Guidelines for authors preparing 

 

PURPOSE

These mandatory guidelines are provided for preparation of papers for the symposium proceedings 
of the "3rd symposium Remote Sensing of Urban Areas" to be held in İstanbul, Turkey on 11-13 June 2002.
 Your  cooperation in adhering to these guidelines is greatly appreciated by the organizing committee. 
The proceedings will be distributed to registrants at the symposium. All papers accepted by the 
international scientific committee will be also published on CD-ROM provided they arrive by the 
due date and they satisfy these guidelines.

There will be no opportunity for corrections or improvements of poorly prepared originals. To
assure timely and efficient production of the proceedings with a consistent and easy to read format,
authors must submit their manuscripts in strict conformance with these guidelines. The scientific
committee may omit any paper that does not conform to the specified requirements.

should be cited in the text, thus (Smith,1987b), and listed in alphabetical order in the reference
section. The following arrangements should be used:

3.3 Figures and Tables 

3.3.1 Placement: 

Figures must be placed in the appropriate location in the document, as close as practicable to the
