  1. Remote Sensing and GeographicInformation Systems in DevelopingCountries: Case of the United ArabEmirates (UAE) Dr. Ahmad BinTouq E-mail: abintouq@uaeu.ac.ae URL: http://faculty.uaeu.ac.ae/~abintouq GEO 440: GIS for Urban & Regional Planning FEB. 20 2011

  2. Overview • Last week we discusses GEOG 440 class syllabus. • What’s (GIS for Urban Planning) refers to? • Today, Why’s there GIS growth in the UAE?

  3. Research paper outline

  4. GIS in the UAE • The paper suggests that growth in GIS applications in the UAE is due to: Cheap hardware and easy to use soft wares Impediments to the use of GIS in the UAE: 1-The cost of hardware. 2- The complexity of software. 3. There is high demand for GIS staff in the UAE 4. Thus, the case of the GIS education in the UAE

  5. The most important reasons for the spread of GIS and remote sensing: 1-Need to know about the spatial data to support decision-making process. 2-Using English for GIS. 3-Expanded the capabilities of the Internet. 4-Increaseed knowledge.

  6. Few cases on GIS implementation in the UAE Etisalate, ADWEA and Dubai municipality

  7. Identifications of problems and solutions for GIS implementation within the UAE?

  8. Exercise • Discuss the growth of GIS in the UAE? • Assess the need of GIS education in the UAE? • Evaluate Problems and solutions of GIS implementation in the UAE

  9. Next week FEB 27. 2011 • Quiz 1 • Reading 2, at the class website and email • Pick up your textbook Thank You
