The Applied Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing working group focuses on the use of new technologies in urban and environmental planning and nature conservation. In addition to working on practice-oriented research projects in cooperation with scientific research institutions and practical partners from Administration and Economics, it organizes training courses and specialist conferences.
Key areas of work include the investigation of GIS-based methods in environmental and urban planning, the implementation of landscape change analyses at different scales and standardization.
Since the WG was founded in 2016, various R&D projects and service contracts have been completed. The working group is also active in standardization initiatives (e.g. XPlanung, buildingSmart).
