‘GEO Philosophy’
LAND and MANKIND, it’s a tale of an extended close companionship,
from therein he was emerged, and will then come back to rest therein.
It’s him who dwells it and it’s him who developed and shaped its
features.
Human, great expectations, which stems from their hopes and their
striving for a decent prosperous life and sustainable development, it’s
really a human urge, which requires us to have real and live view of
land, to detect what changes and transformations are therein, and to
structure and represent its natural features, through utilizing advanced
technical means.
It’s from this point that the concept of establishing Geo-Reference has
been emerged, with view to be the reference, in providing high quality
Geospatial Data, information systems, and to provide reliable advisory
services, suitable solutions which will be of great help for both
private and public sectors, to enhance capability, in dealing with and
managing land and land related rights and laying the foundations for
sustainable and equitable use of land.
