Application of GIS & Remote Sensing in Formulating a Management Plan in Keibul Lamjao National Park, Manipur Result: The approach of the plan envisages two tier strategy; appropriate habitat management is the most crucial aspect for the long term conversation of Sangai and secondly the management of the phumdi. The delineation and demarcation of KLNP is required to work out a phase wise management plan. The various thematic maps are generated from 1991, 1993, 1995 and 1998 (fig.5-8) to assess the temporal changes in the extent of phumdi (fig.9). The physiographic aspects are studied by satellite data and SOI toposheets (fig.1). The location of all the existing machans are the nucleus along which the various boundaries are based in the park (fig.3). The GIS analysis deciphers the various eco sensitive zones for the protection of the habitat (fig.11&12). The traditional landuse practices adopted by the villagers have also been considered in the analysis (fig.13). Finally, a zonation map along with various boundaries is generated by considering the various socio-economic aspects (Appendices) for a long term management of the park.
