Abstract

The rapid advancement in UAV drone technology has paved the way for their widespread application in urban and rural environments. The field of urban /rural planning is one of the many areas in city life where “Unmanned Aerial Vehicles” (UAVs) and drones could find use. Compared to traditional surveying selections, drones may provide planners a more accurate, precise, flexible, and economical means of obtaining information. To maximize the public benefit from the use of ‘UAV drone technology’ in town planning, town planners and surveyors require flexible, practical drone regulations that address the several concerns adjacent the use of UAVs in urban spaces. The present study uses and applies ‘Remote Sensing Technologies’ and ‘Unmanned Aerial Vehicles’ for rural development in Papua New Guinea, with a focus on the Nomad District Planning in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea. The work aims to inspect the potential of remote sensing & UAVs in addressing the challenges faced by rural societies in terms of natural resource management, land-use planning, and infrastructure development. The study commences by providing an outline of the current state of rural development in Papua New Guinea and importance the specific issues faced by the Nomad District.
