Abstract:
This paper deals with the Remote sensing Techniques suitability in the rapid land use mapping within a short time and sufficiently accurate manner. It evaluates how Landsat MSS data could be used to identify and delineate land use pattern within the Indore-Bhopal region of Madhya Pradesh. The main objective was to prepare small scale land use map from satellite imagery showing broad distribution of land use pattern of a large area. On landsat MSS scene No.157-44 of 14 Nov., 1972 of Indore-Bhopal region of Madhya Pradesh was examined to determine the ease of identifying major land use and land cover classes.
