This paper reviews the need for a new land administration vision that takes a more integrated approach rather than the historic fragmented approach and examines change management of land administration and cadastral systems in the context of global drivers of change. This results in the development of a framework for re-engineering land administration systems. After discussing a land administra...

The practicalities of a modern land administration system require some means of boundary adjustment (or repair). Of the possible mechanisms it is concluded that an alternative to adverse possession, statutory encroachment, is preferable to part parcel adverse possession.

The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that there is a need for information on aspects of propagation likely to affect terrestrial land mobile services, recommends 1 that the information contained in Annex 1 be taken into account in the design and planning of such services. 1 Introduction This Recommendation provides information on various aspects of propagation which are likely to...

It is well known that unsupervised classification of a single polarized SAR image is accomplished mainly by two steps i.e., (i) Clustering the SAR image into groups or clusters on the basis of backscattering coefficient and textures present in SAR image, and (ii) Labeling the various clusters in their respective class (For example, land cover types such as water, urban, agriculture or any other...

provides guidance on the application of environmental economics, and specifically the analysis and valuation of ecosystem services, to analyze the costs of land degradation and the benefits of sustainable land management. The Toolkit is intended to assist technicians and decision makers in their analysis of land degradation and land management policy options. The Toolkit has been prepared in pa...

Due to the use of antimicrobials in livestock production, residual antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) could enter the environment following the land application of animal wastes and could further contaminate surface and groundwater. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of various manure land application methods on the fate and transport of antimicrobials...

This study analyses social, economic and political ‘lock-ins’ for understanding community resilience and land degradation. The study focuses on lock-ins from within communities, using four case study communities in Italy affected by land degradation. The analysis highlights the complex interrelationships between various lock-ins, and suggests that the communities are on pathways of declining re...
