As provided for in the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Administrative Order No. 31, series of 1988, which prescribed the guidelines implementing Section 22 (a) of Executive Order 192, our organization is mandated to provide the public with map-making services and to act as the central mapping agency, depository, and distribution facility of natural resources data in the form of maps, charts, texts, and statistics.

Four (4) technical departments are undertaking the networks of operation on map production and information generation. These are the Coast and Geodetic Surveys Department (CGSD), the Mapping and Reprography Department (MRD), the Remote Sensing and Resource Data Analysis Department (RSRDAD), and the Information Management Department (IMD).

The functions of the Coast and Geodetic Surveys Department (CGSD) are :

(1) to acquire and analyze hydrographic and oceanographic data used for promoting navigational safety and oceanographic research. Outputs are nautical charts, navigational warnings, tide and current predictions, and

(2) to establish and maintain a national geodetic control network to serve as common reference for all surveying and mapping activities in the country.

     
         
 
   
 

As the sole agency of the government, NAMRIA with its Mapping and Reprography Department (MRD) produces, maintains and updates base maps that will serve as basic inputs in various development activities of the government, the academic and scientific community, and the private sector.

These maps are produced based on data obtained from aerial photography and satellite imagery.

     
         
   
 

The Remote Sensing and Resource Data Analysis Department (RSRDAD) is mandated to conduct land use assessment/evaluation and land classification. It's functions are :

(1) to provide remote sensing services and vital data on the environment, land use, forestry, agriculture, water resources, coastal zone, among others, and

(2) to conduct researches on remote sensing and GIS applications.

   
         
 
   
 

The Information Management Department (IMD) works toward the sharing, transfer, exchange, packaging and dissemination of environment and natural resources data. It develops and maintains information systems and environment and natural resources databases for use not only within NAMRIA but also by outside clients.

It also serves as the marketing arm of the agency for all its products and services.

     
           
           
 
 

Geomatics is the discipline of gathering, storing, processing, and delivering of geographic information. This broad term applies both to science and technology, and integrates the following more specific disciplines and technologies:

geodesy, surveying, mapping, positioning, navigation, cartography, remote sensing, photogrammetry, geographic information systems, global positioning system

The NAMRIA Geomatics Training Center (GTC) offers courses on geomatics.
