Spatial Information Technology for Sustainable Development Goals de Dilip Kumar

Spatial Information Technology for Sustainable Development Goals: Sustainable Development Goals Series

Autor Dilip Kumar, R. B. Singh, Ranjeet Kaur
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 aug 2019

Manualul Spatial Information Technology for Sustainable Development Goals reprezintă o resursă educațională esențială, concepută pentru a construi o bază de cunoștințe științifice solidă în jurul tehnologiilor geospațiale aplicate obiectivelor ONU. Observăm o structură didactică riguroasă, împărțită în două secțiuni complementare: prima parte stabilește cadrul conceptual, în timp ce a doua demonstrează utilitatea practică a acestor instrumente în discipline diverse. Din punct de vedere tehnic, apreciem modul în care Dilip Kumar și colegii săi integrează Sistemele Informaționale Geografice (GIS), teledetecția și Sistemele de Poziționare Globală (GPS). Progresia capitolelor este logică, pornind de la definiții și baze de date (capitolele 1-2), trecând prin tehnologia senzorilor și geo-referențiere, până la vizualizarea hărților și fotografia aeriană. Această abordare extinde cadrul propus de Sustainable Development and Geospatial Technology de Chetan Sharma, oferind o metodologie mai aplicată pentru extragerea datelor necesare planificării urbane și rurale. Spre deosebire de lucrările anterioare ale lui Dilip Kumar, cum ar fi Sustainable Management of Coal Preparation, care se concentrau pe managementul industrial și tehnologii curate de utilizare a cărbunelui, volumul de față adoptă o perspectivă mai largă, de mediu. Credem că includerea celor cinci studii de caz specifice — axate pe managementul inundațiilor, agricultură și evaluarea infrastructurii — oferă cititorului instrumentele necesare pentru a transpune teoria în soluții de sustenabilitate măsurabile. Textul este redactat într-un stil lucid, menit să dezvolte abilități practice de analiză spațială, fiind adaptat atât pentru mediul academic, cât și pentru profesioniștii din planificarea teritorială.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm acest manual studenților și cercetătorilor care doresc să înțeleagă rolul critic al datelor spațiale în atingerea obiectivelor de dezvoltare durabilă. Cititorul câștigă o viziune integrată asupra GIS și GPS, învățând nu doar să colecteze date, ci să le transforme în informații utile pentru gestionarea resurselor naturale și a riscurilor de mediu, precum inundațiile.

Despre autor

Autorii volumului sunt experți recunoscuți în domeniul sustenabilității și tehnologiei informației. Dilip Kumar are o carieră interdisciplinară remarcabilă, publicând lucrări tehnice de referință în domeniul managementului resurselor minerale și al sustenabilității industriale. Rb Singh și Ranjeet Kaur contribuie cu expertiză în analiză spațială și geografie, concentrându-se pe utilizarea tehnologiilor moderne pentru rezolvarea problemelor de mediu globale. Împreună, echipa de autori reușește să sintetizeze concepte complexe de teledetecție și cartografiere într-un format accesibil pentru implementarea agendei globale de dezvoltare durabilă.

Descriere scurtă

This textbook aims to develop a scientific knowledge base on spatial information technology to communicate the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) among students, researchers, professionals and laymen. The book improves understanding of the spatial database and explains how to extract information from this for planning purposes.
 
To enhance the knowledge of geoscientists and environmentalists, the book describes the basic fundamental concepts to advance techniques for spatial data management and analysis and discusses the methodology. The Geographic Information System (GIS), remote sensing and Global Positioning System (GPS) are presented in an integrated manner for the planning of resources and infrastructure. The management of these systems is discussed in a very lucid way to develop the reader's skills.
 
The proper procedure for map making and spatial analysis are included along with case studies to the reader. Where thefirst part of the book discusses the conceptual background, the second part deals with case studies using these applications in different disciplines. The presented case studies include land use, agriculture, flood, watershed characterization and infrastructure assessment for the Sustainable Development Goals.
