L-04 land use characterisation of a selected study area in Somaliland
There is a growing concern over the degradation of natural and agro-ecosystems.In this case, land use studies form the basis for analysis of the causes leading to degradation of agro-ecosystem outputs, or deterioration of a natural ecosystem.This study combines the scientific research techniques of GIS and remote sensing as mapping tools, accompanied by ground observations involving site-specific semi structured interviews with local people familiar with the area and contact with local organizations.
The information generated can be used to assist in making wise choices about land use, determining where best to locate new settlements, cropping, drainage, irrigation, where and when to apply new technologies, to explain spatial and temporal variations in output, and to respond to many other questions about management, use and conservation of the natural
environment

L-02 Landform of selected study areas in Somaliland and Southern Somalia
A key outcome of this study is a new landform dataset for the selected areas of interest (AOI). The mapping of landforms was carried out at a semi detailed scale of 1:50 000 to 1:100 000 and currently constitutes the most recent, detailed and consistent dataset over large portions of the Somali territory. Landscape and relief were mapped through visual interpretation of satellite images combined with geomorphometry. The report contains two landform maps, one for each of the two study areas. The report can be used for natural resource inventory and management. It has potential applications in soil and land cover mapping and land suitability assessment.
