1992-1996 NATIONAL REPORT OF THE AMERICAN Society FOR PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND REMOTE SENSING Maurice O. Nyquist, Ph.D. (ASPRS National President, 1994/95) National Biological Service Technology Transfer Center Denver, CO 80225-0387 KEY WORDS: United States. National Report. ASPRS. ABSTRACT: The National Report of the U.S. summarizes the structure and membership of ASPRS since the XVII Congress in Washington, D.C., describes the three main service sectors provided by the Society, highlights advances in the core technologies, and briefly comments on the future prospects of the Society and the profession. The primary service sectors of ASPRS are represented by meetings, publications and member services while the three membership sectors are private practice, government civil service and academia. Membership in the Society is approximately 7500 spread more or less equally between the three membership sectors. 1. INTRODUCTION The “mapping sciences”, which collectively includes photo- grammetry, remote sensing, image interpretation, GIS, GPS and other related fields, has matured and continues to expand in the U.S. (U.S.). In government and private sec- tors the use of these technologies is commonplace and is being applied in many innovative ways related to visualiza- tion, modeling, enterprise location, real estate, disaster relief and future-mitigation planning, vehicle navigation, tracking and routing, virtual workplace GIS applications via the Internet, insurance, intensive agriculture and direct mail marketing. The future of the mapping sciences should be even more . promising in the U.S. and elsewhere because of several synergistic trends and likely future occurrences. The recent past continues to show the trends of computer equipment becoming more powerful and less costly, applications soft- ware is also becoming more robust and useable by a larger sector of the population, more geospatial data is becoming available and its cost of development is declining, more people and business sectors are becoming aware of the utility of the technologies or are being trained in their use, and the core technologies of photogrammetry, remote sens- ing, GIS and GPS are becoming more fully integrated. In addition, standards for data exchange, content standards for geospatial metadata and tools for searching those files, expanded Internet access and utility, and federal govern- ment initiatives like the National Spatial Data Infrastruc- ture, all make the availability and access to data easier and more economical. The pending promises of new commer- cial high resolution satellites, additional suites of govern- ment-sponsored satellites for environmental monitoring and 94 International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Vol. XXXI, Part B6. Vienna 1996 modeling and less restricted use of intelligence community data and technology should further stimulate growth of the mapping sciences. A more complete National Report of ASPRS is envisioned for publication in Photogrammetric Engineering and Re- mote Sensing (July, 1996). It will contain more comprehen- sive treatment of the topics addressed in this report. Nev- ertheless, we hope this shortened report will portray the most salient information related to the ASPRS and the mapping sciences that have occurred in the U.S. since the last National Report. 2. SOCIETY STRUCTURE AND MEMBERSHIP The American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) is the U.S. Ordinary Member to the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sens- ing (ISPRS). ASPRS was founded in 1934 and currently has a total of approximately 7500 active, student, and other categories of members worldwide. There are also 152 corporate Regular Sustaining Members and 2 Multiple Sustaining Members with 6 Subsidiaries. Membership in ASPRS has remained fairly stable since the last national report in 1992, with a current retention rate of 80% for active members. Membership demographics categor-ized into general professional sectors indicate the following composition: Private (30%), Academic - includ- ing students (28%), Federal and State Government Service (2496) and Other - including no data (18%). There has been a noticeable shift in the number of members from govern- ment service to private sector caused by various govern-. mental streamlining, downsizing and outsourcing activi- ties.
