Rapid and Participatory Rural Appraisal and Remote Sensing - notes for lecture/seminar at the National remote Sensing Agency, Hyderabad

Publication year: 
1990

R/PRA and remote sensing appear to be poles apart. The differences in their approaches are outlined (and contrasted in a table). The methodology of PRA is briefly introduced, and questions raised about PRA and remote sensing. Can PRA be of use to remote sensing? Can remote sensing be of use to PRA? The discussion of these questions concerns the appropriate source of knowledge; accessible visual forms; and the potential uses of aerial photographs in rural development and in participatory planning.

Interest groups: 
These notes may be of interest to those involved in using aerial photography and remote sensing techniques.
