GEO 440: GIS for Urban & Regional Planning
OVERVIEW
The textbook GIS methods section: Provides basic understanding
of GIS concepts What is RS? How can we use RS for GIS,
when, where and why?
REMOTE SENSING
Remote sensing is the art, science, and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment through the process of recording, measuring and interpreting imagery and digital representation of energy patterns derived from non-contact sensor systems
(American Society for Photogrammetric and RS).
REMOTE SENSING
1) Collect information about the earth
surfaces.
2) It provides a reliable and cost-effective
means of studying the natural and
human environment.
3) Can be used for protection, natural
resources management and planning.
RS FOR URBAN PLANNING
Development of urban planning applications using RS.
Monitoring Urban Growth.
Mapping cities and communities.
Planning and Policy:
To study land use, urban zoning.
To detect changes in land use from
agricultural land to a construction site or
housing development.
RS AND PLANNING
RS support multi-scale urban planning.
Three scales of urban and rural planning, such
as:
city and town system planning.
urban master planning.
detailed urban planning.
RS AND PLANNING
Examples:
Categorizing natural disaster damage
assessment using satellite-based.
Comparison of remote sensing image
processing techniques to identify
tornado damage areas from Landsat
TM data.
o When can we use RS for urban planning?
o When we can not use RS for urban planning?
o Chapter 3 discussed RS for GIS applications, what are those?
