Abstract

Geo-informatics is defined as a multi-purpose science dealing with measurement, recording, analysis and presentation of geographical data. Such land information is collected by RS, GIS and GPS. Each one of these three technologies, or each two of them, when combined with the other, create the new 3S technology.
Remote sensing provides images of environment and natural resources in a multi-spectral manner and with different resolutions in different times. GPS and also INS (Inertial Navigation System) reinforce the applied sensors through ground control points and photogrammetry. GIS deals with data and information taken by the help of modern tools from ground spatial data banks and bases which make decision-making possible.
