Abstract

Preparing of land use maps is of great importance in terms of assessment of current situation, land utilization and examination of problems preventing more satisfactory land use.
One of the techniques whose resultant information can be used as the source for preparation of land use maps is ground resource satellites which receive information from the ground level, and present it after certain stages and through different ways.
This translated paper shows that the information from the IRS-1C satellite can be useful in development of proper methods for preparation of land use maps due to its special characteristics.
