LINK TO PAPER Boundary Dispute Settlement Using Mobile GIS Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Jeroen Verplanke, Mike McCall Boundary disputes in Tanzania are occurring because of land tenure insecurity. Settling disputes is necessary to enable land use planning at the village level as required by the national planning authorities. Visualization of boundaries, with a PDA running ArcPad, aids villagers in understanding the extent and importance of various boundary disputes concerning their land and resources. Including these visualizations in participatory group discussions between conflicting parties in Tanzania has illustrated this. Villagers indicated that through these tools they are able to focus better on pressing disputes which enables them to solve disputes more easily.

متن کاملDeveloping Countries and General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade/World Trade Organization Dispute Settlement
It has long been observed that developing countries made scant use of dispute settlement under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Less clear are the reasons for this.
