Human Induced Land Transformation and GIS

As India reimagines its education system in the wake of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, digital technologies have emerged as both promise and peril . The policy advocates the use of disrupti...
Heatwaves are no longer climate anomalies; they are the new normal. As India enters an era of prolonged, intense, and unpredictable thermal extremes, its rural backbone is showing signs of distress. I...
India, a nation perched precariously on one of the most active seismic belts in the world, faces a curious paradox: despite mounting geological evidence and rising urban vulnerability, public understa...

Land use is a complex and dynamic phenomenon and the changes in its pattern are attributable to human activities. The current rate of land degradation, especially in forest ecosystems, can be easily detected, mapped and sustainably managed by using GIS and remote sensing tools. Land use-land cover mapping also helps assess the regenerative status of forests.
Remote sensing and GIS can be used to generate data that can help achieve sustainable management of natural resources. Maps created through a GIS interface provide a fillip to analysis and bring us a step closer to visualising the complex patterns and relationships that characterise real-world planning and policy problems.
g-Governance can be described as a geospatial plugin to e-Governance, acting as an extended module with the additional functionality of geospatial technology. The article explains the genesis and geospatial constituents that are required for the implementation of g-Governance in India.
