1 The Reason of Changing The Name to Geomatics Prof.Cengizhan IPBUKER,PhD. Istanbul Technical TS 8G - Educational Needs, Commission: 2 Thursday,15 April, Bayside 202, SCEC 1/10 Coming from Istanbul Technical (ITU) TURKEY ITU The XXIV FIG-2010,Sydney ipbüker_geomatics 2/10 Sydney, Australia, April

2 The name of our department has changed in August In Turkey The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is the official authority assigning the names of departments.

3 Geomatics a new Paradigm Geomatics comes from the French word géomatique. Its roots are geo (Earth) and informatics (information + automation + ics which is the accepted form for the name of sciences). Another description of Geomatics was derived from two words Geodesy+Geoinformatic. In the Latin language, the Geomatics correspond to Geomatica. The Geomatics was defined in the Oxford Dictionary as; Geomatics: The mathematics of the earth; the science of the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data, especially instrumental data, relating to the earth's surface. It was Laval Surveying Department (Canada), in 1986, developed the first academic program in GEOMATICS in the world in replacement of its Surveying program, the names of the Department and the Faculty. So, Michel Paradis is the father of this modern geomatics paradigm.

5 We consider the term Geomatics; Professional Evolution as an accumulated professional knowledge and expertise parallel to the history of science and civilization. as an evolution in the knowledge making modes from individual scientific disciplines to technoscience. as a transdisciplinary mixture of all the surveying and mapping related doctrines. This is the reason why we have changed the name of our department.
