Résumé du livre
The proceedings consist of the edited papers and workshop summaries from the Monitoring for Change Workshop sponsored by the Lands Directorate. The overall objective of the Workshop was to strengthen and enhance the land-monitoring contribution to the prevention and resolution of land-use conflicts. Three major themes are addressed including the role of monitoring in the prevention and resolution of land-related issues, methods and techniques for land-use change and degradation monitoring through the use of conventional air photography, satellite imagery, municipal assessment records and geographic information systems, and the significance of cooperation in resolving land-related problems and the means by which this cooperation can be enhanced.
