General Introduction
The International Perspectives Webinar Series brings together distinguished experts and scholars from ASEAN and beyond to exchange insights on emerging ideas and innovative practices across disciplines. This edition highlights “Urban Expansion Analysis Using Remote Sensing and GIS”. As global efforts to promote sustainable urban development and resilient cities continue to accelerate—driven by rapid urbanization, advances in geospatial technologies, and evidence-based planning—remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are emerging as essential tools for monitoring and analyzing urban growth.
This session explores how satellite imagery, spatial analysis, and geospatial modeling are being applied to assess urban expansion patterns, evaluate land use and land cover changes, and support informed decision-making for sustainable urban planning and management. Through keynote sharing and interactive discussion, the webinar promotes knowledge exchange and a deeper understanding of how remote sensing technologies, GIS applications, and spatial planning frameworks intersect in advancing urban expansion analysis and supporting sustainable development in rapidly growing regions.

This Course is for
1.University students and young researchers interested in urban studies, remote sensing, GIS, and geospatial technologies for analyzing urban expansion and supporting sustainable city development.
2.Early-career professionals and aspiring planners, surveyors, and geospatial analysts seeking to broaden their perspectives on satellite imagery, spatial analysis, and GIS-based approaches for monitoring urban growth and land use change.
3.Scholars, lecturers, and researchers focusing on urban planning, geography, remote sensing, GIS, environmental management, and spatial analysis, particularly in understanding urban expansion dynamics and their implications for sustainable development.
4.Global-minded participants eager to gain cross-cultural insights into how remote sensing and GIS technologies can support evidence-based urban planning, monitor urbanization patterns, and promote sustainable and resilient cities worldwide.
