3. The necessity for an international scientific, technical, technological, political and law
cooperation in planning, design and carrying out the extremely expensive global Space
Remote Sensing programs and projects, in order to become possible the most optimal, effec
tive and economical integration of platform, resolution (spatial, spectral e.t.c.), temporal, repeti
tiveness, sensor, type (mono-stereo), interests, applications e.t.c. factors, and consequently
the most useful for Mankind, Societal, Development and Environmental applications.
3. Effects on Photointerpretation and Remote Sensing Education and Research structure and
functions
According to the above the effects of the fundamental characteristics of Photoin
terpretation and Remote Sensing Science, Techniques and Methodology on the structure and
functions of P. and R.S. Education and Research, inevitably result in some absolutely similar
characteristics respectively.
Therefore we have:
- MULTI ORIGIN/DISCIPLINE/ORIENTATICDN/STRUCTURE UNIVERSITY P. and R.S.
COURSES
• - MULTI AND INTER-DEPARTMENTAL P. and R.S. COURSES.
- MULTI AND INTER-DISCIPLINARY P. and R.S. LABORATORIES AND RESEARCH.
- NATIONAL, MULTI AND INTER-NATIONAL P. and R.S. EDUCATION, RESEARCH
AND TRAINING PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES (NATIONAL AND MULTINATIONAL
REMOTE SENSING CENTRES, UNIVERSITY AND INDUSTRY COLLABORATIONS,
INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES).
- MULTI LEVEL P. and R.S. EDUCATION AND TRAINING (UNIVERSITY POST
DOCTORAL, GRADUATE, UNDERGRADUATE AND TECHNICIAN).
- MULTI TYPE P. and R.S. EDUCATION AND TRAINING, (CONTINUOUS and LIFE
LONG EDUCATION, SPECIALIZED, INTERDISCIPLINARY AND INTEGRATED SHORT
COURSES, SUMMER COURSES WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS, PROBLEM
SOLVING ORIENTED PROGRAMS, INFORMATIVE PROGRAMS FOR MANAGERS,
OFFICIALS AND DECISION MAKERS, SPECIFIC, INTERDISCIPLINARY AND
INTEGRATED MULTI-LEVEL PROGRAMS OF SPECIALIZED ORGANIZATIONS LIKE
I.T.C., GDTA, J.R.C. Ispra, T.A.C., D.L.R. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
GOVERNMENTAL, INTERGOVERNMENTAL AND SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS AND
AGENCIES, INDUSTRY AND CONSULTING COMPANIES e.t.c.).
On the basis of an extended author’s investigation on University Photointerpretation
and Remote Sensing Education and Research w t e could more closely consider at this paper
and analyse the folowing three major categories of University P. and R.S. Courses:
(a) Specific P. and R.S. Infrastructure Courses
(b) Spcciffb P. and R.S. Application Courses
(c) interdisciplinary and/or integrated P. and R,S. Courses
