Resumen Este artículo presenta los pasos metodológicos para el análisis histórico del uso del suelo usando sistemas geográficos de información, SIG, y sensores remotos, SR. Así mismo, muestra la aplicación de estas técnicas a un estudio de caso para la producción de herramientas digitales que puedan servir para planear y administrar zonas agrícolas de una forma eficiente y sostenible. En el estudio se describe como fotos aéreas de 1973 a 2001, y una imagen de satélite, fueron usadas para generar mapas básicos, mapas de cambio de uso del suelo, así como de unidades administrativas agrícolas. En este estudio se muestra como los mapas y tablas además de otros análisis generados con los sistemas SIG-SR se convierten en una importante estructura analítica para la toma de decisiones en el sector rural. Palabras clave: Uso del suelo, planificación rural, SIG, sostenibilidad   Abstract This paper discusses the use of geographic information systems, GIS, supported by remote sensing, RS, data as an important tool in the day to day decision making process on agriculture areas. The study is used to demonstrate how historical aerial photographs and a satellite image from 1973 to 2001 were used to produce land use, and land use change maps as well as maps of agriculture units for the study area that are later used for planning purposes of agriculture activities. The paper summarizes the methodological steps followed in the GIS analysis and the way that GIS-RS systems can be used in rural areas to plan and to manage day to day activities in agriculture areas under the philosophy of sustainable agriculture.

The Land Use Planning (LUP-Neraca Penatagunaan Tanah/NPGT) is a balance between land availability and the needs of tenure, use and utilization of land according to the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) function area. LUP is arranged sectorally and regionally. Examples of sectoral LUP are rice field planning and plantation field planning. While regional LUP is arranged at a certain administrative level. So far LUP has been prepared based on zones/ regions that are adjusted to the RTRW functions area. The LUP at the sub-district administrative level began to be initiated and to be implemented after almost all of district/ city LUPs were implemented. Sub-district LUP was supported by the availability of the Subdistrict Spatial Detail Plan (RDTR) on a 1:5.000 scale which became a reference in the permittance of space utilization, so that the subdistrict LUP was arranged on the same scale. In this paper an assessment of sub-district LUP was made based on the Parcels Map (PBT) that available in the land office. PBT displays land parcels based on land ownership and land tenure. LUP is carried out in urban areas and rural areas. Location of urban areas in Mantrijeron Sub-District, Yogyakarta City, while rural areas in Bambanglipuro Sub-District.The stages of sub-district LUP consist of : data collection/ inventory; processing and analysis of data; and compilation of results and discussion. The data collection/ inventory phase includes activities for preparing work maps and collecting primary data and supporting data. The processing and analysis stage includes data processing on sub-district LUP compilation with GIS application (ArcGIS) and LUP analysis. LUP analysis consists of : analysis of land use changes, analysis of land use suitability and analysis of land availability. The stage of result preparation and discussion includes the preparation of the result of the analysis, a comparison between two regions that were studied, conclusions and recommendations. The result of the parcels-based sub-district LUP shows that land tenure and ownership information is very detailed; the information of land use and utilization in one parcel of land can consist of more than one type. In urban areas, the size of land parcels is relatively small with more varied types of land use and utilization than rural areas. As a note, that the coverage of parcels map in rural areas still needs to be improved because there are still empty areas.

Abandoned Land

The rational use of land should be ensured, soil-friendly agricultural branches should be developed as well as attractive environment for work, living and resting in the countryside should be created in promoting rural development in Lithuania. Areas with favourable natural conditions have a high degree of economic activity, farm size, and economic development. However, not everywhere the natural conditions for the development of agriculture are favourable. The research was carried out in the Giedraičiai rural area of Molėtai district, which deals with the factors influencing the use of land, the declared area of land, the problem of land abandonment. The methods of legal analysis, analysis of literature, analysis, comparison and aggregation of statistical data were used during the research. After the fulfilment of the analysis of the declared area of land during the period between the years 2012 and 2016, it was established that the area of agricultural land declared during the five years increased by 655 hectares, the number of farmers who declared agricultural land decreased by 104, and the number of declared parcels declined even to 1729. The process of the growing of farms is likely to occur. The area of abandoned land in Giedraičiai subdistrict reaches 300 hectares, the number of abandoned areas exceeds 800. Estimating the statistical data and solutions of the general plan of the Molėtai district area preliminary solutions for the management of the territory of the Giedraičiai subdistrict for agriculture and rural development are being provided, i.e. it is planned to implement rural development land use planning projects for the management of farms, and to select a farmhouse farm site. To reduce the abandoned land areas, it is advisable to plan forests, expand the areas of meadows and natural pastures, apply organic farming and adapt the areas for recreation.

Careful Management

Interest in non-urban areas in the Netherlands has greatly increased. This necessitates careful management, especially in rural areas which are affected by the influence of urbanization. Knowledge of the local situation is increasingly important. These trends have had a considerable impact on the development of land use planning and policy. The number of computerized information systems for geographic information has increased considerably. New techniques have been developed to collect and present geographic information, by means of digitizing maps and the use of drawing machines in direct communication with computers. The paper discusses the requirements of geographic information systems with special attention to linking of geographic data and flexible output. Finally, some developments in land use management are presented. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)

Heterogeneous Societies

Land use conflicts are complex disputes that contribute at large in terms of negative social and economic impacts within the heterogeneous societies. The mechanisms of success for land use conflict resolution still need further research because of various mindsets of the people. In this paper, the issues of land conflicts between farmers and pastoralists in Tanzania mainland which could lead to low economic development are reviewed and the general causes and effects of land use conflicts are outlined. Poor land governance, inappropriate of land use plans, inadequate land policies, land tenure insecurity, corruption and population increases are cited as being among of the main offenders fuelling land use conflicts in Tanzania. As pastoralists move across the country with large herds of hungry livestock in search of pastures and water, the livestock are randomly led into farms where they forage on whatever crops that may be in sight. Angered farm owners (farmers) often take the law into their hands and fight the invaders. Armed fights erupt resulting to human and livestock deaths, destruction of crops and homesteads, fear and poverty.Since a National Land Policy (NLP) is a key instrument for, among other things, land management and administration, land use planning, conflict resolution, and a stable land tenure security, both the countrywide lack of land use plans in the rural areas, and the (now) outdated National Land Policy of 1995 are brought in focus in line with the recurring land conflicts between farmers and pastoralists.The paper provides the case of how Mediation-Arbitration (MED-ARB) approach can be used in solving land conflicts between farmers and pastoralists. Based on the various studies that have been undertaken and the recommendations made on this issue, the authors propose MED-ARB as the optimal way to put in place sustainable curative measures of land conflicts

Urban Land Use

Urbanization process has a significant impact on land use planning. It not only affects major cities but also extends to small towns in rural areas where it has a significant role in providing urban services to rural communities. The expansion of urban areas also resulted in the loss of many agricultural lands as well as forests that are rich in natural resources. In both instances, the land use composition is substantially affected. This study uses a "mixed method approach" combining GIS spatial analysis and AHP technique to study land use changes, identify land use growth parameters, determine land use growth suitability areas and identify the direction of urban land use development. The study area is the town of Pendang, which is the main administrative centre for Pendang District, Kedah. The main findings of the study show that changes were not that significant during the period between 2005 to 2012. However, significant land use changes occurred during the period of 2012 to 2020, especially in agricultural land use, vacant land and even water bodies. These land use changes have contributed to the increase in built-up areas. The direction of development is seen heading north, south and southwest of the study area. Accessibility is a major factor influencing the growth of land use and development direction in the study area.
