Some inevitable consequences of the multidimensional, interdisciplinary and integrated 
nature of Photointerpretation and Remote Sensing Instruments, Methods, Techniques and 
Applications in their space and high technology era (see fig.2.) are: 
1. The development of a close, effective and harmonious cooperation between Scientists, En 
gineers, University Departments and Laboratories, Research Centers, national and multina 
tional Research and Development Agencies, Industry, consulting firms, e.t.c. 
(a) at the basic scientific/technical/technological level, (Basic and Advanced Physics and 
Mathematics, Surveying Methods and Techniques, Computer Science and Mapping, 
Digital Image Processing, Statistical Methods and Techniques, Sensor Technology and 
Space Techniques). 
(b) at the specific and/or interdisciplinary Photointerpretation and Remote Sensing Natural 
Resources and Environment Applications level, (Soil Science, Vegetation Analysis, 
Forestry, Agriculture, Ecology, Civil Engineering, Rural Engineering, Geology, Geomor 
phology, Engineering Geology, Mineral Exploration, Environmental Monitoring, 
Meteorology, Atmospheric and Maritime Sciences e.t.c.) 
(c) at the specific and/or interdisciplinary Photointerpretation and Remote Sensing Human 
Resources and Environment Applications level, (Social Sciences, Human Resources and 
Settlement Analysis, Urban Planning, Physical Planning, Education, Research e.t.c.) 
(d) at the interdisciplinary and integrated Photointerpretaiion and Remote Sensing Applica 
tions level, (Ddsicion Making on the major complicated Environmental, Development and 
Societal Problems at a global, multinational, national, regional and local level). 
2. The need for a continuous, systematic and coordinated Education, Research and Research 
and Development effort for bridging the growing gaps between:
