Geomatics tools and education: status, integration and perception

Published:14 November 2013Publication History

ABSTRACT

This research attempts to determine the perception of the concept of territory with used by ICT geomatics tools present in the Web 2.0 in of university students in Chile and Spain. Through understanding the concept of territory and how this are translated into digital vision, was intended establish the students' perceptions about the use of these tools, their meanings and forms of communication. This study explores the use of ICT tools and geomatics by students and perceived spatial dimensions with these tools: territoriality, affectivity-significance and communicability. The use of geomatics tools remains at a basic level, reaching an initial opportunity to share specific elements such as the location, the reference and visual elements that exist in the territories. This opens the possibility of using these tools in the field of education about the territory.
