LAND-USE PLANNING AIDED BY COMPUTER CELLULAR MODELLING/MAPPING SYSTEM TO COMBINE REMOTE SENSING, NATURAL RESOURCES, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DATA

Wise management will ensure proper balance of competitive demands and will reduce the likelihood of thoughtless foreclosures of fundamental environmental options. This requires map, point, and tabular data of such varied attributes as land-cover or terrain types; surface and subsurface natural physical features; ecology; socio-economic features; and point features such as locations of key facilities. Some of these types of data can be acquired by remote sensing, and others must be acquired from conventional sources. There is an urgent need to devise a system of combining and manipulating these new and existing data, and to reformat them into products that are understandable.
