Abstract: In this paper, the integral programme of urban ecosystem research and remote sensing application, and its main research fields and methodology are put forward and discussed. The authors hold that it is possible to solve two difficult problems of collecting multidimensional data and handling a mass of informations by using remote sensing as a means gathering data, analysing data with the theory of large scale dynamic system, and handling and managing data in terms of expert system and geographic information system(GIS). The unmeasurable variables from space sensor are expressed as a function of measurable ones with the intermediate variables. The research field of remote sensing application is expanded with the aid of expert system and GIS.
