1, East China Normal University: It can be regarded as the best school with State Key Laboratory.
2. Wuhan University: the best surveying and mapping school.
3. Beijing Normal University: the top university in the field of remote sensing.
4 Central South University. Central South University practices the motto of "Running the World".
Geographic information science belongs to cartography and geographic information system under the first-class discipline of geography in the national subject catalogue. The best schools of geographic information science in China are Peking University, Beijing Normal University and East China Normal University, all of which are national key first-class disciplines of geography.
Then Wuhan University and Nanjing Normal University, which are two national key disciplines of cartography and geographic information system. Then there is Sun Yat-sen University, which is the national focus of cartography and geographic information system (two disciplines).
Majors mainly study the basic theories and knowledge of geographic information system, cartography and remote sensing technology, and are trained in scientific thinking and scientific experiments in applied basic research and technology development. They only have good scientific literacy, basic skills in research, design and development of geographic information systems, and preliminary teaching, research, development and management capabilities.
Development space:
Many disciplines benefit from geographic information system technology. The active geographic information system market leads to the low cost of GIS components and the continuous improvement of software and hardware. These developments in turn lead to the wider application of this technology in science, government, enterprises and industries, including real estate, public health, crime map, national defense, sustainable development, natural resources, landscape architecture, archaeology, community planning, transportation and logistics. Geographic information system is also divided into Location Services (LBS).
LBS uses GPS to display its location (nearest restaurant, gas station, fire hydrant) with mobile devices through the relationship between its location and fixed base stations and mobile devices (friends, children, police cars), or send their locations back to the central server for display or other processing. With the integration of GPS functions with increasingly powerful mobile electronic devices (mobile phones, tablets, laptops), these services will continue to develop.
