Abstract

Advancement in geospatial techniques like remote sensing and GIS have facilitated the development and planning processes using spatial database approach. Database are generated following bottom to top hierarchy at different spatial scales i.e., micro level -village unit to meso level- state unit and up to macro level of country unit. Spatial database (SDA) with its unique characteristic of integrated map layouts with attributes tables has provided a better platform in framing the planning strategies with quick up gradation from time to time which facilitates to bring out both spatial as well as temporal variations in an easy and cost effective way. In present paper, an attempt has been made to generate SDA for assessing the existing spatial pattern of infrastructural development at inter-block level after selecting Chandauli district of Uttar Pradesh as a case study which is found helpful in rural infrastructure planning process.
