Abstract
Abstract Perhaps the most notable problem in the rapid pace of urbanization in the developing world is the need for housing and the provision of related services. The quality of planning and decision making processes can be substantially improved when suitable data are appropriately and efficiently handled. This study reviews the development of remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) techniques for urban analysis. It then applies these techniques to evaluate several types of planning related information in a raster based (GIS) to identify potential low income housing sites in the eastern portion of the Bangkok Metropolitan Area. This work demonstrates how satellite imagery can provide both site specific information on land cover for mapping urban residential land use, and also act as a medium to generate a variety of GIS coverages.
