Vision :
Haryana Forest Policy document 2006 has envisioned that a strong Management
Information System (MIS) should be developed in the Forest Department. MIS/GIS
(Geographical Information System) should be
set up for forest mapping for effective management of forest areas.
The Proposal :
The present endeavor of development of MIS/GIS in Haryana Forest Department is not
to replace any conventional interventions of tree plantations, field protection
of forest resources or ongoing forestry research activities but to strengthen
our planning and management capabilities with availability of effective decision
support system in problem solving MIS/GIS environment. The forest department has
voluminous data of forest resources in form of maps and scripts. These maps are
old and often poorly drawn without any geo-referencing. Any data loses its
usability, if it is not properly analyzed or interpreted. The proposed
computerization of available data in GIS environment promises easy retrieval,
analysis and interpretation with user based query support. The geographical
distribution of forest resources and ongoing forestry operations may be best
understood and appreciated in maps. These maps are best managed in GIS
environment. The GIS will not only facilitate in replacing the process of making
, revising, using and managing the unwieldy conventional hardcopy of maps but
will also make them user friendly, intelligent and responsive to queries in
graphical interface. A mere mouse click on any feature in graphic
instantaneously opens the complete list of attributes of that feature. Similarly
an attribute based query immediately highlights the feature meeting those
criteria and hence can be well understood in spatial context.
Objectives :
- The primary objective of the introduction of Geomatics in Haryana Forest Department
(HFD) is to manage
huge amount of spatial and non-spatial forest resources data in user-friendly
problem solving environment for efficient Planning and Monitoring.
- To explore the potential of RS & GIS for better forest resource management by under taking
Research & Development Activities.
- To make RS & GIS integral to decision making process at all levels in department.
- To enhance the utility of existing database and generate further reliable data for
the different wings of the Haryana Forest Department.
- Integrating MIS with GIS through development of Forest Management Information System.
