Abstract

Micro-level resource mapping and planning using geo-spatial technology hold significant importance in various fields, ranging from agricultural and crop development, rural development and environmental management to disaster response and public health. Here are some key aspects highlighting the significance of micro-level resource mapping and planning with geo-spatial technology. This research focuses on employing geo-spatial technology at the micro-level to map resources for sustainable rural development. The case study investigates Sarvan village in Goa, utilizing primary data from GPS surveys and secondary data from Google Earth Mapping, QGIS, and SAGA software. The study emphasizes the role of technology in understanding and managing diverse resources for holistic and sustainable rural development. The focus is on environmental, economic, and socio-cultural sustainability, emphasizing utility services and land-use patterns. The findings reveal the impact of urbanization on rural identity, economic shifts, and environmental changes, prompting recommendations for sustainable land-use planning and Agro-tourism development.
