A Land Information Management System (LIMS) is an information system that enables the capture, management, and analysis of geographically referenced land-related data in order to produce land information for decision-making in land administration and management. The system is a Geospatial Information System (GIS) driven for the purposes of handling and managing parcel based information. The Republic of Kenya, located in East Africa, ranks 33rd in the world in terms of population with 38.6 million people and has a land area of 224,081 square miles.

Key findings:
"There is no landlessness in the village
and the shifting cultivation land is divided
equitably for farming. However,
there is the concern that part of their
shifting cultivation area has been classified
as reserved forests by MOECAF. So
this land could possibly be granted by
government to businesses.
The villagers did not apply for titles during
the latest land registration process.
The community does not wish for private
land registration even on terraces
Key findings:
"There is no landlessness in the village
and the land is shared equitably. The
land cannot be sold and belongs to the
community. It is the basis of their livelihood and the future of their children.
The forest outside community forest area in Myay Latt territory is being logged
by outsiders. The villagers tried to tackle
illegal logging but due to corruption and
lack of law enforcement, this is still increasing. Recognition of these customary forest areas and of the community's
good practices is important so that the
... Myanmar’s forest and timber sector has been central to the country’s economy and society, particularly over the last century. Since the colonial era, timber has been a major export revenue earner to Burma/Myanmar and thus subject to much political debate (Bryant 1996).
