Abstract

Accurate identification of resources and proper planning are the most critical factors for management of natural resources. In this study, in order to fulfill proper planning, I compared 3 approaches namely: GIS, RANGELAND MANAGEMENT PLANs and INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE of rangeland exploiters in order to identify best sites for RANGELAND IMPROVEMENT and development projects in JASHLOOBAR rangeland in Mahdishahr Township– Semnan Province.At the end, the degree of accordance among these three methods was determined and the best approach for proper management of rangelands was offered. In this connection, different layers of information such as slope, altitude, soil, vegetation, rangeland condition and trend, etc were laid in GIS and finally, by integrating principal guidelines into RANGELAND MANAGEMENT PLANs, final maps were produced. I also studied the maps demarcating the sites of RANGELAND IMPROVEMENT and development projects of different pastoral units. After desk studies, I visited the pastoral units and filled the questionnaire about rangeland and exploiter with the exploiters of each pastoral unit. Eventually, it indicated that the formulated projects for pastoral units (rangeland management plans) did not comply with the potentials of rangelands and more attention should be paid during developing of RANGELAND MANAGEMENT PLANs. It also suggested that some of the projects should be reviewed. I also noticed that exploiter's view somewhat differs from the potentials of rangeland or they express their views favoring some special objectives. Thus, they should have some training in this regards. The results imply that application of GIS associated with accurate data from rangeland can help experts in identification of proper and efficient rangeland development and improvement projects and thus speed up the rehabilitation process.
