AN INVITATION

The Computer Aided Design (CAD) Centre of Jadavpur University, Kolkata and the Kolkata
Chapter of the Centre for Environment and Economic Development (CEED), a Research
Institution affiliated to NITI Aayog, Govt. of India, jointly is going to organize a National
Level Conference on ‘Application Of Geospatial Technology In Research And
Development’ on 27th - 28th December, 2018 at Jadavpur University Campus. Members of all
teaching fraternity, researchers and academia from different disciplines are cordially invited
to present their research papers in the conference.

FOCAL THEME
Geoinformatics is the science and the technology which develops and uses information
sciences infrastructure to address the issues of geography, cartography, geosciences and
related branches of science and engineering. It has been described as "the science and
technology dealing with the structure and character of spatial information, its capture, its
classification and qualification, its storage, processing, portrayal and dissemination, including
the infrastructure necessary to secure optimal use of this information" or "the art, science or
technology dealing with the acquisition, storage, processing production, presentation and
dissemination of Geo-information".
Geoinformatics combines geospatial analysis and modelling, development of
geospatial databases, information systems design, human-computer interaction and both
wired and wireless networking technologies. Geo-informatics uses geo-computation and geo-
visualization for analysing geoinformation.
Many fields are benefited from geoinformatics, including urban planning and land use
management, in-car navigation systems, virtual globes, public health, local and national
gazetteer management, environmental modelling and analysis, military, transport network
planning and management, agriculture, meteorology and climate change, oceanography and
coupled ocean and atmosphere modelling, business location planning, architecture and
archaeological reconstruction, telecommunications, criminology and crime simulation,
aviation, biodiversity conservation and maritime transport. The importance of the spatial
dimension in assessing, monitoring and modelling various issues and problems related to
sustainable management of natural resources is recognized all over the world.
Geoinformatics becomes very important technology to decision-makers across a wide
range of disciplines, industries, commercial sector, environmental agencies, local and
national government, research, and academia, national survey and mapping organisations,
International organisations, United Nations, emergency services, public health and
epidemiology, crime mapping, transportation and infrastructure, information technology
industries, GIS consulting firms, environmental management agencies, tourist industry, utility
companies, market analysis and e-commerce, mineral exploration, etc. Many government and
non-government agencies started to use spatial data for managing their day-to-day activities.
SUB-THEMES
The related sub themes are:
i. Morphological Analysis.
ii. Climate Change and Predictions.
iii. Hazard and Disaster Management.
iv. Global Environmental issues.
v. Spatial Analysis of Economic Activities.
vi. Landuse, Planning and Management.
vii. Population Dynamics and Socio-Cultural Issues.
viii. Advancement in Geo-Spatial Techniques.

ABOUT CEED
Centre for Environment and Economic Development (CEED) is a Research and Knowledge
Centre, affiliated to NITI Aayog, Govt. of India, working for the Greater South Asian Region
and its secretariat is based in Delhi, India, has just opened its Kolkata Chapter. CEED starts
with broad objectives & vision to promote Research, Advocacy, Education and sharing
knowledge through publication, outreach programme and partnership for sustainable and
cognitive development of the Region. CEED works through partnership and sharing
knowledge with multi-level crosscutting issues of Environmental Protection, Socio-Economic
Development, and Humanitarian dimension. It focuses more on Research and its uniqueness
lies in its comprehensive Policy level research intervention and cooperation, for the long term
idea of sustainable development of the South Asian region.
The research based organization works in a wide spectrum related to the arena of
NRM/ Water Resource Management, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) & Management,
WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene), Climate Change, Urban Environmental Management
and prevailing issues of Humanitarian dimensions, Livelihood development, Capacity
Development, Human Rights Advocacy, Community Development and Governance in the
region.
The objectives of CEED are to develop applied policy research for developing a
network of partnership to make vulnerable communities resilient to prevailing situation and
show the way to development. CEED adopts a community based approach, indigenous
technology to empower communities through awareness, training and education. CEED from
the beginning places more emphasis and focus on women and child issues and remains
dedicated to their integrated sustainable development.
ABOUT CAD CENTRE
The Computer Aided Design (CAD) Centre is one of the pioneering institutions of Eastern
India for training, research, and consultancy services in the emerging areas that it embraces.
The Centre functions under the Faculty Council of Engineering & Technology, Jadavpur
University, Kolkata. In the year 2010, it has reached to its 25 years of academic and research
excellence.

Feeling the dearth of educational and research facilities, and implementation of new
generation technologies the Centre has come up as a state-of-the-art institution for education
and research in order to cater to the requirement of emerging technologies like CAD,
Multimedia and Animation, Geographic Information Science, and Remote Sensing. Since its
inception in 1985 the Centre has generated an immense amount of goodwill in its areas of
expertise. The Centre has trained a large number of researchers, academicians, professionals,
and students in the preceding technological fields, who have been successful in implementing
their training to their work areas.
