COMPUTERIZED INFORMATION SYSTEM OF THE ENVIRONMENT FOR VENEZUELA Alicia Moreau 1), Claudio Capone 1), Claire Gosselin 2), Serge Kena-Cohen 2) and Shully I. Solomon 3). ABSTRACT Environmental problems are numerous and complex in Venezuela. The search for rational and effective solutions to these problems requires as a first step the obtaining of as accurate and as comprehensive as possible data on the various components of the natural environment (land, vegetation, water, and air) as well as on the changes occuring in it due to natural causes or to man. Following a series of studies carried out by the Ministry of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources of Venezuela with assistance from the World Meteorological Organization and the Canadian International Development Agency, it became obvious that, under the conditions prevailing in Venezuela, it is not practically feasible to use conventional methods for obtaining the required environmental data. A useful environmental information system requires the application of advanced computer techniques enabling the combination of data on the various interacting components of the environment to improve the accuracy and areal extent of the information available for each of the components, as well as the combination of remotely sensed data obtained from various types of satellites with the limited data obtained by conventional techniques. The efficient management of the various sources of data and the application of models enabling the combination of data from various fields and sources for the above mentioned purposes requires the development and implementation of a geographic, meteorological, hydrological and socio-economical information system. A first phase of a study for developing such an information system has been recently completed and a second phase has been initiated. The paper describes some of the results of the first phase and discusses the objectives of the second one. 1) Ministerio del Ambiente y Recursos Naturales Renovables, Caracas Venezuela. 2) Photosur Géomat Inc., 1100 Blvd. Rene Levesque W., Montreal, Quebec, Cañada. 3) University of Waterloo, Waterloo.
