RS Gis Applications Notes

Remote sensing and GIS technologies can be used to monitor and map urban growth and changes over time. Satellite images allow extraction of information on land use, land cover, built-up areas, and physical environment. This digital data integrated using geospatial technologies can significantly improve urban and regional planning and management by providing information. However, extracting urban information requires high spatial resolution due to complex land use patterns within cities and towns in India. The scale of mapping must match the scale of planning to provide relevant land use and land cover details. These technologies have applications in flagship programs of India's Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs like Smart Cities Mission, AMRUT Mission, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, and HRIDAY for

APPLICATIONS OF RS GIS

NOTES

COURSE COORDINATOR: SUBMITTED BY: RIDDHI SARDA


PROF. VIDYA GHUGE MT19UPL013
Urban: characterised by higher population density and infrastructure in comparison to areas surrounding it. It may be cities,
towns or conurbations excluding rural settlements e.g., villages and hamlets. As per Census of India (2001):
a) All statutory places with a municipality, corporation,cantonment board or notified town area committee, etc.
b) A place satisfying following three criteria:
i. a minimum population of 5,000,
ii. at least 75% of male working population engaged in non-agricultural pursuits, and
iii. a population density of at least 400 persons per sq. km. City/town with population of 100,000 and above.

These innovative technologies (above) have been recognized worldwide as an effective technology for the monitoring and mapping the urban growth and
environmental change. The main advantage of satellite remote sensing is its repetitive and synoptic coverage that is very much useful for the study of urban
area. It helps to create information base on land use, land cover distribution, urban change detection, monitoring urban growth and urban environmental
impact assessment.

GIS is basically an information system that deals with spatial data. As almost all municipal data has spatial relevance GIS assumes a central role in such a
system. Geographic Information System is a computer-based system to capture store, edit, display, and plot geographically referenced data. Geographic
Information System provides for input, coordinate registration/transformation, management, query, analysis, modelling, map composition and production
of cartographic & maps.
By utilizing remote sensing data and implementing GIS mapping techniques, change detection over a period of time of the urban areas can be monitored and
mapped for specific developmental projects. Satellite Remote Sensing, with its repetitive coverage together with multi-spectral (MSS) capabilities is a
powerful tool to map and monitor the emerging changes in the urban core as well as in the peripheral areas of any urban areas. The spatial patterns of urban
sprawl in all direction over different periods, can be systematically mapped, monitored and accurately assessed from remotely sensed data along with
conventional ground data.Satellite images enable us to better understand some of the intrinsic components of urban ecosystems and the interactions within
whole urban environment. Remote Sensing technology can be put to best use if it is incorporated with GIS.
Wealth of information pertaining to land features, land
use, built up areas, city structure, physical aspects of
environment etc. This digital data provides information
that can significantly improve the effectiveness of urban
and regional planning and management.The digital data
and can be integrated using geospatial technology which
can extract information from urban and regional areas.

Cities and towns in India exhibit complex land use-patterns, with the size of urban parcels varying frequently within very short distance. The extraction of
urban information from remotely sensed data therefore requires higher spatial resolution.

APPLICATIONS
REGION: A portion of earth's surface having homogeneous physical conditions, Which may range from a single feature region to compage, depending on the criteria used
for delineation. A region may consist of a few villages or a number of countries, for example, agriculture region, resource region, city region, planning region.
APPLICATIONS OF RS GIS : FLAGSHIP PROGRAMS OF MoHUA- GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

Smart City Mission: Building 100 smart cities: Uses ICT to be more intelligent
and efficient in use of resources, resulting in cost and energy savings, improved
service delivery and quality of life, and reduced environmental footprint- all
supporting innovation and low-carbon economy.
AMRUT Mission: Infrastructure upgradation for 500 cities
1. Ensure that every household has access to a tap with assured supply of water
and a sewerage connection;
2. Increase amenity value of cities by developing greenery and well maintained
open spaces (e.g. parks); and
3. Reduce pollution by switching to public transport or constructing facilities for
non-motorised transport (e.g. walking and cycling).
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan: Towards a cleaner India
