conservation of biodiversity in protected areas will be more challenging if local communities are heavily dependent on them for various products and subsistence needs. this study estimated forest dependency and identified factors influencing dependency for households living around kasane forest reserve (kfr). data collected from 237 households were analyzed using logistic regression model. logi...

Botswana recently embarked on an effort to improve its National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). This paper takes an example of the country’s effort to improve information for land administration and the problems this effort has had because of a poor spatial data infrastructure. It then discussed how the current effort is likely to have impact on the organization of information for land mana...
