Mouza Map Digitization

The Government of Bangladesh launched the “Mouza and Plot-Based National Digital Land Zoning Project” with the help of Synesis IT to establish a digital land management system, ensuring sustainable and efficient land utilization.

Introduction to the Project

Synesis IT developed a comprehensive geo-database by digitizing Mauza maps, leveraging advanced GIS and CAD software. The digitized system categorizes land based on socio-economic, environmental, and agricultural factors, enabling informed land management decisions. The process involved precise geo-referencing, edge matching, and ground truthing to ensure the accuracy and utility of the maps for land zoning.
