LADA Argentina Team
“LUS map”
Workshop, Pretoria – South Africa
16 – 18 September 2008

2. Objetive
Define the Land Use System like a tool for the assessment and monitoring of desertification and land degradation.

3. Framework
Identification the possible situations that could be associate to different levels of risk of desertification.
Monitoring the changes that could be indicate an increase en the erosive activities

4. Methodology Upload and established by LADA during the life project
Generals consideration
Upload and established by LADA during the life project
The final methodology it is not define yet.
Its objective is complement the GLADA development.

5. Methodology Based originally in maps and global data bases.
Generals considerations
Based originally in maps and global data bases.
Could be upload with local data respect the methodology propose.
Resolution: 5 arc min.
Average surface for pixel: 7200 ha.

Steps for the LUS construction
Put all the maps together
Reclassification
Rename the categories results

18. LUS Regional Validation
LADA needs to evaluate a validate the LUS to know its state.
We should generate an strategy for the evaluation for the LUS and his attributes.

19. Strategies for the LUS validation
Direct evaluation for the LUS.
Attributes revision.
Critics point identificated during the construction.

20. LUS Critical Points
Resolution: each pixel represent the “dominant” system within the 7200 ha.
Date for de data base: it is asynchrony multi-temporal since 2000 to 2007.
Veracity from the individual components: quality from data and distribution.
Construction methodology: limits from the classes.
