Abstract

Long back, the earth was ‘No man’s land’. It was man who found ‘Land’ as a space on earth, which, by birth, has geographical identity. Through the process of human civilisation, land has perceived another identity i.e. the identity by means of its use. Land produces, land accommodates, land nurtures; land is an asset to human being, a resource of nature that is qualitatively precious but quantitatively limited. So land needs maintenance, and for the sake of maintenance, its identity by means of both location and use has to be identified. Here comes the question of land information that must be maintained by a ‘system’. This ‘system’ changes both spatially and temporally as per the human need as well as progress of civilisation.
