land use planning methods, strategies and tools
These guidelines to Land use planning (LUP) in the development co-operation are the result of an intensive discussion process with competent partners in the Federal Ministry of Development Co-operation (BMZ), with the German Development Bank (KfW) and with colleagues in the planning and development department of GTZ. Valuable scientific and practical experience and contributions have been incorporated in these guidelines. Despite it specifies a technical standpoint the reader is enabled to form his or her own opinion. It describes the connection between LUP and other spatial and sectoral planning operations, it defines those participating in the planning process, it gives suggestions on how to carry out these processes in various types of projects and it demonstrates how the topic is incorporated in the macro-economic and social structures.

Prefeasibility and Geophysical Investigations, Garowe Town Water supply, Puntland State Somalia
Earth Water Ltd was commissioned by Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) Somalia to Carry out pre-feasibility geophysical and hydro geological investigations to determine the presence of an aquifer in the surroundings of Garowe town in the Nugal region of the Puntland State of North Eastern Somalia. The investigations were executed in a multi-step approach: I) Desk study 2) Field reconnaissance study 3) Data acquisition 4) Data analysis and reporting The Client requires detailed information on the availability of groundwater resources to be used for the development of a central water supply for Garowe town. The projected water demand for domestic consumption is in the order of 800 m3 /day. The objective of the present study is to assess the available groundwater, to recommend the best possible sites for further detailed investigations to develop a centralized weilfield for drilling of several boreholes, the required depth, expected yield and water quality. For this purpose all the available hydro geological information of the area has been analyzed and a geophysical survey carried out.

Land Tenure and Policy Issues in Land Use Planning
Land is the basis of human society because it provides food, water, energy, clothing and shelter. Land resources, however, are finite and becoming scarce in Africa and elsewhere. Problems of inappropriate land uses, population growth, over-exploitation of natural assets and environmental degradation are complex and long-term. They are exacerbated by their linkage with poverty, inequality and social conflicts because many people have inadequate access to land or to the benefits from its use. It is commonly agreed that tenure of land - and land policy in a broader context - is a fundamental variable in agrarian and rural development. Land tenure insecurity, associated with local political conflicts and gender inequality, for example can be a key factor in land degradation (The World Bank, Agenda 21,FAO).

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.
