    In the mid-1990s, we established the national operative dynamic information systems on natural resources and environment. In the process of establishment of the land-use database, 520 scenes of remotely sensed images of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) were interpreted at scale of 1∶100 000 under overall digital software environment after being geo-referenced and ortho-rectified. The vector map of land-use in China at the scale of 1∶100 000 was recently converted into a 1-km raster database that captures all of the high-resolution land-use information by calculating area percentage for each kind of land use category within every cell. Being designed as the operative dynamic information serving systems, monitoring the change in land-use/land-cover at national level was executed. We have completed the updating of LUCC database by comparing the TM data in the mid-1990s with new data sources received during 1999~2000 and 1989~1990. The LUCC database has supported greatly the national LUCC research program in China and some relative studies are incompletely reviewed in this paper.

    The conservation planning results of this project led to the establishment of the guidelines for zonal planning of the Central Mountain Greenway based on IUCN guideline of conservation planning. These guidelines could be used as the basis of the Central Mountain Conservation project and the references of developing process of Digital Taiwan Model. Digital Taiwan is an article, multi-directional and metadata technology convoluted from traditional spatial information and political management to overcome time-consuming planning, management and decision support. As a result, this study tries to establish the Digital Taiwan Model by using GIS and RS as the Land Planning tool to correlate the existing digital data of land resources, and apply the concepts of "Environment resources sustainable development", "Environmental costs", and "Bio-diversity conservation". This study will serve as pilot reference for executing the land planning and land planning decision-making support system.

    Based on the framework of Grid-Computation and Spatial Information Grid(SIG), this paper proposes a new kind of Middleware-Based Grid-GIS, which can utilize all the spatial data, analyztical software and computation environment as its sharing resources, and approach the infrastructure, the organizational system and the implementation pattern of its. In addition, some key frontier techniques including how to implement Federated Spatial Database, to realize spatial computation environment and virtual geo-environment based on the middlewares are also discussed.

    The state-of-art GIS platforms and application development is firstly analyzed in this paper and the necessity of developing independent copyright large-scale GIS platforms to support China's national spatial infrastructures is confirmed. Secondly the general aims and technological aims are put forward. Then the system structures and characteristics of large-scale distributed GIS are discussed in detail from the hierarchies of general framework, spatial database management system, spatial application service platforms and visual GIS tools and application interfaces.

    There are some difficulties in sharing of resource and environmental information because of their multi-scope, multi-species, multi-significance and large data. Metadata is an important and efficient means for solving the problem. This paper has analyzed the current managing models of metadata of resources and environment. Subsequently, it discusses constructing a network-based, open and extendable metadata database management system and carrying out a management model of trinity of data users, metadata and datasets. Finally, a metadata management software MMT-1 has been completed by some advanced developing means and successfully applied.

    The Dunhuang test site is situated in the northwest corner of the Gobi desert near the city of Dunhuang. The calibration area is (400×400)m 2 and situated in the centre of a relative homogeneous and flat zone of (30×40)km 2. During August to September, 2000, China Center for Resources Satellite Data and Application (CRESDA) conducted a field measurement campaign for determining the characteristics of the ground reflectance and of the atmosphere. The results show that the test site has a very good homogeneity with a variation coefficient of the reflectance in any channel lower than 3%. The ground reflectance increases progressively from 0.18 at 485 nm to 0.26 at 830 nm. Atmospheric measurements show that at 0.55 μm the total atmospheric optical depth (about 0.34) and the aerosol optical depth (about 0.26) are relatively low and the effect of atmospheric water vapour content is also relatively small. These preliminary results show that the selected test site is well adapted to the absolute radiometric calibiration of in-flight satellite sensors such as CBERS-1 CCD.

    Maps as being the most fundamental and essential data sources of database as well as GIS and RS, data precision of map digitization has become a matter of common interest to all related disciplines. In this paper, we define the theoretical foundation of digitization, discuss in detail two commonly used data acquiring models, introduce the composition of our digital system for world map, finally we focus our discussion on the principles and methods of probing the mysteries of map. Generally, this paper aims at creating the theoretical foundation of map digitization and improving data precision of map digitization.

    This paper expounds the concept and research significance about the quantitative map,and,proceeding from the graphic symbols,analyses the visualizing variable of symbols and puts forward that improving the expression of graphic symbols should be started with map designing in two ways: the expressiveness and the attractiveness of improving the expression of data content by symbols. The expressiveness of symbols includes three aspects: readability, sequency and information capacity. As for the attractiveness, symbols should be designed in aesthics, three-dimension, dynamics, figurativeness and perspective from the point of view of vision to enhance the visualization of the map. The graphic symbols of the degant quantitative map should posscess the higher expression and the perfect unity of the expressiveness of content and the attractiveness of symbol figure.

    With the development of Internet technologies, Internet based information system arises with more advantages: Firstly, it is convenient for users to use owing to the introduction of Internet technologies. Secondly, it benefits greatly the data dissemination and data sharing based on Internet. The most important but not the last is that users can establish the information service network supported by its technologies and the facilities of information highway. So, it would be significant to design Internet based information system to realize data collection, sharing and dissemination on Internet. There are many factors affecting regional environment. So it is not easy to realize the integrated environmental monitoring. Given this, we designed the Internet based environmental monitoring information system. By the virtue of the Internet based environmental monitoring information system, the management and storage of environmental monitoring data would be easier, which lays the foundation for the actualization of the environmental monitoring efficiently.
