level. Including instruction in economics and planning in 
comprehensive photogrammetric education programs is considered as an impor- 
tant requirement as is evidenced from the replies to our questionnaire. All 
reporters replying stressed the importance of this matter. This requirement 
might impose some obligations to photogrammetry teachers as they must be 
experts in these fields themselves in order to effectively instruct their 
students to become expert project planner and to be able to evaluate the 
economics of projects proposed and executed. Consequently the recommenda- 
tion can be formulated that in all comprehensive photogrammetry education 
programs particularly on the university level instruction in efficient pro- 
ject planning and economic analysis should be included. 
9. PHOTOGRAMMETRIC EDUCATION AND RESEARCH 
It is commonly accepted that at institutions at which photogrammetry is ta- 
ught the teachers in charge should conduct photogrammetric research projects 
at which advanced students participate.As the funds for such research pro- 
jects usually come from the tax payer's contributions it can be requested 
that such research be performed in an efficent way.To achieve this goal it 
might be desirable to coordinate photogrammetric research on a national le- 
vel and as far as feasible even on an international level. In addition to 
this it might be necessary to set fourth a scheme of priorities for research 
problems whose solutions might be of prime interest to the nation or to 
a progressive development of photogrammetry in general. This means answers 
have to found to the question which photogrammetric research projects are 
to be given first priority. To receive the opinion on this item of the pho- 
togrammetric community on an international level we have included a perti- 
nent question in our questionnaire. From the replies received from the na- 
tional reporters it follows that besides various problems in classical pho-
