Land Resources Expansion Monitoring and Management: A RS-GIS Approach

Abstract- Land resource monitor use is necessary to prepare the land use plans because of rapidly land use changes/expension around the Shivpuri city, India. For this purpose exploratory, semi-detail and detailed surveys are undertaken using remote sensing techniques and satellite imageries in order to acquire useful and variety of information at same scale and assist in monitoring valuable information. In this paper, study on land resource mapping through supervised classification has presented for better understand the land uses characteristics and expansion monitoring. On 1:15,000 scale, supervised classification image generated from supervised signature classes varies pixel to pixel (sample points using a random point generate or for each land cover class) land uses on satellite images and accuracy assessment designed and implemented on the IRS-1D satellite 2003 and 2006 images data. IRS-1D facilitated multi faceted applications in the fields of agriculture, forestry, land use etc.The accuracies varied according to the class and classified data verified on ground with the help of GPS. This approach encourage to govt. and local development agencies to use remote sensing and gis based land resource mapping and their management in respective areas
