are e.g. forest inventory and monitoring changes in forest condition. A remarkable project in the field of remote sensing has been to check the areas of cultivated land in applications for EU-support. Ice field monitoring is concentrated to interpret the ice situation at the Gulf of Bothnia, the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic Sea. The data type used is mainly NOAA-images, another data used is ERS-1-data and the use of it has been increasing. The real-time system for transmitting satellite-date products to icebreakers is in operational use. The Satellite Image Centre, a new national unit, was established in the National Land Survey in February 1995. The centre imports and distributes satellite images, it takes care of the initial processing of the remote sensing data, offers educational and technical services for the users. One task of the Satellite Image Centre is to take care of contacts with remote sensing organizations of other countries. Research activities in the field of remote sensing are concentrated e.g. to develop more automatic methods for interpretation and classification of satellite images, rule-based methods, neural networks and fuzzy sets have been under investigation. The use of multi-source image data for interpretation and radiometric calibration of satellite images has been also intensively studied. 4. DEVELOPMENT OF GIS AND DIGITAL MAPPING During the past four years, the focus of mapping activities have been on the revision, the mapping at larger scales and the production of digital maps. Typical for this period has been the remarkably increased and still increasing amount of different numerical map-data. Today the latest edition of the Basic Map, scale 1:20000, is available on raster form as datasets of planimetric details, contours, waters and fields. Most of the datasets are also available in vector form. Other products available in digital form are: e Nordic Map Database, scale 1:2 millions National Road Database Administrative Boundaries Digital Elevation Model Land Use and Forest Classification. The Topographic Data System consists of the most detailed general topographic data with nation-wide coverage and the map databases. Data inside it covers 23 % of the area of Finland. The Topographic database is used as a basis for variety of standard products as well as products customised to user's needs. The producer of naval charts in Finland is the Hydrographic Department of the Finnish Maritime Administration. It has published a chart series for yachtsmen in raster form on CD- ROM in spring 1995 and coastal charts covering the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland. Nautical charts have made in numerical form covering southern part of lake Saimaa and waters between cities of Savonlinna and Kuopio. During the digitisation process, the precision of charts has been improved using e.g. a new digital coastline. Other organizations besides the National Land Survey, which is responsible for small scale mapping covering the whole country, there are private surveying companies and municipal surveying organizations producing digital maps. They produce International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Vol. XXXI, Part B6. Vienna 1996 normally large-scale maps for purposes like land use planning and road building. Other produced large-scale data are digital elevation models and digital terrain models. GIS has increased the need and production of digital map-data in cities and other municipalities. The Geographic Information Centre at the National Land Survey is responsible for stimulating geographic information activities in Finland. To implement geographic information services and to develop standards and tools are its main tasks. The real-time information service on geographical data is already available. User can define queries by pointing entities, attributes and areas and by typing restricting values of attributes using some GIS application, for example MapInfo, ArcView2 etc. Service centre routes modified queries to the supplier where the database containing the needed data exists. The aim of the Geographic Information Centre is to implement the data services for geographic data covering all important national datasets by the year 1996. 5. EDUCATION AND RESEARCH 5.1. Education Education in surveying at the university level is centred to the Helsinki University of Technology (HUT) in the department of Surveying. Annual intake is 55 students of which 22 will study surveying and mapping technology and 33 property economics and law. The average amount of graduated on M.Sc. level is about 40 persons each year. There are different entrance examinations for these two study directions. The system of two different entrance examinations was taken in use in year 1993. University level education in fundamentals of photogrammetry and remote sensing and special courses in the determination of forms and deformations, is also given at the Tampere University of Technology (TUT). Fundamentals of remote sensing are also taught in the department of geography and forestry at the University of Oulu, in the departments of geography and biology. Education in the field of remote sensing is given as well at the University of Turku and at the University of Joensuu in the department of forestry. One remarkable change in education during these for years has been that in Espoo-Vantaa, Mikkeli, Rovaniemi and Vaasa Institutes of Technology are now educating engineers instead of technicians. The first surveying engineers in Finland will graduate in 1996. During the period in question thirteen M.Sc. theses, two licentiate degree theses and one doctorate thesis in photogrammetry or remote sensing have been accepted. The dissertation was: Haggrén, Henrik: "On system development of photogrammetric stations for on-line manufacturing control". The licentiate's theses were: Lammi, Jussi: "Production and Use of Digital Imagery in the GIS Environment".
