Integrated Spaced-Based Geospatial System: Strengthening ASEAN's Resilience and Connectivity

Abstract

Space and geospatial technology (SGT) is an intelligence technology that enables the global monitoring of a wide range of parameters such as the distribution of facilities and buildings; the movements of cars, ships, aircraft, and people; environmental change; or post-disaster economic development processes. While geospatial technology was originally developed for military and security use, it has been, in recent years, quickly advanced as a general civil technology. It is now widely applied in the field of public services (e.g. disaster response, social infrastructure management, traffic management), business support (e.g. marketing), and personal mobility services (e.g. navigation). The extensive use of low-cost and high-performance mobile devices such as smartphones has further accelerated its popularisation all over the world. Subsequently, the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence technologies have enabled researchers to conduct deeper analyses and quicker and broader information collection. In this regard, geospatial technology is expected to expand its utilisation and development much further.
