Use of remote sensing for land use policy formulation
The author has identified the following significant results. By utilizing remote sensing techniques, it was possible to accurately inventory a relatively large area for sand mining impact on protection and management of shoreland dunes within a limited time period and at a relatively low cost. Analysis of two sample areas selected from the Grand Mere area after prohibition of off-road-vehicle use indicated an increase in vegetation regrowth of 8.52% for sample area 1 and of 4.44% for sample area 2.

Improved resource use decisions and actions through remote sensing
Remote sensing was applied to the varied needs of government agencies and private organizations for the purpose of assisting decision makers that were responsible for actions concerning resource users. Seven case situations are presented.

Use of remote sensing for land use policy formulation
The use of remotely sensed data for eliminating abuses and mismanagement of land and water resources in Michigan is discussed. Applications discussed include inventory of mosquito breeding sites; analysis of biomass in old field ecosystems used for wastewater recycling; areas for agricultural use; and preservation of the Grand Mere Dune environment. Services to users are described and contact activities reported.

Use of remote sensing for land use policy formulation
Uses of remote sensing imagery were investigated based on exploring and evaluating the capability and reliability of all kinds of imagery for improving decision making on issues of land use at all scales of governmental administration. Emphasis was placed on applications to solving immediate problems confronting public agencies and private organizations. Resulting applications of remote sensing use by public agencies, public organizations, and related private corporations are described.

Improved resource use decisions and actions through remote sensing
Operational uses of remote sensing for improving management decisions and actions concerning resource uses are considered in terms of first generation, or direct-action; and second generation or indirect, delayed-action applications. From among applications completed during 1974-75, seven case studies are offered in illustration of the many contrasts which can be drawn between first and second generation application studies. These include: (1) multi-agency river basin planning; (2) corridor assessment and route location for highway location together with improvement of county-level planning decisions; (3) improving timber management practices; (4) enforcement of new state statutes; (5) county-wide open space preservation; (6) land value reappraisal relative to property tax equalization; and (7) optimizing agri-business processing plant locations.
