• Use remote sensing data to update the status and assess the change of landcover/landuse (rice, fruit trees, forest and aquaculture) in Mekong Delta;
• Evaluate the applicability of high resolution VNREDSat-1satellite data for the determination and calculation the area of the changes;
• Enhance capacity building about remote sensing applications for relevant agencies.

- Theoretical results:
• Method to evaluate VNREDSat-1 satellite images (the first Vietnamese optical satellite) comparing with other equivalent satellite images such as SPOT, RapidEye;
• Estimation yield model from radar satellite images;
• Method to make the data set and the regulations of database.
- Applied results:
• Assessment VNREDSat-1 data comparing with other equivalent satellite images about accuracy of coordinates and spectral reflectance values;
• Application VNREDSat-1 images to monitor agricultural land;
• Application radar satellite images to estimate rice yield;
• Development integrated remote sensing and GIS database to monitor agricultural land in Southwest region (Mekong Delta).
