In
Québec, territory is synonymous with vastness. Indeed,
Québec's territory takes in 1,667,926 km²
with seemingly unlimited resources. Thoroughly exploring and developing
such a territory therefore represents a significant challenge, which
is why Quebeckers have put exceptional effort and creativity into
it for quite some time.
As manager of public lands and because of
its responsibility for developing knowledge about the territory
and its resources, the Department has developed management tools
and know-how at the cutting edge of technology:
|
- Geodetic networks;
- Aerial photographs;
- Digital orthophotos;
- Remote sensing;
- Geographc reference foundation for Québec;
- Harmonizing sage on public lands;
- Delegation of management;
- Management of land rights;
- Application of rigorous quality control standards;
- Partnership with regions and private enterprise;
|
|
All these dimensions of know-how
and these management tools enable Québec to adequately manage
its territory, enhance its economic benefits, and better respond
to the social and environmental concerns of the province's population.
By making use of geomatics and satellites,
Québec now has the management models and tools needed for
managing its territory from the standpoint of geography and land
use. Its recognized expertise has earned Québec an enviable
position in North America and the world in these fields.
