TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined land use and land cover (LULC) change and implications to biodiversity in the Owabi catchment of Atwima Nwabiagya North District in Ghana from 1991 to 2021 using remote sensing, and geographic information systems (GIS), with participatory methods such as interviews and questionnaires with a sample size of 200 participants.
TL;DR: In this article , the results from an experiment conducted in two peri-urban areas of Northern Ghana using Participatory GIS (PGIS) to identify land tenure and use rights on customary and statutory lands were presented.
Abstract: This study presents the results from an experiment conducted in two peri-urban areas of Northern Ghana using Participatory GIS (PGIS) to identify land tenure and use rights on customary and statutory lands. P-Mapping was used to uncover indigenous knowledge on the changes in land ownership, land use rights and land-use types over ten years. The paper finds that properly trained local people can reliably delineate and indicate land rights and land uses in their environment on photomaps with little support from professionals. The experiment results show that PGIS can accelerate land adjudication processes on customary lands.
TL;DR: In this paper , the relevant data of land parcels from land register and cadastral map were integrated using high resolution satellite imagery through GIS technology and the methodology showed positive results with more precise, manageable, updatable, and future friendly output as compared to the existing manual techniques.
Abstract: Land is an important resource to human and it has direct or indirect role for their food, shelter and living. Land management system plays a vital role in keeping related records to facilitate the act of timely decision for better wellbeing of any society. In Pakistan, the existing land management system is in manual form resulting a lot of social problems in the form of land disputes and also arising as a serious hurdle in the economic growth of the country. In this study, a new technique is developed for land management system in Pakistan using remote sensing and GIS technologies. The relevant data of land parcels from land register and cadastral map were integrated using high resolution satellite imagery through GIS technology. The methodology showed positive results with more precise, manageable, updatable, and future friendly output as compared to the existing manual techniques. This also proved that satellite imagery can be effectively used an alternative for field surveys to prepare cadastral maps with less time and cost.
