Use of Remote Sensing Information in Planning

Remote sensing includes photo-interpretation and photogrammetry. Both these techniques have contributed, and still contribute today, to many planning processes since they constitute major ways to collect geographical or geocoded data It has become relatively easy to scan aerial photographs and to store the results (computer assisted photo-interpretation) in digital form in geographical databases. The key question is whether satellite remote sensing is useful for planning purposes. Can we consider satellite imagery as a surrogate for standard data sources in planning? Is satellite remote sensing able to cast new insights into certain planning practices? If so, can the digital form of the satellite images make its integration easier in geographical databases and information systems? This chapter addresses those questions, twenty five years after the launch of ERTS-1 (Landsat-1), ten years after the advent of the ‘second generation’sensors (SPOT HRV) and at the beginning of a new epoch which will be characterised by an immense and diverse supply of satellite images.
