A GEOSPATIAL FRAME WORK FOR MAPPING OF APPROXIMATE CADASTRAL SUB DIVISIONS IN JONIGANURU VILLAGE, SANTHIPURAM MANDAL, CHITTO O R DISTRICT, ANDHRA PRADESH - AN INITIATIVE

He dig ital cadastral map is the fundamental component of any cadastral system and used for legal, administrative and economic decision making as well as an aid for planning and development.

This paper mainly elaborate the method s used for producing and updating the sub divisions of cadastral map. It investigates the use of High Resolution Satellite Imagery (HRSI) and Differential Global Positional System (DGPS) were vital elements in timely maintaining many of the cadastral maps in GIS. The abilities of remote sensing imageries in sub parcel mapping are evaluated using World View - 2 satellite data. With the above background, this paper highlights the process of integrating legal and geometric sub - divisional cadastral information to develop a new digital sub - divisional cadastral system. The study reveals that the sub - parcel wise geo - coded information serves the administrative mandates, maintaining up to date database, assigning values for taxation, addressing rural development, manag ement and services to citizens.
