95 4.3 The Satellite Thematic Map As a test a land use change map of the "Kromme Rijn" Area based on satellite imagery was made according to the above mentioned method leading towards the "Satellite Thematic Map" of the "Kromme Rijn" Area. After the interpretation a final field check followed for a general control and to solve the last interpretation problems. A part of the final map is presented in figure 1. The topographic map 1:25.000 serves as a background. The map shows the changes in land use from 1980 to august 1984. For this, use was made of the most recent topographic map of 1985 which is based on aerial photography of 1980 and a Thematic Mapper image of august 22, 1984. The dotted and the hatched areas on the map indicate a change in land use which occurred between 1980 and 1984, while the symbols placed within the blank fields indicate a refinement in the land use in comparing to the Topographic Map. 5 CONCLUSIONS AND DISCUSSION From the above it can be concluded that satellite imagery provides a base for updating land use maps and actual land use mapping up to a scale of 1:25.000 by using Thematic Mapper imagery. Interpretation accuracy can be raised considerably by overlaying the satellite imagery with existing maps such as the topographic map. The Satellite Thematic Map provides a framework to present the information on satellite imagery in a user-friendly way which is accessible to a large user community. The Satellite Thematic Map forms a flexible way of presenting thematic information extracted from satellite imagery. The presentation of land use change was only one example. For instance mapping of natural vegetaton, vitality of forest, city growth and surface water are other applications. An other aspect of the Satellite Thematic Map concept is that in digital form, either a raster or a vector format, this kind of maps form a very suitable input for Geographical Information and Land Information Systems. One example is the combination of cadastral maps, with ownership and tax registrations and with actual land use information derived from satellite data. The panchromatic imagery of SPOT will enable many new applications for instance in town mapping and planning and more detailed inventories in rural regions for which the Satellite Thematic Map concept can form a useful tool for presentation. Therefore it is believed that the new generation of "high-resolution” remote sensing satellites will increase the number of applications drastically and will play a substantial role in the planning and management practices of land and water in the Netherlands and consequently in many of the industrialized and developing countries.
