Land resources information systems in the Near East

Countries of the Near East vary in the type, quantity and format of the inventories of their land resources. Quite often, these data are sporadic, incomplete, out of date or based on diverse systems of land and soil classification and mapping. There is a need for the establishment of a user-friendly database on land and water resources for each country, to be easily available at the desktop of land use planners and decision makers. This document contains the proceedings of a regional workshop held in Cairo from 3 to 7 September 2001. Land resources information systems experiences in the countries are presented, as well as recommendations for future collaboration in database development, reporting and exchange of information, expertise and experiences in land and water management in the region and the implementation of regional projects.--Publisher's description.
