Abstract
The area surveyed covers the land of Tapuwae Incorporated in Te Taitokerau, Aotearoa/New Zealand. As part of a rapidly changing landscape, Hokianga’s changing natural and ecological characteristics require significant spatially relevant information to inform proper management and effective plans for the preservation and enhancement of the area’s biological, social, cultural, and economic treasures. The changes in the landscape that impact features of the area underpin the need to build a geographic information system (GIS) that provides information including highly detailed imagery of the existing land cover and geological features, landcover and vegetation characteristics.
This mahi is aimed at developing detailed imagery for the description and characterisation of land cover providing relevant information and knowledge of the landscape. Flying a drone with high resolution imagery and processing in a GIS (Geographic Information System) resulted in maps of the area that allow one to closely visualize details of the ground and 3D models that allow interaction with the imagery. This report covers the results of a drone survey conducted on the 10-12th July and a follow-up flight on 21st - 23rd of September 2020. Highlights of the results refer to the maps developed and a detailed technical report at the end of the figures is included.
