Space Technology and Geographic Information Systems Applications in ADB Projects
Asian Development Bank | November 2014
Abstract
Space technology and geographic information systems (GIS) have now become valuable tools in helping
development organizations achieve their missions. They can be applied to various development sectors
including agriculture, rural development, and food security; education; energy; environment; climate
change; health; pubic management and governance (especially disaster risk management); transport; urban
development; and water management.
This report provides an overview of the space technology and GIS applications in ADB to date by introducing
some of the past and ongoing ADB projects that have applied space technology and/or GIS. It includes
information about how the technologies were applied, the service providers, and the cost for the application,
so that practitioners including staff of development organizations and government staff in DMCs can easily
apply similar technologies to their projects and/or daily operations.
