Territory map showing different layers:
scope of the territory; land areas according to customary land uses; land areas according to land tenural arrangement, and all other data that can be shown in maps
Matrix showing :
- Territory land areas dis-aggregated according to
- Ownership/control
- Land uses with corresponding areas and resources
- Areas of conflicts
Historical changes in territory brought about by major events (i.e disasters, land use conversion, change in tenure) be mapped, may use matrix and needs narrative on causes of changes, effects and impacts, no of IP’s affected
Show in map:
- Within the customary territory, show land areas claimed by state and resources within; IP lands recognized by government, number of households or communities involved, others
- Show in map changes in land due to state laws on tenure and land use and or land classification, lands affected by what state laws
