The article discusses how remote sensing technology can help improve decision-making and actions related to resource management. The researchers looked at different ways remote sensing can be used, such as directly impacting decisions or having a delayed effect. They studied various cases, including planning river basins, locating highways, managing timber, enforcing laws, preserving open spaces, equalizing property taxes, and optimizing plant locations for agriculture. The findings show that remote sensing can be a valuable tool in making better resource use decisions and taking effective actions.
