TCP dept to digitise Regional Plan in 6-8 months
Panaji: To integrate the state's planning data into the PM Gati Shakti State Master Plan, the town and country planning (TCP) department has moved to digitise the Regional Plan of Goa (RP), 2021. It hopes to create GIS-compatible maps of the state within six to eight months, for which it has budgeted approximately Rs 50 lakh. The department also wants the digitised maps to have layers that show the land that was converted under Section 39(A) and Section 17(2) of the TCP Act. Additional layers such as roads, water bodies, and infrastructure may also have to be included, said TCP department officials. The Gati Shakti master plan is a national initiative aimed at mapping and improving infrastructure and logistical planning across the country. After collecting maps of the original RP2021 from the TCP department, the consultant will review and organise them to ensure all relevant data is present. Meanwhile, a three-member consultancy evaluation and review committee (CERC) will monitor the work and cross-check GIS data with original map documents to ensure that land use is not tweaked. The committee will be headed by the chief town planner (planning). 'A comprehensive verification process will be implemented. The work will be monitored and reviewed to ensure proper land use coding,' said an official.

Regional Plan 2021 to be georeferenced for Gati Shakti integration
Panaji: State govt on Tuesday decided to transform maps of the existing non-georeferenced Regional Plan of Goa (RP), 2021, into georeferenced raster and vector formats for integration into the PM Gati Shakti State Master Plan. The master plan is a national initiative aimed at transforming infrastructure and logistical planning across the country. Georeferencing involves the aligning of satellite imagery or other types of maps with real-world geographic coordinates. Maps in the raster format are composed of pixels, while those in the vector format are defined by mathematical equations that describe lines, curves and shapes. Goa govt will appoint a consultant who will georeference and digitise the RP 2021, incorporating the suggestions and inputs provided during the course of preparation, and as may be required as per the town and country planning (TCP) department. The TCP department has recognised a critical need to convert existing non-georeferenced PDFs and AutoCAD files of RP 2021 into georeferenced datasets. Maps will be georeferenced using data from the land survey department as reference points. The georeferenced maps will undergo strict quality control to ensure that the raster data perfectly corresponds to the land survey data. GIS thematic maps will be generated from the digitised data, with an expected accuracy of 0.25mm. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

'Special attention will be given to ensuring consistency between spatial data and attribute data,' the official said. The consultant will ensure that all steps in the project undergo rigorous quality control to ensure the data is accurate, reliable, and meets the specified standards. 'To maintain high data quality and ensure that the final outputs align with the expectations of the TCP department, a comprehensive verification process will be implemented,' the official said.
