Beijing, 1 Jan -- The Ministry of Natural Resources recently issued the "Notice on Coordinating and Standardizing Satellite Remote Sensing Monitoring for Cultivated Land Protection" (hereinafter referred to as the "Circular"). The "Notice" requires that the competent departments of natural resources at all levels should not only fully understand the important supporting role of satellite remote sensing (referred to as "Wei Pian") monitoring in strengthening the protection of cultivated land, and give full play to their technical advantages, but also realize that the changes in cultivated land found by Wei Pian monitoring only provide clues to the problem, and cannot be directly used as the basis for administrative punishment.
According to reports, in recent years, modern information technology such as satellite remote sensing has played an important role in the dynamic monitoring and supervision of cultivated land protection, land survey, and auxiliary land supervision and law enforcement. However, in actual work, there are problems such as insufficient co-ordination, too high frequency, and more verification and evidence in the monitoring map of health films, and there are still phenomena such as simplification of work, "one-size-fits-all", and layer by layer. In order to effectively solve such problems, the Ministry of Natural Resources has coordinated and standardized the monitoring of cultivated land protection and sanitation films. The "Notice" requires an accurate understanding of the positioning and role of health monitoring in cultivated land protection. Sanitary film monitoring is an auxiliary tool to grasp the changes of cultivated land in a timely manner, a technical means to monitor and warn of unreasonable outflow of cultivated land, and an auxiliary method to quickly find clues to the problem of illegal occupation of cultivated land.
The Ministry of Natural Resources will integrate the current work of supporting the protection of cultivated land in the first half of the year, such as land type change monitoring, annual land change survey, and land sanitation law enforcement, and coordinate the monitoring tasks involved into quarterly sanitation monitoring and annual sanitation monitoring (national land use dynamic full coverage remote sensing monitoring), and the monitoring map patches will be adjusted from multi-frequency issuance to quarterly distribution.
