Over a number of years, geographers from Högskolan Dalarna (HDa) have been working on a method to map, analyse and present elements in landscapes through fieldwork with handheld computers and using GIS-technology (Geographical Information Systems) in combination with interviews at household level. The last few years we have applied the method in East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda) in a co-operation with VI Agroforestry Programme (VI AFP). This report aims at drawing together the experiences from this cooperation.
