SPACE MAPPING COMMERCIALISATION: AN ANALYSIS OF THE MANAGEMENT OF REMOTE SENSING IN AUSTRALIA.

摘要

This paper examines the challenges associated with the management of remote sensing technology in Australia. Models are presented that provide valuable guide-lines for the commercialisation of remote sensing technology. The study utilises a systems approach to provide a framework of analysis that is sensitive to both technological requirements and human factors. It describes a new range of problem solving skills that are appropriate where the situation is complex and poorly defined. The paper argues that systems modelling is a valuable method for developing strategies for the proper management of remote sensing.
