   What is remote sensing?

   Hint

   Think about how we can collect information from afar.

2. 2.

   What is the purpose of GIS?

   Hint

   What kind of tool helps map data?

3. 3.

   What is the role of remote sensing in construction?

   • To collect ground data
   • To monitor environmental impacts
   • To provide artistic impressions

   Hint

   Think about the high vantage point of satellite images.

4. 4.

   True or False: GIS helps in optimizing routes for construction projects.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Remember how mapping helps in planning.

5. 5.

   Consider a large urban construction project. How would you implement remote sensing and GIS to monitor environmental impacts during the project?

   Hint

   Think about what data you would need beforehand and what you would monitor throughout.

6. 6.

   Evaluate how remote sensing can inform decision-making in emergency situations, such as natural disasters affecting construction sites.

   Hint

   Consider the speed of data delivery and the layout of affected areas.
