In order to obtain the necessary information a special ques- 
tionnaire was mailed by the Chairman of ISPRS WG-1 to each 
regional sub-working group chairman. In addition, the sub- 
working group chairmen were asked to nominate for each country 
in their sub-working group regions at least one national del- 
egate being a member of the respective sub-working group. 
Furthermore, the sub-working group chairmen were asked to 
forward to their national delegates copies of the special 
questionnaire for completion. Finally, each sub-working group 
chairman was asked to undertake (in collaboration with the 
national delegates) an inventory of the available photogram- 
metry and remote sensing manpower in his respective sub-working 
group region. 
Furthermore, the sub-working group chairmen were encouraged to 
personally attend the Commission VI Symposium in Badagry, 
Nigeria and they were asked to present at the Symposium a 
short progress report on the activities of their sub-working 
group and also to forward such a report to the working group 
chairman before the Symposium. 
Finally, the sub-working group chairmen were asked to prepare 
a report on their findings (surveys) for their sub-working 
group regions with an analysis of the data collected, con- 
clusions and recommendations; a report (paper) which could be 
eventually submitted to the 1988 ISPRS Kyoto Congress (Pre- 
sented Papers). 
INVENTORY ON THE WORLD'S PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND REMOTE SENSING MANPOWER 
According to Ref. 1 there was in 1984 a photogrammetry and 
remote sensing manpower in the world of 150,000 persons. It 
was the task of the ISPRS WG VI-1 to up-date this figure up to 
the 1988 ISPRS Congress in Kyoto. Also it is of importance 
for education planning for the future to determine the ratio 
U:T:A where: 
U Personnel with a completed university level education 
of the equivalent. 
Tq Personnel with a completed technician level education, 
and 
A Auxiliary personnel (auxiliary plotter operators, photo 
lab personnel, etc.). 
In photogrammetry and remote sensing this ratio is still not 
yet exactly known. However, such a ratio has been determined 
in 1976 for the world's total Surveying & Mapping (OS 5& M) 
manpower. According to Ref. 2, this ratio amounted to:
