The book explores the application of remote sensing data in monitoring land use changes, crucial for urban and rural development and natural resource management. It emphasizes the creation of land use classification maps that enhance the selection of areas for agriculture, urbanization, and industry. Through satellite imagery and field checks, the study categorizes land use in the area and analyzes its changes, highlighting the significance of land as a vital resource for human development. Remote sensing and GIS techniques are central to this research.

This book demonstrates how GIS techniques and statistical methods can be used to emphasise the characteristics of population and its related variables, vis-à-vis care facilities and the status of vector borne diseases, as well as for malaria modeling. Concentrating on the Varanasi district of India, the main aim of the book is to determine and map the density areas of vector borne diseases using GIS techniques. The book explores how health GIS is an important sub-discipline of health science and medical geography, which is traditionally focused on the spatial aspects of disease ecology and health care facility analysis.
