Role of geo-spatial information management as a decision support tool in land use planning : a case of Ghana
Twumasi, Yaw A.
In the developing countries, lack of data covering most land use and land cover especially in Africa have necessitated the need to develop an information management to cover most of these important land resources. This paper highlights the importance of using geo-spatial information systems as tools to managing natural resources in Ghana. It uses historical data from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), and topographical data to demonstrate how management could use these data as decision-support tools for natural resources management.
