Utilization of Remote Sensing Technologies in Application and Inspection of the Afforestation Grant Program

Abstract

The Forestry Agency plans to revise afforestation grant program rules to allow to use various remote sensing data in application and inspection of the grant procedure. Under the new rules, grant applicants can submit, for example, UAV orthophotos and GIS data instead of printed pictures or paper maps. Inspection is conducted with the submitted data. Efficient grant operation and GIS application in forest management and forestry are expected.
