ABSTRACT
At first a general analysis of the content of LIS and GIS takes place.
Critical research for a suitable combination of instruction of subjects of LIS/GIS with Photogrammetry and
Remote Sensing follows.
The facing of the subject takes place mainly from the point of instruction, research and applications.in
the frame of Civil Engineer ’s requirements (it concerns the Department of Civil Engineers of the Polyte-
chnic School in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki).
1. INTRODUCTION
LIS/GIS nowadays have wide dissemination.
Considerations as well applications concerning
them are many sided.
Among others, the purpose of each LIS/GIS is a
determinative factor for the whole planning.
Interrelations of the possibilities of LIS/GIS
with different scientific and technologic directi-
ons are of particular importance.
Relatively to Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing
the interest is continously growing.
In the context of University courses the above
gain great importance.
In this paper we refer relatively to the Depart-
ment of Civil Engineers in Aristotle University
of Thessaloniki.
In this Department from the academic year 1986-87
the following subjects were introduced and are be-
ing instructed
Photogrammetry and
Photointerpretation Remote Sensing Geoinformation
Systems.
Relevant observations to the activities in these
Scientific directions (subjects that are being
instructed, diplomas, thesis, research etc.) were
presented in the past (5).
The Department of Civil Engineers includes the
following divisions:
Structural Engineering
Hydraulics and environmental Engineering
Transport and Organization and
Geotechnical Engineering.
Many objects of these divisions have the necessi-
ty to be served by the possibilities of LIS/GIS.
This, of course, can be done without referring to
Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.
What we are interested in and consists the subject
205
of this paper is the cooperation-combination of
Photogrammetry-Remote Sensing with LIS/GIS and
furthermore the combined contribution to the study
of subjects that the above four divisions are in-
terested in.
From this point of view a suitable revision of (5)
concerning teaching subjects is being done emphasi-
zing on several-specific subjects.
2. ASPECTS CONCERNING THE COMBINATION OF LIS/GIS
TO THE INSTRUCTION OF PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND REMOTE
SENSING
2.1 The above purpose is faced mainly on the base
of the following necessities-factors-directions:
-Developing requirements of the country (at natio-
nal and local level).
-Particularities of the Greek area (natural and
cultural environment).
-Location and study of the areas of interest of the
divisions in the Dept. of Civil Engineers that may
be served by the combination of Photogrammetry-
Remote Sensing with LIS/GIS.
-Considerations relatively to the structure and the
applications of LIS/GIS.
-Directions of developing methods and equipment of
Photogrammetry-Remote Sensing.
-Other relevant techologic evolutions (computers
etc).
-Experience from the instruction of Photogrammetry
and Remote Sensing in the Dept. of Civil Engineers.
2.2 The above compose determinative factors to the
formation of the teaching framework of Photogram-
metry-Remote Sensing and LIS/GIS, concerning their
combination-cooperation to face better the subjects
of the divisions in the Dept. of Civil Engineers.
Data, Software and Hardware can be considered as
the basic parts of LIS/GIS.
In this phase, we are interested mainly in Data,
that is, for the formation of a teaching framework
of subjects of Photogrammetry-Remote Sensing that
can serve the acquisition of suitable data accord-
ing to the intentions.
