The Land Use Planning, GIS & Environmental Study department plays a key role in integrated land resource management. It conducts soil and land use surveys, environmental impact assessments, forest inventory, and watershed management studies. This department also utilizes Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for land cover mapping and spatial analysis to support strategic land use planning. Its activities extend to socioeconomic studies, rangeland and livestock development, and identifying potential for agricultural and environmental investment projects. By combining scientific research with practical field data, it ensures that development initiatives are environmentally sound, socially responsible, and economically viable.
