evaluation of landscape sustainability in India. In whole process of model development the joint endeavors need to be made by the scientists of various research groups.
This will lay down the stepping stones for long-term interdisciplinary landscape
research and certainly enhance the understanding of mutual interests desired for
integrated interdisciplinary environmental related scientific research between the
countries and of course in viewpoint global climate dilemma.
The research results need to be disseminated among the different stakeholders
(i.e. people/gender; government bodies/decentralized systems; non governmental
organizations/community based organizations/community based social organizations; experts etc.) while organizing workshop/s at various study regions chosen for
the study related to climate change. Finally researchers and policy makers need to
be informed for the detailed discussion on the research results. Concurrently final
research results can be processed in the form of report, books and research articles
for the quick diffusion of the research findings and reference for upcoming studies
in the field of climate and land use change.
14 Expected Outcomes
• Database on land use land cover change and important driving factors.
• Documentation of TEK and peoples’ experiences about the pattern of climate
change and its impact on forest, agriculture, livestock and humans.
• To plan possible adaptation measures for vulnerability to climate change
towards sustainable landscape development and socioeconomic upliftment of
the rural people.
• Effect of climate on seasonal variability and reliability and climate extremes
affecting agriculture production, forestry and water resources at micro level.
• Simulation models explaining the changes due to change in climate and information enabling sustainable development strategies for policy formulation and
designing and developing the sound database for future research and policy
intervention.
• Catalogue of adapted land use management systems and socio-economic
development.
• Identification of areas/themes for further research.
15 Approaches/Methodologies for Primary and Secondary
Data Collection
Methods in brief for data collection are summarized below. The details of field data
collection, data collection from secondary sources (census hand books, statistical
reports) and analysis, remote sensing data analysis and spatiotemporal analysis
