Many countries are accelerating their training programs in both remote sensing and GIS and should reach the optimum numbers in the early part of next century, however some countries with lower economic growth and who have commenced from a lower base, due to war or other political reasons, may not reach appropriate levels for many years to come. Unfortunately it is these countries that most need remote sensing in operational applications. 6. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS The diversity of the Asia-Pacific region creates resource and environmental problems unmatched elsewhere in the world. However remote sensing has been widely accepted as a tool to map resources and monitor the environment, and considerable advances have been made in operational applications of remote sensing. The larger countries of the region have launched sophisticated remote sensing satellite systems, and others have developed specialised software to support a wide range of applications. While world class education and training facilities exist in the region, many countries are 56 facing a shortage of staff due to the limited numbers being trained. This latter problem will need to be overcome if all countries of the region are to reap the benefits of remote sensing. 7. REFERENCES Brandenberger, A.J., 1991.
