Résumé partiel
With the introduction of participatory approaches in development programs, it has become essential for planners to build and implement land use strategies based on the objectives, perceptions and knowledge of local people. Despite the richness of participatory rural appraisal (PRA) information used in the planning process, efficient geographic information gathering and relevant spatial analytical tools necessary to support the negotiation among the stakeholders are lacking. Besides, methods are needed to allow a harmonious integration between the local participatory and regional planning, so as to impulse a bottom land use planning process. It was the aim of this study to develop a method for a rational integration of local participatory land use planning and regional planning for sustainable resources management. It combined participatory land use planning methods based on participatory rural appraisal, with technical methods using geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing. It was based on a case study of a participatory land use planning implemented in the province of Houet in South-western Burkina Faso.
