INTERACTIVE COMPUTER PROCESSING FOR LAND USE PLANNING

A thematic mapping project is being performed featuring multispectral remote sensing, interactive computer analysis, and extensive participation by land use planners in Utah. A test site in the Salt Lake City area was flown in July 1973. The organization in Utah have organized in study groups for land use, water resources, vegetation-soils, geology-geomorphology, and imagery. Interactive analysis of the data is being conducted with an XDS-930 computer, facilities for digitizing film or analog magnetic tape, black and white and color output display devices, and an alphanumeric terminal for operator communication with the computer.
