up with remote sensing systems
Bid to raise awareness in importance of GIS

apparatus’ keenness to raise
awareness in the Kuwaiti society
about the importance of GIS and
remote sensing systems and clarify
its multiple uses and its key pillar
in the strategic, urban and environmental planning.
He noted that this can be
achieved through scientific lectures, training courses and workshops, as well as through the provision of technical advice and participation in the preparation of
strategic plans for the rehabilitation of national cadres to enable
the government and private sectors
to take advantage of science and
technology associated with spatial
analysis.

advanced technology to cope with
the latest developments across the
globe so as to build a strong and
coherent society for facing difficulties, she made clear.

respecting others’ opinions, disseminating the culture of tolerance and
discarding violence in the Kuwaiti
society, especially among youth.
