which committee has delineated<br />

the current land use zones, is<br />

taken and copied to the sub-folder<br />

named the ‘current land use’ in<br />

the village folder.<br />

• The photograph needs to be georeferenced.<br />

The raster can be easily<br />

geo-referenced using features<br />

from the boundary raster as done<br />

in the example above.<br />

SAVE THE FILE IN THE CURRENT<br />

LAND USE FOLDER AND NAME IT.<br />

current_land_use.shp<br />

• Once geo-referenced, the boundary<br />

layer should be copied. Right<br />

click on the boundary layer, click<br />

Save as. Now that the current_<br />
