Abstract

The approaches to natural resources management have evolved. Disparities in their adoption are likely to produce a long-lasting negative impact on the resources and the livelihood security of the community depending on them. The use of geoinformation by the local community is a critical measure to the sustainability of its resources. Nonetheless, the application of geoinformation technologies to the community-based natural resources for the tourism industry is highly unknown. This chapter reviewed the application of geoinformation technology to the management of community-based natural resources in the Pangani District of Northern Tanzania. It considers how geoinformation technology is used in the management of tourism activities for community development. Specifically, the chapter discusses community developments resulting from that as well as challenges associated with the use of geographical information systems and remote sensing technologies. The chapter concludes with key recommendations for improving those challenges.

地理信息技术在坦桑尼亚北部社区自然资源旅游开发管理中的应用

自然资源管理的方法已经发展。在采用这些技术方面的差异很可能对依赖这些技术的社区的资源和生计安全产生长期的负面影响。当地社区对地理信息的使用是其资源可持续性的关键措施。然而，将地理信息技术应用于以社区为基础的旅游业自然资源方面的情况还非常不清楚。本章审查了地理信息技术在坦桑尼亚北部潘加尼地区社区自然资源管理中的应用。它考虑了如何在社区发展的旅游活动管理中使用地理信息技术。具体来说，本章讨论了由此产生的社区发展，以及与使用地理信息系统和遥感技术有关的挑战。本章最后提出了改善这些挑战的关键建议。
