Agricultural Land use Mapping and Decision-Support in Australia
Land use information has a critical role to play in Australia in developing effective responses to national natural resource management issues involving carbon,water,productivity and sustainability—at national,regional and local levels.This calls for strategic and coordinated collation and delivery of land use information.This paper introduces the elements of a nationally coordinated land use mapping.program for Australia-the Australian Collaborative Land Use and Management Program (ACLUMP).Currently,major ACLUMP activities include national-scale and catchment-scale land use mapping,land management practices mapping and measuring and reporting change.A major challenge to the program includes making better use of new and improved national data streams (including statistical collections and remote sensing) and maintaining the currency of information for dynamic land uses.ACLUMP is also investing in developing the technical capacity for the spatial analysis of land use and land management issues and drivers of change.This includes a newly-developed spatial multi-criteria analysis tool — the Multi-Criteria Analysis Shell for Spatial Decision Support (MCAS-S).MCAS-S is designed to assist spatial priority setting,particularly in participatory processes and workshop situations.The tool provides for multiple map display,combination and manipulation of spatial data,and live update of changes-capabilities that enable clear visualisation of the relationships between the spatial data other constraints (including policy goals and stakeholder perspectives).
