Land use mapping

Land use mapping is the process of creating detailed visual representations that show how different areas of land are utilized, such as for residential, commercial, agricultural, industrial, recreational, or natural purposes. It involves analyzing geographic data, often using satellite images or surveys, to categorize and record land activities. These maps help urban planners, developers, and policymakers understand current land distribution, guide future development, manage resources, and protect the environment by ensuring land is used efficiently and sustainably.
