Remote Sensing and GIS Conference, May 5-6, 2008, Kupang, Indonesia 
GIS Applications for Sustainable Development and Good Governance in Eastern Indonesia & Timor Leste
As part of Charles Darwin Universities AUSAID funded Public Service Linkages Program, a GIS and Remote sensing Conference will be held at Nusa Cendana University in Kupang 5-6 May.
The conference will act as a forum to discuss the following: (i) current applications, projects and research in NTT using remote sensing and GIS technology; (ii) the development of formal and informal data and skill sharing networks; (iii) protocols for collecting and archiving data. A provincial wide conference is very important at this time when a range of regional initiatives are being developed to support good governance through data collection, archiving and analysis. The effecting sharing of capacity and aspirations within NTT will assist in the development of a coordinated approach in the development of spatial planning.
The organisers have currently identified the following broad topics: 
Critical land assessment in the Assesa catchment in Ngada 
Fire mapping and monitoring in Sumba 
Deforestation monitoring in Timor 
GIS for land capability assessment – development planning
GIS for analysis of health and education data 
Community GIS and Participatory 3D Modeling (P3DM).
Standards for data collection and storage
Arrangements for data sharing
Accuracy assessment
