Our Expertise

Specialized Land Use GIS Mapping for Every Purpose

HRP Infra delivers multi-scale, high-accuracy Land Use Land Cover (LULC) mapping for urban development authorities, state governments, infrastructure projects, and environmental assessments across Gujarat and India. We combine multi-spectral satellite imagery (Sentinel-2, ResourceSat-2, Cartosat) with ground-truth field surveys to produce classification maps that exceed MoEFCC and BIS accuracy standards.

Satellite-Based LULC Classification

Multi-temporal satellite imagery analysis using supervised and unsupervised classification algorithms to map agricultural, built-up, forest, wetland, and water body classes.

Urban Land Use Mapping

Detailed urban land use classification (residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, recreational, transportation) for master plan preparation and development regulation in Gujarat ULBs.

Agricultural & Irrigation Mapping

Crop pattern identification, kharif/rabi season mapping, and irrigated vs. rainfed land classification for water resource planning and agricultural department studies.

Change Detection Analysis

Multi-temporal LULC comparison to quantify land conversion, urban sprawl, deforestation, and encroachment trends over 5, 10, or 20-year periods using archival imagery.

EIA Land Use Mapping

Mandatory land use/land cover maps for Environmental Impact Assessment reports — prepared per MoEFCC guidelines for road, pipeline, industrial, and infrastructure projects.

Revenue & Cadastral Integration

Overlay of LULC data with revenue survey maps, cadastral records, and ROR data for land acquisition, corridor planning, and encroachment identification.

Classification System

LULC Classification Categories

We use NLC / NLCD aligned classification schemes with custom Level I, II, and III categories as per project requirements.

Agricultural Land
Built-Up / Urban
Dense Forest
Open Scrub / Shrub
Water Bodies

Fallow / Barren Land
Wasteland / Degraded
Our Approach

LULC Mapping Workflow

1
Image Acquisition

Select optimal satellite imagery based on season, cloud cover, and project scale.

2
Pre-Processing

Atmospheric correction, geometric rectification, and image mosaicking.

3
Classification

Supervised/unsupervised classification with training samples from field and imagery.

4
Ground Truthing

Field verification of classification at random sample points for accuracy assessment.

5
Map Production

Final cartographic output with accuracy matrix, area statistics, and GIS layers.

Applications

Who Benefits from Land Use Mapping?

Urban Development Authorities

AUDA, AMC, and Gujarat ULBs use LULC maps for master plan revision, development plan preparation, and land use zoning regulation.

Infrastructure Project Developers

Road, railway, pipeline, and power transmission project teams use LULC maps for alignment selection, RoU acquisition, and EIA studies.

Environmental Consultants

Baseline LULC mapping is a mandatory EIA component for Category A & B projects under the EP Act — accepted by Gujarat SEIAA and MoEFCC.

State Agriculture Departments

Seasonal crop mapping, command area delineation, and irrigation efficiency analysis for Gujarat's agricultural development programs.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Land Use Land Cover (LULC) mapping is the classification of the earth's surface into categories like agricultural land, built-up areas, forests, water bodies, and wasteland using satellite imagery, aerial photography, and field surveys with GIS tools.
We use Sentinel-2, Landsat 8/9, ResourceSat-2 (LISS-IV), Cartosat, and high-resolution commercial imagery (Pleiades, WorldView) depending on mapping scale and accuracy requirements.
Yes. Land use mapping is a mandatory component of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports under the Environment Protection Act and MoEFCC guidelines for infrastructure and industrial projects.
Yes. We perform multi-temporal LULC change detection analysis comparing historical imagery with current data to quantify land use transitions — critical for urban encroachment monitoring and environmental compliance.
We deliver LULC maps at scales from 1:250,000 down to 1:10,000 with classification accuracy typically exceeding 85% overall accuracy, validated through field ground-truth surveys.
