[Gisideas] Visa problems Hanoi
by Markus Neteler 23 Jul '04

23 Jul '04

To participate in the GISIDEAS conference, the Vietnam embassy in Rome requested me to first get a "Visa authorization number" from the conference organizers. However, I'm not successful in contacting the GIS-IDEAS 2004 Secretariat (neither by phone nor email). Any suggestions? It seems to become urgent as I'll leave for Japan in four weeks.

[Gisideas] IN BATTLE AGAINST HUNGER AND RURAL POVERTY, UN USES SATELLITES AND INTERNET
by Vern Weitzel 22 Jul '04

Subject: IN BATTLE AGAINST HUNGER AND RURAL POVERTY, UN USES SATELLITES AND INTERNET Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2004 10:00:53 -0400 From: UN News Service <UNNews(a)UN.Org> Organization: United Nations IN BATTLE AGAINST HUNGER AND RURAL POVERTY, UN USES SATELLITES AND INTERNET New York, Jul 21 2004 10:00AM Using satellite imagery and spatial databases on the frontline of the battle against hunger and rural poverty, United Nations agencies have developed a new Internet-bases system to provide vital agricultural information to decision-makers in developing countries. GeoNetworkâs InterMap viewer, developed jointly by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP), allows users to overlay maps from multiple servers housed at development institutions worldwide to create a customized thematic composite map on their own computer covering such variables as soil quality, vegetation and population density and marketing access. âGeographic information is crucial in identifying problems and suggesting possible solutions,â the Rome-based FAO said in a news release today. âFAO has taken a lead role in the area of spatial information management, not just in the UN system but generally. Other organizations value our experience in this area and seek our expertise in enhancing their own,â added John Monyo, Assistant Director-General of the agencyâs Sustainable Development Department. GeoNetwork is unique in that it is designed specifically to help developing countries improve their ability to manage spatial information, harmonizing and improving access to FAOâs spatial databases in agriculture, forestry, fisheries and food security. It promotes multidisciplinary approaches to sustainable development by allowing FAO, other UN agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and research institutions worldwide to share and distribute geographically referenced data more easily. By overlaying various map layers, InterMap can illustrate the spatial relationship between a series of variables. It can suggest, for example, the extent to which a poor transport infrastructure is keeping a region with a rich agricultural endowment in poverty. Its use of free, open-source software minimizes costs to users â a particular plus for those in developing countries, who can use, modify and redistribute the system source code and do not need to rely on foreign suppliers or costly proprietary software. GeoNetwork has proved its effectiveness in the field. In Mozambique, 12 government and international agencies working on agriculture, food security and humanitarian issues have been using it since September 2003 to share information and avoid duplication. WFP has implemented the system in its regional bureaux in Senegal, South Africa and Uganda. 2004-07-21 00:00:00.000 ________________ For more details go to UN News Centre at http://www.un.org/news

Subject: Conservation GIS Course - Space Still Available in June Date: Thu, 27 May 2004 10:11:18 -0400 From: GISCourse GISCourse <GISCourse(a)crc.si.edu> The Smithsonian Conservation and Research Center is offering the following advanced GIS and remote sensing course: Measuring Landcover Change and its Impact on Endangered Species June 14-18, 2004 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: This one-week advanced GIS and remote sensing course provides conservationists with an opportunity to learn how GIS and remote sensing can be used to assess the conservation status of endangered species. Participants will be provided with their own desktop computer for all lab exercises. During the hands-on exercises participants will use the Internet, ArcView, ArcView Spatial Analyst, ERDAS Imagine, Fragstats, and other spatial analysis programs. Instructors will lead participants step-by-step through the process of: * conducting a regional conservation assessment using GIS to determine critical conservation areas for an endangered species * acquiring multi-date satellite imagery to quantify land cover change and to map the extent of the remaining habitat * using landscape analysis to determine optimal landscape configurations for conserving the endangered species.
