FAO/UNEP Workshop on Integrated Planning and Management of Land Resources

Integrated land-use planning (ILUP) is a prerequisite for the sustainable management and development of land resources. This approach seeks to meet this objective by a better balancing of all relevant aspects (biophysical, technical, socio-economic, legal, institutional and social) in land-use planning. In particular, it stresses the importance of engaging the stakeholders and recognizing their different objectives through a platform for negotiationoutlining the characteristics of an enabling institutional and policy environment at local, sub-national, and national levelsensuring an accessible knowledge baseand providing a set of planning procedures. The guidelines which were the topic of this workshop are intended to be used by professional and technical practitioners of land-use planning and land resource management at national, subnational and village levels.

Remote Sensing of tropical regions

(Extract from the preface)The principal purpose of this book is to demonstrate the unique capabilities of modern remote sensing instruments for the observation and monitoring of such complicated natural zones as the tropics. The aim of the first part of the book is to substantiate the scientific rationale for low latitude studies (Chapter 1) and to consider the subject of low latitude processes and their interactions with global climate change. Emphasis has been laid on the specific features of low latitude conditions, such as tropical cyclones (Chapter 2), the mesoscale tropical systems (Chapter 3), the dynamic ocean features in tropical parts of ocean (Chapter 4), the temperature and humidity structure of the tropical atmosphere (Chapter 5).

Terminology for Intergrated Resources Planning and Management

All terms defined and explained in the glossary are included in an alphabetical list. An index helps to find a particular term easily and gives an overview of the terms included. Very often descriptive text, related terms, synonyms and antonyms are given in addition to the proper definition to help the reader to understand the term in its context and practical use. Sources have been specified for all the definitions or different parts of a definition and the descriptive text. The definition given is the one preferred and commonly used by FAO. Whenever useful or necessary, a general or basic definition has been added to a term which is defined for the purpose of integrated resource planning and management or related subjects. Where no agreement has been yet reached or definitions vary significantly from each other, more than one definition has been listed.
