- Abstract
Cadastral maps are detailed scalable maps with information regarding ownership boundaries along with features such as roads, forest, temples, etc with out any specified projection and associated with record of information on land use, ownership history, area extents and topological relationship with neighboring plots. Taking into consideration the numerous benefits of a digital cadastral database, a methodology has been developed for generating geo-referenced digital database. A comprehensive pilot study has been carried out in the area covering Lohardaga district of Jharkhand state to develop implementable action plan for social benefits. Lohardagga district, Jharkhand state, India covers an area about 1491 sq.km consisting 354 villages spread over 5 blocks. Cadastral maps are geo-corrected with reference to high-resolution merged product of IRS LISS III and PAN data and CARTOSAT-I data. Great care has been taken while acquiring ground control points from satellite data and cadastral maps. Natural resources information on geomorphology, lithology, geological structures, drainage, water bodies, land use/land cover, roads, rails etc have been derived from enhanced satellite data and boundaries of state, district, block etc have been derived from district reference maps. A database standards have been framed and integrated into GIS environment. A package of Jharkhand Land Information System (JLIS)- BIRSHA VASUDHA has been developed as a tool for effective planning, ownership map printing and management of land records by the district authorities. Cadastral map of ownership boundaries in association with natural resource database derived from satellite data provided information on current status of parcel wise land utilization. Farmers of large land holdings and small/marginal land holdings were identified based on digital cadastral maps and current status of land utilization. Detailed socio-economic analysis has been carried out and people below poverty line, target groups ( SC and ST) and other low income groups have been analysed. The land use/land cover derived from multi-spectral high resolution data provided information on agricultural crop, agricultural plantation, wastelands, water bodies, marsh lands, forest etc. Logical grouping of these landuse has been carried out by combining wastelands, uncultured water bodies, marsh lands and other unutilized land as current unproductive land. Current status of agricultural activity also indicated that only kharif crop is only the major source of agro-economy. Statistical correlation of unproductive land with total target group persons below poverty level, landless labourers and small farmers have been carried out using multi-variate statistical analysis. The analysis indicated a direct correlation of unproductive land with various social groups. Cadastral level sustainable development plans have been generated for two villages namely Babhandiha and Kutmu in Lohardaga block, addressing the various social groups and government schemes for the up-liftment of poorer sector.- Abstract document
