Executive Summary : | Spatial analytics form critical part of understanding the patterns of governance investments, done through creation of development assets, especially in rural areas through flagship projects such as WDC-PMKSY, GEOMGNREGA and RKVY. Scale of the database is of the order Diversity of assets covering various aspects such as soil and water conservation, planting activity, developing fallow lands, flood control measures etc needs to be comprehended, in terms of spatial and temporal implementation as well as asset durability. Intrinsic patterns of asset database, need to be furnished through open source based online tools, addressing various stakeholders to realize the worth of or gaps in data, in turn to be used for future planning and maintenance of assets. Developing a pilot understanding of interaction of various spatial themes ranging from land use land cover to climate change themes is also essential to assess asset durability. In view of this requirement, development of open source based analytic framework needs to be developed and placed through bhuvan for consistent and clear rendition, feedback collection as well as quality flagging of information. The framework should address standard spatial analytical approaches covering spatial relations of assets within and across above mentioned themes, envelope based overlays of multiscale nature, creation of quality flags with respect to average data abundance/quality especially in a regionalized context. Open source tools such as R connected to web based processes through python programming need to be explored for design and development of the analytic product. Process adopted need to be furnished, as easy to comprehend capacity building module, so as to strengthen User Ministry stakeholders for long term utilization and internalization of technological approach in open source based spatial analytics. |
