Solid Ground : Increasing Community Resilience Through Improved Land Administration and Geospatial Information Systems

Countries struck by equally powerful disaster events are affected differently in terms of thedevastation caused, the number of casualties, persons displaced, impact on livelihoods, andthe pace of reconstruction and recovery. Some communities, citie...
