Exploring the Potentials of a Gis-based Street Addressing System in the Management of Land Rates. Case Study: Machakos Town
A study on street addressing system reveals that there are several benefits associated with the system. In fact, it is one of the most feasible systematic efficient approaches for managing properties and locating places. A sizeable sample of planning authorities in developed countries have applied successfully street addressing to manage cities, towns and urban areas.
Securing Community Ownership and Control of Land Rightsin Kenya: Opportunities and Challenges
Ownership, use and management of land are highly emotive issues in Kenya and were one of the key drivers of the push for a new constitution. In fact going back in history, this was the main reason for the fight for independence. The general aim of the research was to show that the Kenyan people in their constituent power have perceived land as more than just property which readily converts to market value with relevant injuries being recompensed conclusively with awards of damages. The Constitution of Kenya 2010 sets out governing principles on land policy.
Effect of agricultural practices on water quality in Ndakaini Dam, gatanga, Muranga, County, Kenya
Change in Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) is inevitable and accuracy and time are important
to detect the change in different seasons to monitor trends and status of water quality.
Understanding LULC and Water Quality Parameters (WQP) is necessary for efficient water
management and reduction of operation water treatment cost. Therefore, the effect of
agricultural land uses on water quality in Ndakaini, Gatanga, Muranga County, the LULC and
WQP were analyzed using Remote Sensing (RS), Geographical Information System (GIS) and

In rangeland settings, resources, patterns of use of those resources, and the institutions for managing the resources exist at multiple levels and scales.
