TO MAKE A LAND USE INVENTORY AND ITS CHANGE WITH TIME AND TO MAP URBAN AND TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPING, AND THE ECOLOGICAL IMPACT WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF SEVERAL GOVERNMENT PROJECTS IN CENTRAL MEXICO

The author has identified the following significant results. Comparison between ERTS-1 image scale 1:1,000,000 and CETENAL's charts scale 1:50,000 in irrigated land surface determination in one selected spot gave the following results: Surface on CETENAL's charts 129,900 Has. and arbitrarily we gave 100 percent to this value. Surface on image 122,400 Has., 94.5 percent of the first value. It is necessary to use all four bands to have optimum results on the interpretation. The Principal Investigator made use of photointerpretation techniques only, mostly monoscopically.
