GIS educational and training courses in the northwestern region of Romania
Radulescu, Gheorge M.T. ... [et al.]
Founding a graduate and postgraduate course of Geographic Information Systems will contribute to the development of well-trained specialists in this activity domain, so that in the future, GIS technology will be successfully applied in the Northwestern region of Romania. The Northwestern region of Romania, and generally Romania, was behind in what concerns the implementation, use and development of this modern technology, because there were very few specialists in this activity domain. They attended a series of courses abroad, learned by themselves or attended certain courses after which, unfortunately, they did not reached very high standards, such that we can say without being wrong, that the Romanian graduate education does not take into consideration the training of real GIS professionals. One of the conditions of Romaniaas integration in the European Union is represented by the general cadastre, the real-estate utilitarian cadastre and impact analysis upon the environment, at European standards. This can be accomplished only implementing and using Geographic Information Systems, which are currently applied with great success in the EU member countries, both in these activity domains and in those that use topographic maps, plans in their work or need to make decisions within the geographic space.
