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.

Objective:
The aim and objective of the project was to prepare Land Use land cover
maps for JNPT area using High Resolution Satellite data of 15 years on

1:15000 scale.

Data Used:
Conventional inputs used for the project: Boundary map of JNPT area and
other related maps in DWG and PDF format. Earlier LU/LC maps.

Satellite Data:
High Resolution Satellite data of the year 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005,

2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014.
Beneficiary:

• Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT)
