Abstract :
This research focused on the Role of GIS
Technologies in Mapping Land Use Planning and
Management in Ntarama Sector, presents the
applications of Geo-informatics System in three different
land-use planning (LUP) approaches. The main objective
of this research was assessing the role GIS technologies
can play in mapping land use planning and management
in Ntarama sector of Bugesera District. The methods
used here was reposed to the analysis of previous
researchers, reports provided by different stakeholders;
my own field observation and conducted interviews.
Besides, GIS technologies have been used for geo
processing and spatial analysis. All have been aiming to
collect two types of data; qualitative and quantitative
such as primary and secondary data, with the purpose of
gathering all information concerning the research topic.
Stratified sampling technique has been used by
conducting interviews to good information providers.
Around 68% of the whole respondent appreciates GIS
technologies as the best tool in land management. The
participatory land use planning (PLUP), which strongly
considers local people perceptions for land utilizations,
the guidelines for LUP enhanced with multi-criteria
evaluation and land-use planning and analysis system
(LUPAS) using interactive multiple-goal linear
programming. In this research, there are three main
objectives: First, to provide an introduction to
geographical information technology along with an
historical perspective on the evolving role of GIS in
planning, secondary is to overview relevant methods and
techniques for GIS-based land-use suitability mapping
and modeling, and last one is to identify the trends,
challenges and prospects of GIS-based land-use
suitability analysis. Briefly, we strongly confirm that GIS
plays an important role in the successful of these LUP
approaches. Land use suitability assessment using GIS
technologies should be a key determinant in any urban
and suburban planning and decision-making process.
