Remote sensing and GIS techniques are useful for managing urban environments. The document discusses how satellite imagery and GIS can be used to:
1) Analyze land use and land cover of Dehradun city using IKONOS satellite data and classify imagery into classes like built-up, vegetation, and open areas.
2) Map locations of urban infrastructure and facilities in Dehradun like schools, hospitals, and roads to understand their distribution and assess accessibility using network analysis.
3) Propose suitable sites for new hospitals and schools through multi-criteria analysis of population density, existing facilities, and road access.

2. Cities have always attracted human beings.
Hubs of all kinds of economic activities.
Resulted into ever-growing population size,
sqeezing open spaces available within city and exerted pressure
on civic amenities. (dramatic phenomeon of urbnisation)
Growth of population –fundamental factor in human ecological
system & its r/ship to natural resources, environ & technology.
Man has a pivotal role to maintain the required balance and is
obligatory on his part.
Therefore, it is essential to understand the nature of cities,
their functions, & services, so as disadvantages can be
minimized.
Healthy development of cities rests on its immediate environ,
which is under stress owing to development changes.
3. Land use planning assumes importance in creating
living cities.
Urban development monitoring and mapping are
necessary & for effective policy for unplanned areas.
Monitoring & mapping require reliable data at regular
interval.
Momentum of urban development outpaced traditional
technologies of surveying & mapping.
Studies demonstrated RS data and conjunction are
very helpful in monitoring and mapping.
IRS-1D, IRS P6, LANDSAT, IKONOS and other high
resolution imagery can be very helpful for repetitive
data and GIS as tool for automation in mapping..
4. Objectives:
To highlight the importance of remote sensing and
GIS technology in the study and management of
urban areas. For this purpose it aims :
1. to analyse the urban land use and land cover
of a city using RS and GIS technology.
2. to obtain a pattern of location of various
types of facilities and how they can be
managed in terms of better urban planning
using GIS technology.
5. Data and Methods :
Any high resolution data (urban areas needs accurate
detection of landuse due to high land prices), in
this study, Satellite data (Image) IKONOS.
Spatial data (Topographical Map), and Guide map of
the city.
Collateral data: Ward wise information from Census
2001.
Software used: ERDAS Imagine and ARC VIEW
GPS technology was also utilized for marking the
facilities location.

Land Use and land cover for Dehradun using IKONOS
22. Results:
Superimposing ward-wise map and IKONOS data, the
prominent land use of the city is the built up area (52.7%)
of the total area of the city.
Next class is the thick vegetation, i.e. 20.7 per cent.
The open land comprises 3 percent of total land area-
which include open grounds, parks and stadium.
The entire city was broadly classified into seven classes.
Regarding the results, most of the objects of interest could
be identified.
It revealed great potential of multi-spectral high resolution
IKONOS data for mapping and monitoring of land use and
land cover over a period of time.
23. For urban planning, the maps made in this manner can
be used for the following purposes:
- Identification of vacant land for acquisition.
-Updating of base maps.
-Alignment of major roads and railways.
-In change detection over a period of time with
reference to land use and land cover.
24. 2. Management of Urban Infrastructure/Utility services:
-Quality of life in urban areas largely depends on the
availability of infrastructure.
-To prevent anarchy in the matter of utilities and services,
the planning of infrastructure becomes absolutely vital.
-With the help of GIS and GPS, location of facilities are
marked (concentration, dispersion index, availability,
physical accessibility of services can be known).
-With the help of road network, using GIS, buffer and
connectivity analysis has been done i.e. within specified km
or any specified distance, how much area and population
does it covers. (city planners can calculate service demands
for public facilities)

31. Site Suitability analysis
• A multiple theme based query using relevant fields
from various input themes was generated to propose
sites for hospitals and schools
• Three theme based queries were run for finding out
suitable hospital sites:
• major road network map
• ward wise population density and
• distance from the existing hospitals
32. POPULATION DENSITY IS MORE THAN 8000
PERSONS, THE DISTANCE FROM THE MAJOR
ROAD NETWORK IS EQUAL TO 300MT AND
THE DISTANCE FROM EXISTING FACILITY IS
MORE THAN OR EQUAL TO1000M.
QUERY WAS:(NWGRID>=POPDEN)AND
(ROADGRD>=300MT)AND
HOSDISTGRID>=1000MT).
IN ORDER TO FIND SUITABLE SITES FOR
SCHOOLS IN THE CITY, SIMILAR QUERY WAS
MADE USING THREE DIFFERENT THEMES AS
INPUT THEMES.
SUITABLE SITE FOR HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS
HAVE BEEN MAPPED
34. query for finding suitable site for schools was;
ulation density more than 8000 persons per sq. km
ance from major roads equal to 1 km, but connected with roads
ance from existing schools 5 km.
35. CONCLUSIO
N:
Ward-wise land use and land cover classification
was obtained.
The existing pattern of land use can be linked to
human activities.
The entire city was classified into seven classes.
Broad level mapping and monitoring in land
use/land cover and change detection over a period
of time can be done.
Availability, accessibility and interconnectivity of
various facilities and suitable location of
additional facilities can be known.
36. In addition to this:
Base maps of towns for development purposes can be
prepared and upgraded more frequently as high
resolution satellite imagery is ideal, cost and time effective for
producing, (Further, maps have traditionally been a state
responsibility, Govt. have invested heavily in building surveys
& mapping infrastructure).
For identification of vacant land for town planning, for location
of services, for management of urban infrastructure and traffic
networking i.e. finding shortest route, alternative routes during
rush hours, alignment of roads, railways and high traffic lines
etc. these two technologies can help in the improvement of
overall urban environment.
