Environmental Effects of Urban Traffic - A case study of Jaipur City
Data Used and Methodology
The Survey of India topographical sheets (45N/13 and 45N/9 ) surveyed in 1971 on 1:50,000 scale and guide map of Jaipur city on 1:25,000 scale surveyed in 1971 were used for preparing the base maps. IRS-1C geocoded LISS-III FCC of 14 April 1998 on 1:50,000 scale and IRS-1C geocoded PAN data of 12 March 1998 on 1:25,000 scale were visually interpreted for making the existing landuse and arterial road network map (Figure 1 & 2) Field verification survey was carried out to check the interpretation accuracy and to collect secondary data on traffic, pollution and population density (Figure 3). The maps were digitized and incorporated within GIS domain (ArcInfo and ILWIS ), for creating thematic layers like landuse, road network, ward-wise population density and calculating length of roads and areas of various landuses.’
