GIS Mapping for Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT) using High

Resolution Satellite Data

Introduction

Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT) an Autonomous Body under Ministry of Shipping
Government of India has 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
Mumbai. Under this project MbPT intends to generate the geo-spatial data which
would be helpful for the stakeholders’ planners and designers in decision making.
Realizing this, MbPT has approached and requested Maharashtra Remote
Sensing Applications Centre (MRSAC) Nagpur, an autonomous body under
Planning Department, Government of Maharashtra, to generate the Remote
Sensing and GIS database for the agency.

Objectives

1. Creation of Geo-Spatial database of Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT) using:
a) High Resolution Satellite data.
b) Maps of Mumbai Port Trust on 1:5000 scale or larger.
c) City Survey Maps for base map and land use map on 1:5000
scale.
2. Design and development of the standards for Geo-Spatial database for
MPT in GIS environment.
3. Scanning, digitization and geo-referencing of city cadastral maps and other
maps provided for the study area.
4. Preparation of urban land use map on 1:5000 scale with high resolution
satellite data for the years 1994/95, 2000, 2004, 2012 and 2014.
5. Procurement of GIS related hardware and software at MbPT for Phase-I
activity.
6. Design and development of Mobile application for collection of field level
attribute data of MbPT Assets.
7. Establishment of linkage of non-spatial (MIS) data with geo-spatial data.
8. Development of Web browser application for geo-spatial data view and
query.
