Mapping of Land Use land cover for JNPT area using High Resolution Satellite data of 15 years on 1:15000 scale.

Introduction

         Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) an Autonomous Body under Ministry of Shipping Government of India had proposed to create the Large-Scale Database by using a very High-Resolution Satellite Data for an area under its jurisdiction. The study is aimed at generating a geo-spatial data of detailed urban land use land cover data showing all the details of existing structures on the sites with docks, container yards, roads, jetties, piers, railway tracks, oil pipelines, open spaces, slums, etc. and other site features duly superimposed on city cadastral data of Collector Navi Mumbai. In this project JNPT intends to generate the geo-spatial data which would be helpful for the stakeholders’ planners and designers in decision making. Realizing this, JNPT has approached and requested Maharashtra Remote Sensing Application Centre (MRSAC) Nagpur, to generate the Remote Sensing and GIS database for the agency.
