    Om inzicht te krijgen in de behoefte aan geo-informatie over het functioneel bodemgebruik onder potentiële gebruikers is een ondersteunend beslismiddel ontworpen. Het betreft een zogenaamde kaartenwaaier, die zowel op papier als op internet beschikbaar is gemaakt. De indeling van de kaartenwaaier is gestructureerd rond de invalshoek, de basisgeometrie en de functiegroep (of kaartlaag) en gaat uit van de bestaande basisgeometrieën LGN, TOP10-vector en CBS-bodemstatistiek.

    Kenya

    Preliminary findings on the effects of land use in the Masinga Dam catchment, Kenya, on the storage capacity of the reservoir are presented. Remote sensing and GIS techniques, supplemented with ground reports, were used to determine areas most susceptible to erosion. A representative catchment was then chosen for rainy season monitoring of soil loss, river suspended sediments and discharge response to rainfall. In addition, Gerlach-type traps were used to evaluate erosion rates under different crop covers and slope gradients.

    Bij steeds meer beleid en wetgeving spelen regelingen een rol die betrekking hebben op individuele percelen. Voor de uitvoering en evaluatie van deze regelingen bestaat er daarom grote behoefte aan perceelsgebonden informatie. Om een efficiënte verzameling, opslag en verwerking van deze informatie mogelijk te maken speelt geografische vastlegging van de grenzen van percelen een belangrijke rol.

    The increasing popularity of geographical information systems (GIS) has at least three major implications for land resources survey. Firstly, GIS allows alternative and richer representation of spatial phenomena than is possible with the traditional paper map. Secondly, digital technology has improved the accessibility of ancillary data, such as digital elevation models and remotely sensed imagery, and the possibilities of incorporating these into target database production.

    Thailand

    The analysis of `ambiguous lands' and the people who inhabit them is most revealing for understanding environmental deterioration in Thailand. `Ambiguous lands' are those which are legally owned by the state, but are used and cultivated by local people. Land with an ambiguous property status attracts many different actors: villagers hungry for unoccupied arable lands in the frontiers; government departments looking for new project sites; and conservation agencies searching for new areas to be protected.

    This paper examines the current wave of land tenure reform in eastern and southern Africa. It discusses how far tenure reform reflects a shift in powers over property from centre to periphery. A central question is whether tenure reform is designed to deliver to rural smallholders greater security of tenure and greater control over the regulation and transfer of these rights.Policy conclusions include:
