Reference excerpt

The National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA; Filipino: Pambansang Pangasiwaan sa Pagmamapa at Dulugang Kaalaman) is an agency of the Philippine government under the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) that is responsible for providing the public with mapmaking services and acting as the central mapping agency, depository, and distribution facility of natural resources data in the form of maps, charts, texts, and statistics.

History 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 mapmaking 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 branches are undertaking the networks of operation on map production and information generation. These are the Hydrography Branch (HB), the Mapping and Geodesy Branch (MGB), the Resource Data Analysis Branch (RDAB), and the Geospatial Information System Management Branch (GISMB).

Technical Departments

Hydrography Branch The functions of the Hydrography Branch (HB) are:

To acquire and analyze hydrographic and oceanographic data used to promote navigational safety and oceanographic research. Outputs are nautical charts, navigational warnings, tide and current predictions.

Mapping and Geodesy Branch As the sole agency of the government, NAMRIA with its Mapping and Geodesy Department (MGD) 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.

Resource Data Analysis Branch The Resource Data Analysis Branch (RDAB) is mandated to conduct land use assessment/evaluation and land classification. Its functions are:

to provide remote sensing services and vital data on the environment, land use, forestry, agriculture, water resources, and coastal zone, among others, and to conduct research on remote sensing and GIS applications.

Geospatial Information System Management Branch The Geospatial Information System Management Branch (GISMB) 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.

Support Services Branch The Engineering Services Department (ESD) is mandated to work and maintain the internet connection, maintenance of the agency data link server and all of the office computers, facilities and vehicle, instrument. It also serves as the marketing arm of the agency for all its products and services. shows actual maps covered under alienable and disposable lands.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with National Mapping and Resource Information Authority

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what National Mapping and Resource Information Authority claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to National Mapping and Resource Information Authority before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about National Mapping and Resource Information Authority ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of National Mapping and Resource Information Authority

In research: National Mapping and Resource Information Authority appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses National Mapping and Resource Information Authority in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: National Mapping and Resource Information Authority is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Department of Environment and Natural Resources (Philippines), National mapping agencies, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for National Mapping and Resource Information Authority outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
