An integrated approach of Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System for the development of Geospatial Database of Udupi District, Karnataka State
نویسنده
چکیده
Geospatial technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have been widely used in land resources survey and environmental monitoring. Assessment and monitoring of natural resources like land, soil, water and vegetation and socio-economic conditions and integrating them in a spatial information platform like GIS will facilitate the effective management of land resources. In the present study, an attempt has been made to develop spatial information system of Udupi district of coastal Karnataka by an integrated approach using Remote Sensing, GPS and other ancillary data on GIS. Indian Remote Sensing satellites IRS-1C/IRS-1D images are analysed using visual and digital interpretation techniques. The data generated are the base line data which are useful for the planning, development and management of natural resources and infrastructure development of this district.
