Gauging Agricultural Land-Use Decisions and Boundaries in Refugee Settlements in Uganda
REFNo: SS4159ES
This project seeks to 1) collect information on factors that influence agricultural land use decisions in refugee settlements in Uganda, and 2) estimate the boundary (the outermost extent) of agricultural lands accessed or managed by refugees. The first objective provides information on factors associated with cropland dynamics in refugee settlement. The second objective allows us to associate satellite-mapped cropland dynamics to specific refugee settlements.
This project follows the UNCST-approved research project, "Multi-sensor Mapping of Refugee Agricultural Land-Cover/Land-Use Change Hotspots in Uganda" (RefNo: A414ES), which sought to collect information on crop type and condition at refugee settlements for further satellite image analysis.
