MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641051530 A) filed by Sr University, Warangal, Telangana, on April 22, for 'an intelligent geo-spatial system for eco-tourism resource mapping and sustainable destination assessment in north telangana districts.'
Inventor(s) include M. Janardhan; and M. Rajyalaxmi.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses an intelligent geo-spatial system for eco-tourism resource mapping and sustainable destination assessment in North Telangana districts. The system is designed to study the origin and development of eco-tourism and to trace the potential of eco-tourism destinations using advanced geographic information systems, remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and predictive analytics. It integrates heterogeneous datasets including ecological resources, biodiversity indicators, cultural heritage assets, terrain characteristics, climate variables, and socio-economic factors to create a comprehensive spatial database for analysis.A geo-spatial analytics engine processes multi-layered spatial data to identify and classify eco-tourism resources such as forests, waterfalls, wildlife habitats, reservoirs, and tribal cultural landscapes. Machine learning models evaluate destination suitability by generating sustainability scores, ecological sensitivity indices, and carrying capacity estimates. Predictive analytics further support scenario-based planning and risk assessment for long-term sustainable development.The system incorporates edge and cloud computing architectures to enable real-time data processing, scalability, and efficient resource utilization. Interactive GIS-based dashboards provide spatial visualization, hotspot identification, and decision-support tools for policymakers and tourism authorities. Additionally, adaptive learning mechanisms continuously refine predictions and improve analytical accuracy.Overall, the invention provides a robust, scalable, and intelligent framework for scientific eco-tourism planning, conservation management, and sustainable destination development in North Telangana districts."
