Abstract

This study presents the results from an experiment conducted in two peri-urban areas of Northern Ghana using Participatory GIS (PGIS) to identify land tenure and use rights on customary and statutory lands. P-Mapping was used to uncover indigenous knowledge on the changes in land ownership, land use rights and land-use types over ten years. The paper finds that properly trained local people can reliably delineate and indicate land rights and land uses in their environment on photomaps with little support from professionals. The experiment results show that PGIS can accelerate land adjudication processes on customary lands.

参与式地理信息系统在习惯土地裁决过程中的作用试验

本研究介绍了在加纳北部两个城市周边地区进行的一项实验的结果，该实验使用参与式地理信息系统（PGIS）来确定习惯和法定土地的土地保有权和使用权。P-Mapping用于揭示土著人对十年来土地所有权、土地使用权和土地使用类型变化的了解。论文发现，受过适当培训的当地人可以在几乎没有专业人员支持的情况下，在照片地图上可靠地描绘和指示他们环境中的土地权利和土地用途。实验结果表明，PGIS可以加速传统土地上的土地裁决过程。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
