What is recommended here for reports of National
Member Societies should be taken over analogously for
the reports of Regional Members and freely adapted by
Sustaining Members.

6. PROPOSED CONTENT OF SECTION 2
ON THE ,STATE OF PROFESSION”
This Section of the Member Report is designed to
present the state of photogrammetry, remote sensing
and GIS/LIS in the four main fields: production,
administration, education and training, research and
development.
Those main fields can be presented using the following
information areas: Institutions and employment,
equipment and software, applications, images (initial
Ph&RS data), research projects, education and training,
manpower.
Subsection 2.1 provides information about institutions
and employment in the three main groups of
organisations:
- Governmental production/administration units,
- School, universities, R&D institutes,
- Private production units.
At the Level A global data about the number of organi-
sations providing employment in photogrammetry, re-
mote sensing and/or GIS/LIS, with estimates of staff
number equivalent to full time employment per year in
68
each of those 3 thematic profession parts, should be
given in 4 groups: over 25 employees, 6-25, 1-6, less
than 1 employees per year (equivalent to full time
employment).
At Level B global data about types of organisations
(government, private, non-profit) involved in photo-
grammetry, remote sensing or GIS could be provided
considering the size of organisation (similar four groups).
At Level C all possible comments and descriptions of
organisations involved would be appreciated as well as
their staff and facilities power, main achievements and
objectives for the future.
Subsection 2.2 is designed to provide information about
equipment and software availability in three groups:
Manufacture and supply, contract services, services
internally available. The following groups of facilities
would be considered: Aircraft, air survey cameras, aerial
GPS real time equipment, aircraft scanners, satellite
scanners, close-range digital cameras, terrestrial
cameras, ground control data, photographic processing,
scanners of photographs, stereoplotters, comparators,
analytical plotters, digital plotters, orthoprojectors, digital
ortho-photo capabilities, digital mapping, GIS/LIS, half-
tone hard-copy plotters, vectorial map hard-copy plotters,
etc.
At Level A the above data could be provided in most
general groups of most important equipment.
At Level B the equipment could be counted in detail (as
above stated); these data could be given also in groups
of equipment owners: Government, private, non profit
institutions.
Level C would provide description and technical data of
more unique facilities and computer programs, or
reasons for certain decisions.
Subsection 2.3 provides information about the
applications of photogrammetry, remote sensing and
GIS/ LIS in two groups.
Subsection 2.3.a describes country-wide projects.
Topographic mapping, hydrographic mapping, orthophoto
production, ground cadastre, forest mapping, DEM,
ground cover survey and other projects to be executed
countrywide.
At Level À the above types are enumerated, and grossly
described, e.g. for Topographic Mapping 1:50 000:
Period of first production, total number of map sheets
and their format in cm.
Revision cycle: from ___to ___ years.
Map sheets made or revised during last five years — 96.
Maps older than 5 years — 96.
At Level B more detailed information on the topographical
maps shall be given: All scales and their production and
revision status.
Level C describes the production methods used for each
type of map, e.g.:
,1:30 000 wide-angle photography is used with inflight
GPS measurements. Aerotriangulation with stereo
comparator until 1984, thereafter with analytical plotter
