Proximity of Transportation Network of Shimoga City Using Remote Sensing and Gis

Abstract

Proximity Of Transportation Network Of Shimoga City Using Remote Sensing And Gis Analysis of remotely-sensed and hyperspectral data has significant potential application in the areas of planning of, and better decision support for, transportation networks. With increased demand for better transportation facilities and rapid urbanization, there has been large-scale modification of land cover systems.

This rapid and often haphazard growth couples with increasing pressure by expanding population needs, resulting in deterioration of infrastructure facilities, loss of productive agricultural lands and green open spaces, loss of surface water bodies and depletion of ground water aquifers zones.

Conclusion

A framework for a phased approach to the acquisition and use of remote sensing and spatial information to support an environmental impact study is proposed and detailed. The approach involves two phases, the first of which reduces the geographic scope to a manageable few corridors for which screening criteria, assessment of alternatives, and analysis of constraints are met and for which the collection of high accuracy data can be carefully planned, scheduled, and accomplished.
