Evaluation Of Various Aspects Of Land Management Software

By Jaclyn Hurley


There are different aspects of the sustainable use of the various natural resources. The management and the planning of how these resources ought to be used is commonly done by the use land management software. This is specially developed system that employs the use of knowledge-based applications to collect and integrate the various types of data. The integration automates the planning for resources once the various parameters about the resources in question have been made available during data entry.

Environmental data differs greatly. This depends on the types of soils that are in question and the current uses. If for instance, pieces of farmlands are being used for agriculture some data can be collected. The fertility of the soils is used as basis on which the expected output can be estimated. This is compared with the actual output from such lands. The two pieces of data are compared for optimum productivity to be determined.

There are very many interconnected chains in the environment around us. The chains come from the various relationships that exist between different kinds of organisms. Data is collected about the biodiversity is used as a measure of analyzing these chains. The maximum capacity of organisms that pieces of land can hold largely depends on fertility. This then determines the type of organisms that can be supported by such environments. The data collected helps the researchers work on the relationships of these chains.

Once the data collected from the field trips has been categorized, it is prepared for input into various computer systems. The classification makes is easy for the analysis. Similar categories are grouped together and then the data entry follows. Data types determine the processes that will have to be used for processing of such pieces of data. Information is produced and this is used for decision making.

Some of lands are very dry. The soils here could be fertile or infertile depending on the underlying rocks that weathered. The samples of soils taken are analyzed for the moisture and fertility levels. The results of these tests determine how the pieces of land will be used. The infertile areas can be used for the construction of industries while the fertile ones are used for farming.

Environmental analysis and management is governed by some codes of regulations. These regulations are drafted y a group of researchers with an aim of guiding the process of analysis. Most of the regulations are in the form of thresholds which gauge the level of measures. These thresholds determine the type of decisions that are to be made after the researches.

The population has been growing a very high rate in most parts of the world. The high growth is putting immense pressure on the available resources. Human beings are encroaching on reserved lands as they look for places to settle and farm. This may create conflict between several organisms. The studies focus on reduction of such conflicts.

The relationship between the environment and the human beings is very complex. This gets even more complicated as the completion for available resources gets tough. There is a need for analysis of how the relationship between various groups of living things. This can only be done by collection and analysis of data.
