1. The document discusses the role of geo-informatics, which includes remote sensing and GIS, in land use/land cover studies. 2. Remote sensing provides synoptic and multi-temporal land use/land cover data to study changes over time, while GIS provides a platform for analyzing, updating, and retrieving the data. 3. Together, remote sensing and GIS are useful tools for investigating and mapping land use/land cover patterns at various scales, and for monitoring changes in a time-saving and accurate manner.
