Status: On-going

Duration: January 1, 2022 - December 31, 2024

Expected Output

  1.  Complete inventory of all MMSU resources with properly delineated and georeferenced boundaries; 
  2.  Detailed information on the ecological profile of MMSU resources leading to the generation of georeferenced thematic maps such as land use, different resources, land allocation for both present and future users in order to avoid land use overlaps or conflicts, and the different biophysical and socioeconomic attributes of these resources;
  3. . Integration of spatial and attribute data leading to the creation or generation of new information that can give better perspective and decision making to MMSU land use planners; 
  4.  Vulnerability and suitability maps for planning, management and decision making; 
  5.  Database readily accessible for further analysis and for reference of other users; 
  6. Complete final report which could be used or basis in developing IEC materials, procedural manual, internal policies and guidelines, and others.
