The purpose of this book is to introduce land planners to the
principles of remote sensing and to the applications remote sensing
has to the land planning process. The potential applications to
land planning are many and varied. For example, remote sensing
techniques, and aerial photography in particular, can provide
planners with an overview of their communities they can obtain in
no other way. These same techniques can also provide planners with
a whole variety of land resource data and have the capability of
updating these data on a syste matic basis. Maps, too, can be
produced from a combination of remote sensing and cartographic
techniques - engineering maps, topographic maps, property maps, and
a host of other thematic maps. These maps and the photos from which
they are made can be used by planners to explain proposed land use
or zoning changes at public meetings. They may also be introduced
as evidence in courts of law if later the results of these changes
are contested by individual or groups of landowners. Since land
planning tends to be conducted at local levels, the discussion in
this book focuses on the uses of aerial photography - the most
effective tool for small area analysis. The discussion is also
directed at those who are not regular users of remote sensing
techniques."
