Abstract
 Geospatial Technology Application for Tugi Village Land Use Planning Concept Track: Environmental Management Author(s): Njohjam Naburo, Agnes Eneme Emade, Vera Nzang Akain Over time, there have been landuse conflict in Tugi village as it is in any part of the world. In order to protect and manage the environment, Tugi village has put in place a rural land use planning committee with an objective to develop a sustainable landuse plan for natural resources management. Land use planning is the systematic assessment of land and water potential, economic and social conditions in order to select and adopt the best land use options that will best meet the needs of people today while safeguarding resources for the future generations. Environmental Resource Trust (EReT) Cameroon, the main local NGO working with this committee is using remote sensing and GIS in mapping the past and present landuse of the study area. ArcView is used for spatial analysis and the results will be a GIS based sustainable landuse plan for the village community.
