Presumption of a direct causal link between formalisation of property rights
and economic productivity is back on the international development agenda.
Belief in such a direct causal relationship had been abandoned in the early
1990s, following four decades of land tenure reform experiments that failed to
produce the anticipated efficiency results. The work of Hernando de Soto has
provided the springboard for this revival. De Soto argues that formal property
rights hold the key to poverty reduction by unlocking the capital potential of

Kenya has a wealth of wetland ecosystems that support diverse and unique habitats. These wetlands provide numerous ecological goods and services but are under tremendous stress due to rapid urbanization, industrialization and agricultural intensification; manifested by the shrinkage in their areal extent, and decline in the hydrological, economic and ecological functions they perform. Yala swamp, the largest fresh water wetland in Kenya measuring about 17,500 ha supports a large biodiversity and is a source of livelihoods to communities around it.

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 -

Most of our semi-arid land is threatened with increased land deterioration due to
changes in land use especially in areas where soils have sealing properties which
hinder infiltration of rain- water. The study was carried out in Kibwezi Division,
Machakos District, a distance of 220 km. from Nairobi. It was designed to investigate
major causes of land deterioration following human settlement around 1963 and low
cost measures of reversing it.
The experiment was designed to investigate whether slashing bush and spreading -

A Case Study of Athi River area, Nairobi
Rapports et recherchesmars, 2008KenyaThis study addresses certain aspects of data modeling with respect to Geographic
information systems (GIS). The primary objective of this project is an attempt to
develop an automated Land Information Management System (LIMS). In Kenya today,
land information is held mostly in paper form, managed manually and even the paper
records themselves are not optimally organized. The process of retrieving and
disseminating this information is inefficient, time consuming and cannot support timely
decision making. -

The problem of vegetation degradation in Kenya's semi-arid areas must be addressed, if these areas are to support the increasing human and livestock population. However, efforts to rcvcgctatc denuded rangelands will be beneficial only if the right species and cultural practices arc employed.

Agriculture is the backbone of the Kenyan economy contributing 26% to GDP and 70% to
employment. Majority of the farmers in Kenya are smallholder farmers possessing less than 3
acres of land. The agricultural sector in Kenya has been facing several challenges among them
declining yields. While the decline in yields could be associated with several other factors, it
could also be as a result of the effect of insecure land tenure systems which are little understood.
This study examines the technical efficiency of alternative land tenure systems among -

Ruiru subcounty has witnessed increased changes from its initial agricultural land use to a more urbanized residential and commercial land use. These land-use and land-cover changes affect directly and indirectly the environment, economy and society at Ruiru subcounty, Kiambu county and Kenya in general. Although their impacts have been recognized long ago, it‟s only a few years back that they became a cause of countrywide concern.

Characterizing soil erosion hazard and its spatial variability is critical for maintaining
user confidence in planning soil- and water- conservation programmes and general
land-use management. Predicting the average rates of soil erosion for a combination
of specific soil and land-use types is vital. This is because such predictions form a
basis for providing guidelines for effective erosion control.
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the erosion effects of alternative
