General Introduction
Precise and evidence based balance among economicdevelopment, sustainable use of natural resources andenvironmental conservation is of fundamental importance.
A common approach‐ Ensuring accurate geospatial and socio‐economic data by software tools to produce valid and relevantspatial plans.
National and regional land use management/zoning plans‐Ensuring the National development goals and objectives.
Landscape scale zoning ‐ first planning step‐ precedes moredetailed spatial planning.
Government of Myanmar ‐in the process of promoting effectiveland use planning and refining the zoning methodologies insupport of its National Land Use Policy formulation.
This presentation will introduce : The emerging approach to zoning for land use management

Over 100 national races-Different culture, custom andtraditions related to land uses
Total population- 51 millions (2014 census)
Land related issues are the most critical
The Government of Myanmar recognizes to
deal with Land for:
Land use administration;
Land tenure security and Land use Rights;
Land dispute resolution;
Foreign investment;
Sustainable economic growth;
effective environmental protection;
Social harmonization.

Background on Pilot Study
2013 April IMG / EU participated at LUASC workshop.
Uncertainty raised on precision of data on land usereported by the survey.
RS based method proposed using Rapideye data.
August 2013 – started pilot RS/GIS study forTaungoo, Thayarwaddy and Bago Districts.
December 2013- finished land use mapping ofTaungoo
January 2014- Field verification
February 2014- Consultation meeting for zoning

Main Three Stages of Pilot Study
I. Prepare baseline data on LULC for directplanning at district level,
II. Demonstration of a decision support tool indistrict level land management planning andland use zoning,
III. Public consultation in land use planning andzoning.

Summary of RS Work in District Level Land Use Mapping
Total 92 Rapideye images acquired during April 2013were used.
Images processed using a mix of automaticclassification (Segmentation by using ENVI) andmanual interpretation (in ArcGIS) .
22 LULC classes were identified. Reference to Landsat 1999, 2003 for historical land
use information. New Landsat 8 data were used to resolve inaccuracies
caused by seasonal effects. Using of Google Earth.
