sncy since this 
e, we have 
through many 
3 a successful 
tmission VI for 
gton. 
nphasis to the 
a good social 
difficult for us 
present time, 
x the sake of 
page of the 
is symposium 
Dortant during 
? of ideas, the 
jymposium. I 
It is a great honor for me as president of the Hellenic 
Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing to stand up 
here and welcome all of you to this symposium. 
To begin with I would like to emphasize that really is a 
great honor for Greece and especially for the Hellenic 
society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing that we have 
the presidency of Commission UI of ISPRS and due -to this 
fact we had distinguished opportunity to organize the 
symposium in this beautiful island of Greece. 
I would like to thank all the organizers that helped 
financially, to the artist s who offered pieces of their 
art contributing with their means to this symposium, after 
all Photogrammetry it is a combination of science and art, 
is it not? 
Thanks also to all sponsors and congratulations to the 
organizing committee which despite all difficulties came 
to a very satisfactory result. 
It is known that Greece lacks continuing programs for 
providing maps, does not have a cadastral map as well. 
It seems that the demand for cadastral maps has become 
recently more urgent and speaking from a professional 
point of view I think that photogrammetry must be promo 
ted as rapid and economically acceptable method, Especial 
ly now that the development of new techniques through the 
new technology increases the photogrammetric accuracies, 
gives us the possibility to integrate the collected data 
into G.I.S. systems, and brings up photogrammetry as an 
attractive method to use. 
On the other hand Greece as member of the European Com 
munity should take advantage of the joint programs and 
promote Remote Sensing for thematic mapping, as well as 
for small and medium scale mapping facing the fact that 
has to solve urgent problems arising, from the increasing 
^pollution of Environment the rapid growth of cities and 
the destruction of forest from fires, and other problems. 
I hope that the works of this symposium conclude positive 
ly in these aspects. 
I would like to express my pleasant feelings that we have 
toomany important participants from ail over the world and 
I’m very happy to realize that even though the Symposium 
is of the Commission UI many of Greek participants are 
from the ’’production line”. 
Hopping that the works of the Symposium come up with posi 
tive messages for Greek professional and educational 
matters,] wish you pleasant staying in Rodcs.
