Abstract
In many developing countnes, llmitlng factors for development of sustalnable production systems Include varlabll~ty In agroecologlcal and soclo-econom~c cond~tlons, poor access to gec-referenced data and lnformatlon, and poor relatlonshlp between the civil soclety, researchers and decls~on makers Working wlth Interactwe Development Scenarios (IDS) models may provlde a way to plan (agr~cultural)d evelopment Thls tool can Integrate results of vanous methods that asslst In land use plannlng Nlne methods are bnefly discussed and evaluated All methods depend on reliable baslc data, but many drsplay Inadequate plannlng procedures, statlc approaches and neglect of soclo-economlc aspects Therefore, an alternative methodology "Land Use Systems Analysls (LUSA)" 1s belng presented It alms to cover the successful management of resources to satisfy changlng human needs wlthout degrading the envlronment or the natural resource base Components and the functlonlng of land use systems are analysed In flve steps, In an ~nterdlsclpllnaryw ay, to glve quantlfled and clear altematlve land use optlons on different scales Based on thls approach, ICRISAT has started In 1996 a joint research project based on thls approach with NARS In Mall. Burkina Faso and Nlger, entitled "Exploltlng multi-scale varlablllty of land use systems to Improve natural resource management In the Sudano-Sahellan zone of West Afnca (MUSCLUS)" Four levels of scale are dlstlngulshed agro-ecological zone, dlstnct, village land, and household Its goals and expected outputs are presented In thls paper
