Shut it down or shape it up? The state of Vietnamese digital media in 2021University of Sydney
The document discusses the state of digital media in Vietnam in 2021. It notes tensions between the Vietnamese government and Facebook as the government seeks to regulate content on platforms. Digital media investment has grown significantly in recent years, but Vietnam ranks low on press freedom indices. Popular social media platforms in Vietnam include Facebook, YouTube, and Zalo, but government restrictions on political commentary are increasing. The document debates whether the government's approach to social media should be to shut platforms down or shape the content allowed on them.

The Impact of ICT on Chinese State Council
The world has been changed dramatically for last 30 years. Things that on body would expect in the past are taking place every day. Some hot topics that people used to focus on have been replaced by some new topics. Among all these topics, ICT namely information communication technologies is attracting more and more people’s attention. As we all know that ICT is impacting nearly all aspects of our life and here I adopt the economic development as the breakthrough point, and in turn other aspects is being expanded. This thesis will mainly discuss on the impact of ICT on Chinese State Council.
The State Council of The people's Republic of China, is the executive body of the highest organ of state power, is the highest organ of state administration. The function of the state council covers many aspects for the society, such as the draft of constitution and laws, the development of economy and also the culture and education and so forth. And ICT has impacted almost every aspect of the origination.
First, the dissemination of information has been changed. ICT is a effective tool of political communication, because it has more advantages than face-to-face communication. The ICT disseminate information to the whole society, helps all the citizens to obtain information about the current political situation, become "known citizens", providing information for the foundation of its political participation. And also this would be impact of public opinion. ICT is not only the performance of public opinion channel, and may utilize extensive and in-depth coverage of specific events, attracts public attention to the event, and thus mobilize the whole society. Thus make as many people as possible to react on the current topic comment.
In the old days, the communication technology in China is not less developed. In some of the rural areas, there are even not a telephone or fax, let alone internet service. The information dissemination is mainly depends on face to face communication or speakers. There are certainly many limitations of these tools. You may not find the person you want to talk to or when you broadcast your information in the radio speaker, some one may just doing something and cannot listen to what you say. Thus they miss the information. That’s why a lot of people just break the laws due to the lack of knowledge of laws and regulations in the country. They may not participate in the politics and execute their own right or do their own duty. But nowadays, with the development of information communication technologies, there are many different channels to ...
Digital exclusion as a hindrance to the emergence of the information society:...Przegląd Politologiczny
There is no doubt, that digital transformation (knowledge-based transformation) has
emerged as the crucial megatrend in modern civilization. Artificial intelligence (AI), machines and
autonomous vehicles, the Internet of Things (IoT), financial technology (Fin/Tech), smart investing
and the analysis and processing of big data are the most recent manifestations of this trend, but not
the only ones. All of these phenomena have led to the emergence and continuing development of the
so-called ‘Information Society’ (IS), which refers to a new type of social organization that is clearly
distinct from the earlier forms of society. In this new society, information and knowledge play an
essential role in facilitating the Knowledge-Based Economy (KBE), where information is collected,
transmitted and processed in a faster and more effective manner, and can subsequently be used to
foster accelerated economic growth. Unfortunately, the problem of digital exclusion still occurs, also
in Poland. The author in the conclusion comes to opinion that people who are digitally excluded find
it much more difficult to overcome psychological rather than technical barriers to having access to
the Internet and learning basic computer skills. This situation calls for urgent improvement. In the
modern information society, a lack of basic knowledge about computers translates into partial or total
digital illiteracy and makes it difficult to perform a range of everyday tasks. It is therefore essential
in Poland to prevent digital exclusion. People who do not use the Internet are socially and professionally limited, or virtually handicapped, which results in quantifiable economic losses. This translates to lower creativity and innovativeness and reduced revenue of state budget, and impedes the
competitiveness of the economy and the development of a post-modern, post-industrial social model.
The main research goal is to show the causes of the phenomenon of digital exclusion in Poland and
ways to counteract it. In the course of the research, the most frequently used method was causal and
effect analysis as well as institutional and legal analysis. Elements of the decision-making, historical,
comparative and statistical methods were also used.
Using Minecraft for Youth Participation in Urban Design and GovernanceFanny von Heland, PhD
This document discusses using the video game Minecraft to engage youth in urban design and governance. It describes UN-Habitat's methodology which involves creating Minecraft models of public spaces based on community input, then having youth workshops to design upgrades in Minecraft and present their ideas. The document provides case studies of this process being tested in Kibera, Kenya and refined in Les Cayes, Haiti and Mexico City to crowdsource youth ideas which are then sometimes implemented in real life. An evaluation of the process in Nepal found it increased youth interest in urban issues.
Impact of Information and Communication Technology on Rural IndiaIOSR Journals
ICTs are playing an important role in rural development in India. By providing infrastructure and access to information services, ICTs can help eradicate poverty in rural areas. They also enable e-governance which promotes transparent, efficient government services. However, the digital divide means many rural Indians still lack access to and skills for using ICTs. For ICTs to truly benefit rural development, interventions must be tailored to local needs and allow bi-directional knowledge sharing between communities and programs. When integrated effectively, ICTs have the potential to boost rural economies and empower communities.
The document discusses the rise of digital technology in Vietnam and its impacts. Key points include:
- Vietnam has seen rapid growth in internet and social media penetration, with 66% of the population now having internet access. Digital media has become the second largest touchpoint after TV.
- E-commerce is growing significantly and estimated to reach $33 billion by 2025. Mobile apps have disrupted transportation, food delivery, payments, and lending.
- While digital brings convenience, issues around privacy, cybersecurity and fake news have risen. The government is working to regulate data protection and promote e-government services and transparency.
- Market research is evolving digitally, with a trend away from paper/phone surveys towards online panels
ICT has had a significant impact on rural development in India. ICT initiatives have focused on infrastructure development and extending information and communication services from urban to rural areas. ICT can play an important role in many aspects of rural development such as poverty reduction by providing access to markets, education, and healthcare. ICT and e-governance in particular have helped strengthen governance in rural India by improving government processes and facilitating interaction between citizens, businesses, and government agencies. While ICT shows promise for rural development, initiatives must be tailored to local needs and involve stakeholders to ensure benefits are realized and sustained over the long term.

The document discusses the impact of digital media transformation in ASEAN countries. It notes that while ASEAN is currently not a top global leader in digital media, it has the potential to become one of the top 5 digital regions by 2025 if effective digital policies are implemented. The transition from analog to digital media has faced challenges like lack of vision, political and economic disparities, and limited private sector funding. However, the growth of digital connectivity, online services and a young population have supported economic and social developments. The document recommends establishing an independent advisory board to help ASEAN establish coordinated digital strategies and policies to better compete globally.
T4G Day 2_Chuanfang Community Learning Centre Program by Zhixin DuMSCitizenshipAPAC
The Chuanfang Community Learning Centre Program aims to reduce the digital divide and strengthen the employability of migrant workers in China. The program establishes a learning center equipped with computers and training networks in Chuanfang Community, the largest urban village in Kunming, Yunnan Province. It provides computer skills training and knowledge on law, health, finance and more to young migrant workers. The program expects to train 1,800 migrant workers over 2 years and benefit 6,800 people in total.

Lezione tenuta il 15 giugno 2012 al Master di II livello in "Management dei sistemi informativi per l'area del Mediterraneo - SI4MED", MEDAlics (Pizzo Calabro)
This document summarizes a report on gender equality and empowerment of women through information and communication technologies (ICT). It discusses how ICT can promote development but the benefits have been uneven, with a "digital divide" between men and women in access to technology. While ICT could potentially exacerbate inequalities, addressing the gender gap in access and skills can empower women. The document reviews UN efforts since 1995 to promote women's participation in ICT and identifies strategies to close the gender divide.
Gender equality and empowerment of women through ICT Dr Lendy Spires
Gender equality and empowerment of women through ICT “The so-called digital divide is actually several gaps in one. There is a technological divide great gaps in infrastructure. There is a content divide. A lot of web-based information is simply not relevant to the real needs of people. And nearly 70 per cent of the world’s websites are in English, at times crowding out local voices and views.
There is a gender divide, with women and girls enjoying less access to information technology Introduction ICT and development The role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as a tool for development has attracted the sustained attention of the United Nations over recent years. Strategic partnerships have been developed with donors, the private sector and civil society, and working groups and task forces have been established to enhance inter-agency collaboration throughout the United Nations system. In 2000, the Economic and Social Council adopted a Ministerial Declaration on the role of information technology in the context of a knowledge-based economy.
In 2001, the Secretary-General established a high-level Information and Communication Technologies Task Force to provide overall leadership to the United Nations on the formulation of strategies to put ICT at the service of development.2 The Millennium Declaration adopted in 2000 underscored the urgency of ensuring that the benefits of new technologies, especially ICT, are made available to all. To achieve this goal, a United Nations World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) was planned in two phases. The first phase, the Geneva Summit in December 2003, aimed to develop political will and to establish the foundations for an Information Society for all.
In total, 175 Governments endorsed the Declaration of Principles3 and Plan of Action at the first phase.4 The second phase of WSIS is planned for November 2005 in Tunis. Information and Communication Technologies comprise a complex and heterogeneous set of goods, applications and services used to produce, process, distribute and transform information.

Ismail Fahmi presented on fake news, electronic information law, and civil society initiatives in Indonesia. He discussed how fake news has developed and spread through social media and alternative websites in Indonesia. Civil society groups like MAFINDO were formed to combat fake news through fact-checking, reporting hoaxes, and media literacy programs. However, media partisanship and clickbait headlines have also contributed to the spread of misinformation. The electronic information law has been used to target both anti-government and pro-government groups, but its broad scope has also led to persecution of legitimate critics. Moving forward, strengthening civil society, improving media standards, and increasing information literacy through education are needed to address the fake news issue in Indonesia
‘I don’t want to live their lives!’ The dynamics of Vietnamese digital mediaUniversity of Sydney
Vietnam demonstrates advanced levels of digital media use. Online content creators have adapted to thrive within a media ecology against non-authentic media by evolving towards experience translators. Through interviews with Vietnamese creative industry experts, online content creators and young users, this article articulates how Vietnamese digital media is similar to outside models but has its own distinctiveness, rewarding its users by providing a generally positive space for online communication. Through a de-Westernised lens, it is possible to observe Vietnamese digital media is broadly progressive, inclusive, and at an arms-length from hate speech, misinformation and vitriol content. Vietnam’s focus on positivity and support for communities over individuals has provided a burgeoning digital media market for a variety of industries. Vietnamese digital media demonstrates a pushback against commercially oriented individuals that use their platformed affordances for capital gain, in preference for content from what can be described as online experience intermediators.
How might generative artificial intelligence (AI) and automation be undertaken to produce social good? In an increasingly automated digital media world, user agency is challenged through the loss of interaction functionality on the platforms, technologies and interfaces of everyday digital media use. Instead, algorithmically designed decision making processes function for users to assist them in making sense of these environments as a means of assisting them to seek out content that is relevant, of interest and entertaining. However, if the last five years are anything to go by, these sorts of recommendations, particularly across social media, have caused anything but social cohesion and unity amongst users, and have instead spread misinformation, vitriol and hurtful media. Would our society be different had we designed systems that focused on, while still entertaining, content that places the wellbeing of humans at the forefront over content that is, for the most part, popular?
This presentation uses the lens of digital intermediation to explore how civic algorithms might be designed and implemented in digital spaces to improve social cohesion. By unpacking the technologies, institutions and automation surrounding the cultural production practices of digital intermediation, it becomes clearer how these leavers can be adjusted to nudge and encourage platforms, users and content creators to engage in improved civic processes. As a digital intermediation challenge, creating and working with civic algorithms presents as a potentially useful approach towards improving the cornerstone of our democracies by ensuring citizens have access to accurate information, are engaging in the discussions that are important and relevant to them, and are operating within digital environments that value social good alongside commercial gains.

While ICT could potentially exacerbate inequalities, addressing the gender gap in access and skills can empower women. The document reviews UN efforts since 1995 to promote women's participation in ICT and identifies strategies to close the gender divide.
Gender equality and empowerment of women through ICT Dr Lendy Spires
Gender equality and empowerment of women through ICT “The so-called digital divide is actually several gaps in one. There is a technological divide great gaps in infrastructure. There is a content divide. A lot of web-based information is simply not relevant to the real needs of people. And nearly 70 per cent of the world’s websites are in English, at times crowding out local voices and views.
There is a gender divide, with women and girls enjoying less access to information technology Introduction ICT and development The role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as a tool for development has attracted the sustained attention of the United Nations over recent years. Strategic partnerships have been developed with donors, the private sector and civil society, and working groups and task forces have been established to enhance inter-agency collaboration throughout the United Nations system. In 2000, the Economic and Social Council adopted a Ministerial Declaration on the role of information technology in the context of a knowledge-based economy.
In 2001, the Secretary-General established a high-level Information and Communication Technologies Task Force to provide overall leadership to the United Nations on the formulation of strategies to put ICT at the service of development.2 The Millennium Declaration adopted in 2000 underscored the urgency of ensuring that the benefits of new technologies, especially ICT, are made available to all. To achieve this goal, a United Nations World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) was planned in two phases. The first phase, the Geneva Summit in December 2003, aimed to develop political will and to establish the foundations for an Information Society for all.
In total, 175 Governments endorsed the Declaration of Principles3 and Plan of Action at the first phase.4 The second phase of WSIS is planned for November 2005 in Tunis. Information and Communication Technologies comprise a complex and heterogeneous set of goods, applications and services used to produce, process, distribute and transform information.

Social and political impact of virtual communitiesMiia Kosonen
The document summarizes a case study of Vaikuttamo, Finland's first virtual community for local youth participation. Vaikuttamo was developed to encourage civic engagement among 13-20 year olds and increase voting rates. It provides discussion forums, learning materials, and tools for students to voice opinions on local issues. The community saw success due to its local focus, trustful relationships with schools, and active moderation. It serves as an example of how virtual spaces can strengthen e-democracy and youth involvement in local decision making.
United Nations E-Government Survey 2012 E-Government for the PeopleBSP Media Group
This document summarizes the United Nations E-Government Survey 2012. The key points are:
1) The survey ranks 193 UN member states on their e-government development and analyzes global and regional trends in online service delivery.
2) South Korea, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and Canada are the top 5 performers in e-government development. Developing countries are progressing but still lag behind developed nations.
3) Online services are becoming more sophisticated, with many countries improving multichannel access and efforts to bridge digital divides. However, increasing actual usage of services remains a challenge.
4) A whole-of-government approach to integrated service delivery is seen as important but

Digitalization is being introduced into social processes, the successful life of people increasingly depends on it, in addition, there is a large scale introduction of digital technologies in the work of government organizations and structures. According to the level of development of the digital economy, Uzbekistan does not occupy a leading position in the world, but it confidently holds on to the group of countries following the leaders, improving its position from year to year. It is necessary for the state and business to work together to further develop the digital economy.

Fake News, Electronic Information and Transaction Law, and Civil Society Init...Ismail Fahmi
Ismail Fahmi presented on fake news, electronic information law, and civil society initiatives in Indonesia. He discussed how fake news has developed and spread through social media and alternative websites in Indonesia. Civil society groups like MAFINDO were formed to combat fake news through fact-checking, reporting hoaxes, and media literacy programs. However, media partisanship and clickbait headlines have also contributed to the spread of misinformation. The electronic information law has been used to target both anti-government and pro-government groups, but its broad scope has also led to persecution of legitimate critics. Moving forward, strengthening civil society, improving media standards, and increasing information literacy through education are needed to address the fake news issue in Indonesia

‘I don’t want to live their lives!’ The dynamics of Vietnamese digital mediaUniversity of Sydney
Vietnam demonstrates advanced levels of digital media use. Online content creators have adapted to thrive within a media ecology against non-authentic media by evolving towards experience translators. Through interviews with Vietnamese creative industry experts, online content creators and young users, this article articulates how Vietnamese digital media is similar to outside models but has its own distinctiveness, rewarding its users by providing a generally positive space for online communication. Through a de-Westernised lens, it is possible to observe Vietnamese digital media is broadly progressive, inclusive, and at an arms-length from hate speech, misinformation and vitriol content. Vietnam’s focus on positivity and support for communities over individuals has provided a burgeoning digital media market for a variety of industries. Vietnamese digital media demonstrates a pushback against commercially oriented individuals that use their platformed affordances for capital gain, in preference for content from what can be described as online experience intermediators.
How might generative artificial intelligence (AI) and automation be undertaken to produce social good? In an increasingly automated digital media world, user agency is challenged through the loss of interaction functionality on the platforms, technologies and interfaces of everyday digital media use. Instead, algorithmically designed decision making processes function for users to assist them in making sense of these environments as a means of assisting them to seek out content that is relevant, of interest and entertaining. However, if the last five years are anything to go by, these sorts of recommendations, particularly across social media, have caused anything but social cohesion and unity amongst users, and have instead spread misinformation, vitriol and hurtful media. Would our society be different had we designed systems that focused on, while still entertaining, content that places the wellbeing of humans at the forefront over content that is, for the most part, popular?
This presentation uses the lens of digital intermediation to explore how civic algorithms might be designed and implemented in digital spaces to improve social cohesion. By unpacking the technologies, institutions and automation surrounding the cultural production practices of digital intermediation, it becomes clearer how these leavers can be adjusted to nudge and encourage platforms, users and content creators to engage in improved civic processes. As a digital intermediation challenge, creating and working with civic algorithms presents as a potentially useful approach towards improving the cornerstone of our democracies by ensuring citizens have access to accurate information, are engaging in the discussions that are important and relevant to them, and are operating within digital environments that value social good alongside commercial gains.
Are newsbots really able to 'converse' with their audiences? Maybe. This presentation explores 16 newsbots and highlights some of the advantages and challenges of automating the news through bots.
What value of cultural analytics? Discerning value in digital environmentsUniversity of Sydney
This document discusses the value of cultural analytics and content creators. It presents several theories on how individuals and groups determine value, including Schwartz's theory of basic human values. It also examines different types of cultural intermediation like Bourdieu's idea of taste agents and Negus' concept of market translators. The document suggests that current metrics used to measure online influencers often fail to capture important cultural values beyond commercial interests. Moving forward, more research is needed to develop new frameworks for determining value in digital environments and ensuring diverse content is properly recognized and supported.
The document discusses how social media trends and influencers have evolved over the past ten years. While platforms and influencers have adopted new features from apps like Snapchat and TikTok, the core nature of influencers has not significantly changed. However, creative agencies that work with influencers have evolved, now focusing more on metrics, influence, and content creation through data science. The document questions how real influence can be measured and how influencers could be used to build meaningful worlds for young audiences on social media.

From KPIs to KOLs: Regulating social media and influencers within VietnamUniversity of Sydney
The recent Facebook livestream by Nguyen Phuong Hang, which lasted for over three hours, vocally criticised, and called-out online celebrities for their dysfunctional behaviour, signifies a new era for social media and influencers within the country. As a key opinion leader (KOL) herself, Nguyen Phuong Hang has the capacity to swing public opinion, triggering a key regulatory moment for the Vietnamese government. As an already regulatory-tight country, Vietnam faces a paradoxical social media regulation moment: significant investment in its digital media future, while maintaining a consistent political line. As a result of this Facebook livestream, the Vietnamese government are looking to pressure KOLs and online influencers by increasing control over livestreaming: any social media account that has more than 10,000 followers must provide their contact information to the authorities. Social media platforms will be asked to remove content that has been flagged as problematic by government officials, highlighting Vietnam’s position on regulating foreign social media platforms, not only YouTube or Facebook specifically. This research draws on algorithmic visibility literature to examine the current state of regulation for Vietnamese social media users with a specific focus on KOLs. Drawing on several recent case studies, we highlight the current state of social media regulation in Vietnam, while also extrapolating the tension the country faces as it invests in and develops its digital and creative industries.

This talk discusses algorithmic public service media (PSM) as an automation mechanism and policy lever to ensure diversity and pluralism in media. While commercial algorithmic platforms focus on popularity, PSM is tasked with social good. Algorithmic PSM could connect specific media with niche audiences in contrast to biases of commercial algorithms. It examines how PSM can utilize digital media and algorithms to meet its obligations within an increasingly automated environment, including through personalization, diversity of exposure, and critical analytics to measure impact beyond vanity metrics. Algorithmic PSM represents an opportunity for governments to support public media organizations and engage with large technology platforms on a more level playing field.
Digital intermediation: Towards Transparent Public Automated MediaUniversity of Sydney
The document discusses digital intermediation, which refers to the combination of data (online content producers) and algorithms (automated decision making within media systems) and how they create new forms of online communities and knowledge exchange. It examines digital influencers and micro-platformization, where digital agencies ensure advertisers receive the appropriate influencer. It proposes three potential applications of digital intermediation: applying it to public service media, policy recommendations on regulatory systems, and designing algorithmic transparency interfaces. The overall aim is to understand how this new media ecosystem works and provide recommendations to help media organizations engage audiences on important issues.
Blocked by YouTube - Unseen digital intermediation for social imaginaries in ...University of Sydney
YouTube is one of the most globally utilised online content sharing sites, enabling new commercial enterprise, education opportunities and facilities for vernacular creativity (Burgess, 2006). Its user engagement demonstrates significant capacity to develop online communities, alongside its arguably more popular use as a distribution platform to monetise one’s branded self (Senft, 2013). However, as a subset of Alphabet Incorporated, its access is often restricted by governments of Asian Pacific countries who disagree with the ideology of the business. Despite this, online communities thrive in these countries, bringing into question the sorts of augmentations used by its participants. This article reframes the discussion beyond restrictive regulation to focus on the DIY approach (augmentation) of community building through the use of hidden infrastructures (algorithms). This comparative study of key YouTube channels in several Asia Pacific countries highlights the sorts of techniques that bypass limiting infrastructures to boost online community engagement and growth. Lastly, this article reframes the significance of digital intermediation to highlight the opportunities key agents contribute to strengthening social imaginaries within the Asia Pacific region.
The document discusses how researchers can study digital data and online behavior that is not directly observable. It proposes adopting methods from ethnography, such as analyzing contextual relationships and temporal patterns in user data, to develop techniques for "data ethnography". These new methodologies are needed to allow researchers to continue studying issues related to digital platforms and the capitalization of personal information in a world of increasing data interoperability across many domains of society.

Understanding Public Service Media Value Beyond Audience Metrics:Influence, ...University of Sydney
The document discusses public service media (PSM) and its role in a networked society. It argues that PSM should work with digital influencers to better understand public issues and leverage their audiences. PSM currently treats social media like traditional broadcasting, which is contrary to a networked model. To better operate as "switchers" within networks, PSM needs to embrace the multichannel network model and empower digital influencers, who act as cultural intermediaries. This would help PSM fulfill its universal remit in a neoliberal environment. The document ultimately questions whether digital influencers like Moretoki should be the new face representing PSM.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
