LAND USE IN THE SARKIN PAWA AREA FROM AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS

Abstract:

Use was raade of a general soil map and a geological map. Land use was sampled by dot grids from aerial photograph, and recorded on micro-computer files. Land facet data was acquired in a similar manner. Interpretations from the geoloqical formations included: (1) limitations to land use, and (2) resource opportunities for agricultural and environmental management. Analysis correlation between land use and slope.
