This compendium of nineteen papers analyses the significance of identifying and monitoring land use changes, using remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS), and examines their utility for planning purposes. Discussing the application of spatial informatics in land use studies, the contributors deliberate on agricultural land use and development, urban land use dynamics and its influence, and socio-economic development. The book will be of great use for researchers, policy makers and development planners.
