Information systems are an integral part of environmental management infrastructures – complex assemblages social and technical artifacts, human actors sociomaterial routines enacted in the pursuit sustainability outcomes. We analyse case infrastructure developed around a ‘vessel system’ by South Australian regulator between 2004 2013. The goal this was to sustain water quality controlling disc...

Spatial Data Processing and Infrastructures are the core of future remote sensing and photogrammetry for the Earth Observation industry. For this to become an operational and production reality, quantum leap breakthroughs are to be achieved, concerning in particular image processing, error correlations, alert definitions, best usage practices, data encryption and code validation. Because proble...

Land administration systems, and particularly their central cadastral components, are an important infrastructure which facilitates the implementation of land use policies. While most land administration systems traditionally have a primary objective of supporting the operation of land markets, they are increasingly evolving into a broader land information infrastructure which supports economic...

Efficient environment monitoring has become a major concern for society to guarantee sustainable development. For instance, forest fire detection and analysis is important to provide early warning systems and identify impact. In this environmental context, availability of up-to-date information is very important for reducing damages caused. Environmental applications are deployed on top of Geos...

Infrastructures, such as roads, mines, and hydroelectric dams, are proliferating explosively. Often, this has serious direct and indirect environmental impacts. We highlight nine issues that should be considered by project proponents to better evaluate and limit the environmental risks of such developments.

Land administration systems, and particularly their core cadastral components, are an important infrastructure which facilitates the implementation of land use policies. While most land administration systems traditionally have a primary objective of supporting the operation of land markets, they are increasingly evolving into a broader land information infrastructure which supports economic de...
