چکیده
The following presentation of a Mapping Project is giving an outline of measures, undertaken in order to support the Tanzanian RESOURCE PROTECTION AND BUFFERZONE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME which aims at the management of the conservation of biotopes and natural resources in seven reserve areas. The methodological approach included satellite data procurement, processing and analysis, flight campaign (colour infra red and black/white aerial images), DEM processing, slope/aspect analysis, production of ortho-corrected aerial photographs and image maps, interpretation of aerial photographs and satellite imagery, field survey, GIS data base design and generation and training of local experts in all related fields. As a main result, the projects have been provided with thematic maps at different scales showing agroecological zones, the present state of vegetation and land use, land use changes over the past, erosion, soil types and erodability. Additionally, all information collected during the mapping activities were supplied in digital format and after installation of the respective hardand software implemented as a fully operational GIS. * Corresponding author.
