Scientific GIS Digital Base Maps - Urban Planning using GIS/RS Technologies
Introduction
To achieve the objectives of making metropolis cities more livable and of international standard, a co-coordinated and integrated approach among the various agencies involved in urban development and provision of services are needed including participatory process in planning and implementation at local body levels. As well as to have planned and organized disposal of population through growth centers, which will acts as counter-magnets to the cities growth. This growth may not able to withstand the existing infrastructure, traffic, road, drainage and utility networks etc.,. Advance urban planning is required for a planned development of the area for which an accurate & up-to-date GIS digital map is a must.
Unlike other major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai etc., in our country, realization of the plan through large scale acquisition and development of land, to ensure spatial pattern of development and provision of recreational, educational and other institutional facilities, was not aimed at. Public sector lead growth and development process was not envisaged, but it was of private involved growth process (regulated by public) to achieve the objectives of town planning. The land use zoning concept adopted since 1975 was the ‘Mixed Zoning Concept’ which suit better city’s social way of life considerations, and not exclusive zoning (mostly adopted in western countries and also in zone of our metro cities) which have created major problems in our Indian cities.
To solve this problem, well planned master plans GIS maps are required for proper town planning, So this article will explaining the Concept and Preparation of Scientific GIS digital base map of major cities/for entire State by GIS/RS Method using High Resolution Satellite images with a resolution of 0.6m/0.5m and updations of missing details by Total Station Survey, to generate 2D digital map data to fit for producing hard copies of maps at basic scale of 1:5,000 & 1: 2,000 and this base map data will be incorporated in a GIS system for further town planning for Infrastructure management.
