Location
African Journal on Land Policy and Geospatial Sciences is a journal specialized in publishing research activities carried out in the field of geo-spatial sciences and land governance. It aims to encourage innovation, promote the exchange of knowledge and scientific outcomes related to its themes. The journal's target community is made-up of researchers, professors and professionals working in the newspaper field. The journal also aims to promote scientific articles and productions at the African, regional and global levels. The institutions as well as the international universities will enrich by their contribution the scientific level of the journal. The journal can, among other things, deal with professional themes and good practices in the field of land governance.

Displaying 86 - 90 of 433Determination Of Optimal Antenna Height And Mask Angle Of Global Positioning System (Gps) Receiver For Point Positioning
Global Position System (GPS) receivers are capable of surveying measurement with geodetic positioning accuracy. They are designed to be mounted on a tripod usually with a tribrach and set up for observations with assigned mask angle and height of antenna above the survey marks. Assignation of inaccurate mask angle and height of antenna, during observations, is undoubtedly the most prevalent and frequent biases in GPS set up during control surveying which usually leads to less accurate geodetic positioning.
Drone And Gis Technologies In Collective Land ‘’Melkisation’’ Process
The context of the contribution of drone technology and GIS in the production of deliverables recommended by the Directorate of Rural Affairs in Morocco, by supporting the community land melkisation project, which aims to mobilize 1 million hectares of land for investment. The aim of this column, in collaboration with a surveying company, is to highlight the workflow of collecting data by drones as well as developing a process for providing deliverables in the framework of the melkisation process in Morocco.
Map Conflation Using Piecewise Linear Rubber-Sheeting Transformation Between Layout And As-Built Plans In Kumasi Metropolis.
Context and backgroundAccurately integrating different geospatial data sets remain a challenging task because diverse geospatial data may have different accuracy levels and formats. Surveyors may typically create several arbitrary coordinate systems at local scales, which could lead to a variety of coordinate datasets causing such data to remain unconsolidated and in-homogeneous.Methodology:In this study, a piecewise rubber-sheeting conflation or geometric correction approach is used to accomplish transformations between such a pair of data for accurate data integration.
Gouvernance Foncière Et Respect Des Us, Coutumes Et De La Tradition Au Mali : Cas De La Commune Du Mandé
Context and backgroundThis study focuses on land governance in Mali, particularly customary land in rural areas because of its importance in the development of agriculture, which occupies more than 80% of the population. The Malian State has undertaken reforms in order to secure customary land through their recognition and confirmation. Our study, through a systemic analysis of documentary data and field surveys, consisted in listing these reforms in order to see how they take into account socio-cultural realities. How are these measures perceived by local people? What are their effects?
Land And Culture As Symbols Of Remembrance, Ancestry, Rituals And Initiations The Case Of Kihamba, Kyungu And Kifunyi Among The Chagga Of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
Kyungu[1] and Kifunyi[2] are revered places for any Chagga family. It is located within a Chagga Kihamba and is believed to be the origin or first settlement of the clan, marked by the presence of a significant tree and traditional Chagga sacred plant—isale. Within the Kyungu and Kifunyi landscapes, one finds a scatter of material remains, including potsherds, bones, bottles and pieces of clothes. These material cultures and local narratives signify spiritual practices, rituals and remembrance ceremonies around the Kyungu and Kifunyi area.
