Investigation on Tideland Reclamation Projects in North Korea using Satellite Image Data

인공위성 화상자료를 이용한 북한의 간척자원 조사

The purpose of this study is to investigate on tideland recalamation project as a part of situation on farm land improvement measures in North Korea. By using satelite image data beyond the national boundaries, it makes possbile to analyze tideland reclamation projects, and owing to the developed software and procedure we can analyze data regardless of difference in data acquistion date. Satellite image data LANDSAT JEARS-1 data are mainly used, and analyzing software ER Mapper, ERDAS , IDRISI are used . Reclamation survey result made by the ministry of unification in 1994 were examined by means of remote sensing using satellite image data. The results are ; Completed and/or partly completed project are 24, 596ha and planned are about 142, 223 ha, 166, 819 ha in total. However, they already reported about 300 thousand ha would be reclamined from the sea in early 1980.
