| Abstract |
One of the foremost basic types of information utilized in field work is space information with few specific targets. There are various types of information which that fall within space information; such as information concerning soil topography, land use for fisheries, social infrastructure, climate and manufacturing infrastructure. All of this information must be appropriately gathered, in accordance with the objectives of a study or research. Remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) are among the many useful means for gathering and analyzing such information. Using aerial photography and satellite image obtained through remote sensing, it is possible to gather information covering wide geographic areas; such as information about natural resources or information about the environment. For example, natural resources can play a vital role for culture and breeding ground for many freshwater and marine water fishes. In addition,if these methods are used in conjunction with field work or by rearranging existing data, more detailed space information can be collected. Positioning data is attached to this collected information and it can then be analyzed using a geographic information system (GIS). A GIS is both a database of space information and a tool for its analysis. For example, analysis of existing shoal for a particular fish can lead to information used to predict natural disasters. |
