With its international scientific commitments, Revue Internationale de Géomatique (RIG), gathers numerous research works from many countries and disciplines, such as geography, computer science, archeology, agronomy and social sciences. All these research projects require or develop approaches, methods or tools to solve, analyse or represent spatial problems on the geographical space. The journal involves different topics, from spatial object modelling to geospatial prospective, from sensors used in accurate imagery to territorial decision making. The articles can be application- oriented, or deal with theoretical or methodological issues. Thus, RIG allows a fruitful combination of technological features (e.g. Geographical Information Systems, high resolution remote sensing) and human purpose and behaviour in spatial analysis (e.g. participatory Geographical Information Systems, territorial planning). Geomatics also concerns many questions about our environment in the context of global change and sustainability, such as biodiversity, conservation, transport, mobility and land use. Most of the articles published in RIG are resulting from a strong co-operation between different institutes and disciplines, often coupling particular themes (micro-agronomy, coastal studies, mountainous development, for instance) and associated methodologies to design appropriate solutions from computer and geographical information sciences (generalize and matching geometries, spatial metadata management, spatial ontologies, etc.). Regularly published since 1991, Revue Internationale de Géomatique (RIG) publishes original articles in Sciences of Geographical Information, in French or in English.

Abstract As the global population continues to expand, the demand for natural resources increases. Unfortunately, human activities account for 23% of greenhouse gas emissions. On a positive note, remote sensing technologies have emerged as a valuable tool in managing our environment. These technologies allow us to monitor land use, plan urban areas, and drive advancements in areas such as agriculture, climate change mitigation, disaster recovery, and environmental monitoring. Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), computer vision, and earth observation data have enabled unprecedented accuracy in land use mapping. By using transfer learning and fine-tuning with red-green-blue (RGB) bands, we achieved an… More >

Abstract The mutation of spaces observed in the Katangese Copper Belt (KCB) causes significant topographical changes. Some colonial geodetic markers are easily noticeable on many of the hills making up the KCB. These hills are subject to mining which ruins the completeness of the network of triangulations: geometric and trigonometric Katangese. In order to keep control of the latter, the study shows on the one hand the possibility of using SRTM data (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) in the monitoring of the macro-change of the reliefs, from 442 positions, and on the other hand, an indirect (remote) inventory method of the existing… More >

Abstract Severe earthquakes in the world and in Turkey can cause great loss of life and property, environmental problems and health problems. In addition to the loss of life and property, earthquakes are closely related to ecosystems, air, water, and soil pollution. Particularly in post-earthquake debris removal, very large amounts of particulate matter are released and may have negative effects on the health of the local population. This study aimed to detect two types of particle matter pollution during debris removal in 25 different locations in Adiyaman City using a CEM DT 9880 particle matter measuring device in May and August… More >

Abstract Land use dynamics is a prerequisite for identifying natural resource management constraints, the evolution of
agrarian practices and population growth. The objective of this research is to improve knowledge of the dynamics
of agricultural land use in the dryland (Cinzana) and cotton (Kléla) areas of Mali. The methodology used
consisted of planimetric data collection and diachronic analysis using Landsat TM (Thematic Mapper) satellite
images from 2000 and OLI (Operational Land Image) from 2020. Degradation and deforestation rates of natural
formations were calculated on the one hand, and on the other hand, the speed and intensity of changes were
evaluated using… More >

Abstract La théorie égocentrée est aujourd’hui bien connue des éthologues et des psychologues mais moins diffusée chez les géographes car elle reste encore à l’état de théorie abstraite. Ce papier se propose dans un premier temps de rendre opérationnel cette approche dans le cadre de travaux géographiques à l’échelle de l’individu. Puis, elle envisage d’établir le lien entre l’échelle individu et l’échelle de la ville avec comme objectif de produire des cartes déformées de la ville. More >

Abstract Color, as a significant element of village landscapes, serves various functions such as enhancing aesthetic appeal and attractiveness, conveying emotions and cultural values. To explore the three-dimensional spatial characteristics of color landscapes in beautiful villages, this study conducted a comparative experiment involving eight provincial-level beautiful villages and eight ordinary villages in Jinzhai County. Landscape pattern indices were used to analyze the color landscape patterns on the facades of these villages, complemented by a quantitative analysis of color attributes using the Munsell color system. The results indicate that (1) Natural landscape colors in beautiful villages are primarily concentrated in the yellow-red… More >
