Muthatha Ramanathan: Tracing Spatial Technology in the Rural Development Landscape of South India
This study critically examines the increasing use of a new suite of technologies, remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS), for planning in the natural resource management (NRM)-based rural development sector in India. The key question is: how is this emerging paradigm altering the nature and content of NRM-based rural development in India? The study borrows from an interdisciplinary theoretical framework that draws from Science and Technology Studies (STS) and Critical Development Geography (CDG) to research an NGO's use of these technologies to facilitate development in a cluster of villages in Raichur, Karnataka.
