USE OF REMOTE SENSING TECHNOLOGY FOR INVENTORYING AND PLANNING UTILIZATION OF AND RESOURCES IN SOUTH DAKOTA

摘要

A comprehensive land use planning process model is being developed in Meade County, South Dakota, using remote sensing technology. The proper role of remote sensing in the land use planning process is being determined by interaction of remote sensing specialists with local land use planners. The land use planners determine the kinds of data needed from remote sensing. Together the remote sensing specialists and planners make recommendations. Local officials mike planning decisions based on basic soil, land use and thematic maps, and on recommendations. This report 1s the status of the project to date.nThe data that have been collected by remote sensing techniques are as follows:n1. Level I land use data interpreted at a scale of 1:250,000 from false color enlargement prints of ERTS-1 color composite transparencies.n2. Detailed land use data interpreted at a scale of 1:24,000 from enlargement color prints of high altitude RB-57 photography.n3. General soils trap interpreted at a scale of 1:250,000 from false color enlargement prints of ERTS-1 color composite transparencies.
