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.

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.

The aim of this review paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of geographical information system and remote sensing–based water erosion assessment. With multispectral and multi-temporal low cost data at various resolutions, remote sensing plays an important role for mapping the distribution and severity of water erosion and for modeling the risk and/or potential of soil loss. The ability of geographic information system to integrate spatial data of different types and sources makes its role unavoidable in water erosion assessment. The role of satellite data in identification of eroded lands and in providing inputs for erosion modeling has been discussed. The role of GIS in mapping eroded lands based on experts’ opinion, in generating spatial data inputs from sources other than remote sensing and in integrating the inputs to model the potential soil loss has been discussed.

Critical land is a damaged land, thus losing or decreasing its function to the specified or expected limits. The identification and critical lands mapping is essential for the planning and determination of priority watersheds in order to the utilization and development of natural resources and land rehabilitation and soil conservation. Remote sensing is a technique that enable people to collect data without direct field measurement. The using of Landsat 8 image then analyzed by using Geographic Information System (GIS) is being expected to improve the ability to classify land cover, the map was then overlad with parameter map based on Regulation of Director General of Management of Watershed and Social Forestry Number P. 4 / V-Set / 2013 about technical guidance on the preparation of spatial data of other critical lands to identify critical lands in Kayong Utara Regency.Keywords: Degraded land, Geographic Information System (GIS), Remote sensing, overlay

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

The satellite technology has developed significantly. The sensors of remote sensing satellites are in the form of optical, Microwave, and LIDAR. These sensors can be used for energy and mineral resources applications. The example of those applications are height model and the potential of geothermal manifestation detection. This study aims to detect the potential of geothermal manifestation using remote sensing. The study area is the Northern of the Inverse Arc of Sulawesi. The method used is remote sensing approach for its preliminary detection with 4 steps as follow (a) mining land identification, (b) geological parameter extraction, (c) preparation of standardized spatial data, and (d) geothermal manifestation. Mining lands identification is using Vegetation Index Differencing method. Geological parameters include structural geology, height model, and gravity model. The integration method is used for height model. The height model integration use ALOS PALSAR data, Icesat/GLAS, SRTM, and X SAR. Structural geology use dip and strike method. Gravity model use physical geodesy approach. Preparation of standardized spatial data with re-classed and analyzed using Geographic Information System between each geological parameter, whereas physical geodesy methods are used for geothermal manifestation detection. Geothermal manifestation using physical geodesy approach in Barthelmes method. Grace and GOCE data are used for gravity model. The geothermal manifestation detected from any parameter is analyzed by using geographic information system method. The result of this study is 10 area of geothermal manifestation potential. The accuracy test of this research is 87.5 % in 1.96 σ. This research can be done efficiently and cost-effectively in the process. The results can be used for various geological and mining applications.
