Z_GIS Research is fostering new technologies for spatial decision support and policy implementation and thereby contributes to more effectively visualizing, understanding, managing and communicating policy-relevant information in a spatially explicit manner. Computer-based methods and tools are applied and adapted to landscape and urban analysis, water and environmental management, crisis and conflict prevention, in the light of sustainable development. A specific methodological focus is the integration of existing geo-spatial data and up-to-date satellite-derived information: the Centre is a Centre of Excellence for object based image analysis.
Utafiti wa Z_GIS unakuza tekinolojia mpya za maamuzi -huhimili na kuweka mashauri na hivyo basi kuchangia zaidi katika kuangazia, kuelewa, kusimamia mawasiliano, mashauri yanayofaa,na taarifa katika njia iliyowazi.Methodolojia za computer na vifaa hutumika ili kutathimini mandhari ya nchi na miji, usimamizi wa maji na mazingira, kuzuia mzozano na migogoro katika kuangazia maendeleo endelevu.Lengo la kituo hiki hasa ni kuweka pamoja data ya ‘geo-spatial’ na taarifa za kila wakati kutoka kwa mtandao: kituo hiki ni kituo bora cha machanganuo ya michoro.
