Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) techniques have been used increasingly for marine sheries development and management over the last years. However, its applications continue to be scarce in Colombia. This paper brie!y reviews use of spatial tools in marine sheries management, both retrospectively and predictively. Case studies of RS and GIS in sheries research in Colombia and challenges for future use for management measures are discussed. In order to harness the potential of GIS and RS tools in marine sheries research and management, priority should be given for training sheries scientists in RS and GIS, increasing collaboration among institutions, departments, standardize data collection, and development of a common platform for data sharing.

Aiming to lessen degradations and effects on marine ecosystems, Marine Spatial Planning is used as a management method with a purpose to help lead the development and used in the marine environment. The stages of the planning are collection, management, and analysis of spatial data, and also decision support systems. This method requires tools to be able to achieve the goals effectively. Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing can efficiently and effectively be used to access and summarize spatial data into information forms to evaluate the Marine Spatial Planning projects. GIS and remote sensing obviously have an essential function in terms of its opportunities and its capabilities for development and projections in the future. This review is intended to produce critical description on the study of GIS development for Marine Spatial Planning. Furthermore, this review is intended to foresee the challenges faced in its implementation in Indonesia.

Introduction: The Central Department of Geography (CDG) at Kirtipur is one of the leading Departments of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Tribhuvan University. The Department was established in 1958. Since then, it has been actively serving the country in higher education and research. CDG runs regular Master’s and PhD programmes in Geography. It is a pioneer Department in running courses - Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) in the country. Being a central department, it has to look after the academic programmes and activities of 22 Departments of Geography under the Tribhuvan University’s constituent campuses spreading across different parts of the country, where there are proficiency certificate and bachelor level studies. Of these, the Department of Geography at Prithvi Narayan Campus, Pokhara also runs regular Master’s degree, in addition to proficiency certificate and bachelor levels. This paper portrays the academic activities concerning with strengthening of geography subject being held at CDG from October 2008 onward.The Geographical Journal of Nepal, Vol. 7, 2009: 61-66

Flash floods are among the most dangerous natural disasters. As climate change and urbanization advance, an increasing number of people are at risk of flash floods. The application of remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) technologies in the study of flash floods has increased significantly over the last 20 years. In this paper, more than 200 articles published in the last 20 years are summarized and analyzed. First, a visualization analysis of the literature is performed, including a keyword co-occurrence analysis, time zone chart analysis, keyword burst analysis, and literature co-citation analysis. Then, the application of remote sensing and GIS technologies to flash flood disasters is analyzed in terms of aspects such as flash flood forecasting, flash flood disaster impact assessments, flash flood susceptibility analyses, flash flood risk assessments, and the identification of flash flood disaster risk areas. Finally, the current research status is summarized, and the orientation of future research is also discussed.
