Abstract
A study was carried out by the Department of Space to identify alterna te sites to relocate the earthquake-affected villages of Latur and Osm anabad districts of Maharashtra, using Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS)-1B date in conjunction with collateral and field data. Maximum damages have been observed in the zone of major lineaments and around their intersections. A map on 1:50,000 scale showing alternate sites f or relocating the affected villages was prepared by integrating inform ation derived from satellite, collateral and field data and the same w as provided to the Government of Maharashtra.
