6. Chapter 2: Traditional Ways of Land Resource Management Traditional ways of Land Resource Management in China: Measure length by rope in ancient times, measuring tape and some other instruments in modern times. Draw pictures on paper by hand using rulers and pens. Keep paper files only to manage land rights and collect land tax. Traditional engineering methods for land developing and reclamation. …… It has a lot disadvantages: Time delay Easy to forge related information Unsustainable …… Henan Polytechnic UniversitySurveying and Mapping Engineering

7. Chapter 3: Modern Ways of Land Resource Management Apply new technologies (especially GIS) in land resource management. GIS has been applied in many aspects of land resource management: (1) Land Monitoring and Regulation (2) Land Use Planning (3) Land Evaluation …… Henan Polytechnic UniversitySurveying and Mapping Engineering

8. Chapter 3: Modern Ways of Land Resource Management Modern ways of Land Resource Management in China: Obtain data by RS and sophisticated instruments nowadays. Draw pictures on computers. Storage and process spatial information by certain software on computers. Show in 2D and 3D. Keep digital files and paper files at the same time. Modern engineering methods for land resource protecting, developing and reclamation. …… Henan Polytechnic UniversitySurveying and Mapping Engineering

9. Chapter 3: Modern Ways of Land Resource Management It has many advantages: Real-Time Difficult to forge related information More sustainable than before …… It also has many disadvantages now: Difficult to get the correct information of every detail (because of low resolution, confusion of interpret spectrum and many other reasons). …… It still has a lot to improve. In the future, it will improve in many aspects. Henan Polytechnic UniversitySurveying and Mapping Engineering
