Land management and land planning requires a knowledge of the current state of the landscape. Understanding current land cover and how it is being used, along with an accurate means of monitoring change over time, is vital to any person responsible for land management. Measuring current conditions and how they are changing can be easily achieved through land use land cover mapping, a process that measures current land resources into a series of thematic categories, such as forest, water, environment and urban surfaces.
By using remotely sensed imagery and semi-automated classification methods, VCS provides cost-effective and accurate means to derive land use land cover map and information.
