Dear All,
One week has passed since the successful conclusion of GIS-IDEAS 2014. On behalf of the organizers, I will like to thank one and all for support and active participation in GIS-IDEAS 2014. The conference was attended by more then 300 participants for 6 different countries and by all means a grand success.
Full paper proceedings will be published sometimes in Feb/March 2014 and we will send notifications to authors who had made oral or poster presentations at GIS-IDEAS 2014 to make a final check of their full paper presentations before they can be sent to the publishers.
Outstanding Acheivement Awards were persented to Dr. Nghiem Vu Khai and Prof. Takashi Fujita, Founders of JVGC for their outstanding contribution in promoting Geoinformatics and fostering research collaborations between Vietnam and Japan.
Four awards were presented for best oral and poster presentations as below.
1) L.T. Phuong and others "Regional Yield Estimation for Rice Crop Using Time-series MODIS and ENVISAT ASAR Data: A case study in Mekong Delta, Vietnam"
2) Sasirin Srisomkiew "SOIL DEGRADATION ASSESMENT USING FAO GUIDELINE AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM IN KASET WISAI DISTRICT OF ROI ET PROVINCE IN THAILAND"
3) Susumu NONOGAKI and others "Development of Browsing System for Two- and Three-Dimensional Geological Data"
4) Le Ngoc Hanh and others"LANDSLIDE HAZARD AND RISK ZONING IN HOA VANG DISTRICT, DANANG CITY"
Attendees who need certificate of attendance for Workshop and Conference please contact gisideas.secretary@gmail.com and request for the same.
2016 will be 50 years since the establishment of Hanoi University of Mining and Geology (HUMG). HUMG has been one of the founding members of Japan-Vietnam Geoinformatics Consortium and the GIS-IDEAS International Conference. Coinciding with 50 year of HUMG, we plan to Organize GIS-IDEAS 2016 in Hanoi. Look forward to your active participation in this future event.
The GIS-IDEAS Conference mailing list [1] will remain active and if you have any feedback to help to improve the future conference or have suggestion for some new activity, please feel free to write on the ML.
I take this opportunity to thank the Local Organizers and Volunteers without whose help, GIS-IDEAS 2014 would not be possible.
Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Venka
