These results reflect the particular needs of these sub-regions, that is in the case of South Asia the need to provide water for village communities, and the large tropical forests of the other sub-regions which are currently being exploited. Here the desire of sub-regional governments to balance the needs 53 of the economy: with «the: needs 5of . the environment, have led to a greater use of remote sensing tools. Examining the percentage of total papers it is clearly seen that land cover, land use and land management comprise the greatest application area of the region. It can be suggested that the high percentage of papers in this application area reflects the intense pressure on land due to the very high population and population densities found in the region. While it is obviously not possible to describe all of the operational applications of remote sensing in the region, a number of examples of different applications in different parts of the region will be highlighted. In India a major project has been the preparation of forest change detection maps for the entire country using satellite data of the period from 1972 to 1975 and from. 1982 „to. 1985. ‚Since. .ihen. the. forest cover of the whole country has been monitored biennially. Studies have also been carried out over selected areas for mapping forest types, for biomass assessment and for monitoring forest plantations. Satellite remote sensing has also been operational used in India for identifying prospective ground water zones to enable ground water exploitation. More than 200,000 boreholes have been drilled using this data, with a success rate of over 90% compared to 45% using conventional methods (Remote Sensing Newsletter, 10, 3), . The eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in June of 1991 showed the operational utility of using remote sensing and GIS for damage assessment, rehabilitation and development planning activities. Oblique and vertical photography as well as video images were initially used to delineate and map the various areas affected by ashfall and mudflow. Shortly after the eruption MOS-MESSR imagery was acquired and was used to determine the amount and extent of vegetation loss and land cover change in the affected area. A mudflow and siltation risk map for a worse- case scenario was also generated using a combination of aerial photographs, satellite imagery and ground truth data. A physical, socioeconomic and environmental database has been established for the Mt. Pinatubo area, as well as the establishment of a system for updating information in the region. Both optical and radar image data is currently being used to provide update information as mudflows are, even; now, still . active. (Remote .; Sensing Newsletter, 10, 3). In Vietnam satellite remotely sensed images have been used for land form mapping. One project used visual interpretation of Landsat International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.
