executed on certain type of instrument could be also
enumerated. Links could be given to further information.
Subsection 2.7. is designed to provide information about
the state of professionalists.
Subsection 2.7.a gives income of employees per annum
(in US$ as in the year of publication of the report). The
tables shown below are examples:
Level A provides information of average yearly income,
only: :
Governmental staff from 105 US$
University teachers from u 190:::: US$
Private employees from: 10 USS
Number of unemployed professionals
Level B gives the yearly income in more classes:
Governmental Age over
Officers 20 30 40 50
Pension
Academic staff
Technicians
Subsidiary
University Age over
Teachers 20 30 40 50
Pension
Professors
Docents,Dr.
Assistants,Mr.
Private Age over
Employees 20 30 40 50
Pension
Academic staff
Technicians
Subsidiary
Level C describes age of retirement, measures against
unemployment, existing plans and measures for future
development of employment of professionals.
Subsection 2.7.b is designed to provide data about
resources of qualified manpower existing on the Member
territory. Only employed and no free professionals, or
too many unemployed are syndroms of situations, which
need consideration for regional or international
cooperation. The same is valid for lack of manpower in all
or some special professional fields. Basic informations for
such social questions are statistics on various levels and
kinds of specialization, the status of employment, a
comparison between the number of specialists available
and required. This information is needed anyhow in all
countries for proper planning of education facilities.
At Level A the professionals in PRS could be counted in
age groups (under 30, 30-45, 45-60, over 60 years old);
in qualification and specialisation groups: Photogram-
metry, remote sensing, GIS; undergraduated, graduated,
postgraduated.

At Level B more social data would be requested as at
level A: The kind of employment (part time: under 50 %,
over 50 %, full time), the types of employing
organisations (government, private, his own private, non-
profit organisation). Also information about the number of
years of profession practising till now would be inter-
esting. Here also a table giving total number of employed
person-years in organisations having certain employment
(over 25 person-years, 6-25, 1-5, less than 1), and
number of employing organisations in each of the
employment groups.
At Level C any comments, specially about employment
systems, working conditions and trends of changing of
employment patterns would be very advantageous.
7. PROPOSED CONTENT OF A SECTION 3
CONCERNING COOPERATION
It is well known truism that cooperation stimulates pro-
gress, stimulates people to modernise technology, to
undertake challenging research and to develop projects.
Often very distant bodies - distant not only geo-
graphically, but also thematically - develop cooperation
which produces new quality in science or production.
Geographical distance becomes more and more unim-
portant considering the modern communication means:
telephone, telefax, internet email and multimedia,
cooperation becomes easier and easier. A record of
cooperation activities would not only be important for
historians of our profession, but would also serve as an
example for others and significantly influence their further
development. Cooperation is possible in many ways and
in a variety of cooperation fields. It is believed that the
future analysis of the Member Reports would provide ade-
quate classification of cooperation activities. The role of
the Member Society in information exchange stimulation
must be great.
Therefore this Section should provide detailed
information about the Member Society, its organisation
and internal structure, the internal activities, the external
links to other societies and other professional fields, and
about cooperative projects. It is aimed to show how
bridges are built between own internal groupings as well
as to different other professional fields.
Subsection 3.1 deals with the internal structure of the
Member Society, its thematic and regional branches and
their general, multilateral and bilateral activities.
Level A shows the number of thematic branches, regional
branches, and also of activities as for example meetings,
workshops, symposia, round table conferences, or
journals, newsletters, social events.
Level B is more specific: number of members, number of
participants, of issues, of volumes, a.s.o.
Level C: Keywords, themes, fields covered. Detailed
descriptions of events.
Subsection 3.2 concerns the external relations. Geo-
matics, for example, may be embedded within a Ministry
of Regional Planning or Agriculture or Finance or Law,
etc. But we find Geomatics also at the Universities which
are linked to Education and sometimes to Regional
International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Vol. XXXI, Part B6. Vienna 1996
