INTRODUCTION METODOLOGY IMPLEMENTATION OF LRISPLAN IMPLEMENTATION OF LRISPLAN Regional Project FAO - GCP/RLA/126/JPN “Land and water Information for Sustainable Agriculture Development” THEMES

INTRODUCTION THE PROJECT OBJECTIVES ARE: IMPROVE INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY IN THE PARTICIPATING COUNTRIES FOR NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION; CARRY OUT AN AGROECOLOGICAL - ECONOMICAL LAND PRODUCTIVITY POTENTIAL EVALUATION AND PROVIDE INFORMATION FOR LAND USE PLANING; STRENGTHEN TECHNICAL CAPACITY IN NATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN INFORMATION MANAGEMENT.

METHODOLOGY DATA/INFORMATION CREATE SPATIAL ANALYSIS UNITS Stratification of the physical space and population, using the variables defined according to the study objectives. This process of spatialization of the information is mainly based on the concept of Ecologic Economic Zoning developed by FAO (1997) and adapted to local conditions and needs by the project. The process is called Definition of Analysis Units

METHODOLOGY DATA/INFORMATION CREATE SPATIAL ANALYSIS UNITS EVALUATION OF LAND SUITABILITY by UNIT Following delineation and characterisation of the analysis units bio-physical suitability and socio- econonomic viability of each unit are determined using the FAO methodology of land evaluation (1976, 1994), generating a matrix of suitabilities and related information for each of the selected land utilization types in all the analysis units.

METHODOLOGY DATA/INFORMATION CREATE SPATIAL ANALYSIS UNITS EVALUATION OF LAND SUITABILITY BY UNIT GENERATING SCENARIOS Upon determination of large number of land use types arranged in a suitability matrix, it is possible to generate various scenarios according to predetermined objectives. Scenarios are generated on the basis of procedures which introduce changes in the initial suitability matrix generating new matrices in an iterative process which produce a process of optimization of use according to the set criteria and restrictions

METHODOLOGY DATA/INFORMATION CREATE SPATIAL ANALYSIS UNITS EVALUATION OF LAND SUITABILITY BY UNIT GENERATING SCENARIOS PRESENTATION OF RESULTS Finally all the results from the analysis are organized in integrated information base in a GIS. The information base will be used to support the negociation process for land use decisions. In this way an LRISPLAN is created with the final objective of providing information to support the land use planning process NEGOCIATION SCENARIOS
