Abstract

A major problem in constructing land use maps is that locally recorded land use data are not often locationally identified in a form compatible with the input requirements of computer mapping programs. In this paper, the logic of a computer program is described which transforms into explicit locational coordinates, descriptions of land areas recorded according to a cadastral survey system. Accurate and inexpensive land use maps consequently can be produced directly by computer without recourse to a costly process of locational re-coding of individual land units. The program is illustrated with an example from local land records in the states of Punjab and Haryana, India.
