Guidelines in the preparation of Forest Land Use Plan (FLUP) Thematic Mapping

This booklet is part of a series of resource materials produced by the EcoGovernance Project to guide local government units in fullfilinf the mapping requirements in the formulation of the forest land use plan (FLUP). This particular booklet focuses on thematic mapping. It intends to clarify the data neede dto properly assess forestland conditions, issues and opportunities and propose appropriate land uses for an LGU's forestlands.
Although many advances in mapping such as computerized mapping and GIS are now accesible, many of the LGUs still adop manual methods in making maps and analyzing spatial data. This guide booklet was conceptualized with theses resource limited LGUs in mind. Some of the discussion in the guidebook may specifically address there LGUs' needs, but will be equally useful to the LGUs with GIS facilities who wish to prepare their FLUP.
This guidebook also intends to address the need to improve mapping practices among draftsmen and cartographers employed in the local governments. A section of the guidebook indicates current standards or conventions in map making in the Philippines.
