11 Land use, indicates how people are using the land, Land cover, is the surface cover on the ground, whether vegetation, urban infrastructure, water, bare soil or other. Land use / Land Cover Map is: Is one of the fundamental datasets that are used by many sectors such as: Agriculture, Water, Forest, Environment, etc. Need to be produced at various scale for various applications i It is dynamic and need to be updated in a regular manner
12 Data: Tools: Medium Resolution E.g. MODIS, ENVISAT, etc High Resolution E.g. Landsat, CIBERS, IRS, etc Very High Resolution E.g. QuickBird, Aerial Photographs Field data for validation Processingg software, hardware and established land use land cover classes Knowledge/ skills : g / Data processing and interpretation knowledge Field data collection and validation knowledge
13 1. Global Scale: Globe Cover (ESA, JRC, et. al.) Land cover from MODIS 2. Regional Scale: Africover for eastern African countries 3. National Scale: Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Sudan, Namibia, Zambia 4. Local or ecosystem scale: Mau, Loita, etc.
14 A. Global and Continental Mapping Initiatives
15
16 JRC coordinated effort for land cover mapping: Land cover must be measured, land availability & suitability calculated, trends and history of change established.
17 Measuring change Angola 2000 Angola 1975
18 Systematic sampling strategy (Global + National)
19 Cover change 50,000 km 2 of natural vegetation converted to agriculture every year since the 1970s 50% increase But population has doubled
20 Africover - Eastern Africa Module B. Regional Scale Mapping: Africover initiative: The only existing regional mapping project specifically set up to fill the identified gap of absence of baseline homogeneous information on natural resources at a detailed d level. l New approach: Multi-Purpose Africover Database for Environmental resources (MADE) What it is: a set of detailed/homogeneous land cover and environmental information that can be used by a large community of specific end-users. Why: because this database is functional to the new database management trends, it reduces costs and improves efficiency at local, national and regional levels.
21 Africover - Eastern Africa Module From the concept to the practical application: - a set of new dedicated tools is developed that are explained below- Land Cover Classification System (LCCS) is a new concept of land cover classification system that is flexible, able to describe any type of land cover feature in the world, at any scale or level of detail, in a standardized di d manner. It provides a common language to bridge users and existing systems. Africover Interpretation and Mapping System (AIMS) is a new concept of on-screen interpretation software that combines the advantages of the digital automated classification and traditional visual interpretation in a synergetic way. It improves the interactive use of ancillary data and any other type data.
22 Africover - Eastern Africa Module Project facts: Countries that are at present participating to the project: Egypt, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Eritrea Total project area: 8.5 millions km 2 Cost of the project per square Kilometre: 064USD/km National Experts under training: 42 persons

42 Funding: No enough budget is allocated for lu/lc mapping at national scale, It is not priority area for donor funding as well, Capacity : National institutions do not have the required technological capacity for processing large volume of data There are no sufficient Remote Sensing skills/ knowledge in the countries Validation: Is very a important and must do process, but, very expensive and challenging Institutional arrangements: Join efforts of different national and international ti institutions Methodology and guidelines: No clear methodology and standard for national lu/lc mapping
43 Funding: Create awareness at national, regional and international levels so that the necessary priority is given and funding is made available, Capacity : Short term term tailor made trainings are prepared and provided to mapping professionals in the countries, Efficient and effective data processing technologies need to be developed and made available, Clear standards, methodologies and guidelines need to be developed and made available for use, Validation: Share existing field validation data, Make enough resources available for systematic validation of global and continental products, Institutional arrangements: Join efforts of different national and international institutions Add on what is existing instead of repeating the same,
