Assessing UAV Technology for Land Rights in Kenya: Stakeholder Perspectives via Interactive Gaming

This study evaluates the potential of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for documenting land rights in Kenya through interactive gaming. The research explores stakeholder views on the role of UAV technology in supporting land rights documentation, highlighting opportunities and challenges. Results from interactive gaming sessions reveal consensus, cost considerations, training needs, legal barriers, and technical reliability aspects of using UAV imagery for land mapping in Kenya. The findings aim to enhance understanding and inform decision-making on improving land tenure systems in Kenya.

  1. Evaluation of UAV-based technology to capture land rights in Kenya: Displaying stakeholder perspectives' through interactive gaming ClaudiaStöcker, Mila Koeva, Rohan Bennett, Jaap Zevenbergen Land and Poverty Conference 2019: Catalyzing Innovation The World Bank - Washington DC, March 25-29, 2019 Session: Potential and pitfalls of using drone imagery I

  2. Motivation • Indicator of SDG Target 1.4: documented or recognized evidence of tenure • Problem: majority of people do not have formally documented land rights • How do stakeholders assess the potential role of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to support the documentation of land rights?

  3. Masterclass "Its4land" - innovative geospatial tools for fit-for-purpose land rights mapping Friday  11:00am-12:30pm MC 8-100 Context: its4land Program: EU granted H2020-ICT-2015 Research and Innovation Action Start date: 2016-02-01 • Duration: 48 months Consortium: 8 partners across Europe and Africa • Objective: We’recreatingseven new tools to make land rightsmappingfaster, cheaper, easier, and more responsible. www.its4land.com

  4. Background Kenya • Characterized by arid and semi-arid landscapes • Statutory and customary land tenure with fixed and general boundaries • Land-related conflicts due to lack of legal certainty over land • Poor quality of land information • Disconnected land administration functions

  5. Method – interactive gaming Sticky game chips Blank radar chart on 4-8 discussants

  6. Method – interactive gaming Data acquisition techniques Field survey UAV survey Satellite survey Aerial survey

  7. Method – Interactive gaming

  8. Results

  9. Results 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  10. Results • Clear and easy ranking • Consensus among groups • Correlation with spatial resolution or measurement accuracy

  11. Results • Consensus among groups • Critical point of time efficiency is the unknown time for UAV registration and flight authorization • Once authorized – immediate realization of UAV flights possible • Statistical outlier with field survey

  12. Results • One-off costs for UAV equipment and field survey • Recurring costs for satellite images and aerial images • Economies of scale (scale increases – costs decrease)

  13. Results • Most substantial variance of responses • High level of training for Field survey and Aerial images • Current UAV legislation as hindering factor • Automation of UAV data capture as opportunity

  14. Results • Ranking clear for indirect surveying techniques • Large variance for field survey • UAV images allow for community involvement during data capture on the ground Open and transparent procedure

  15. Results • Reliability of technique versus reliability of person who collects data • Discrepancies in field survey and satellite images • Automated workflow for UAV image processing is reliable (esp. PPK, RTK) • Ground control points lower reliability of UAV

  16. Conclusion Interactive gaming supported the identification of opportunities and challenges of UAV images as base data for land rights mapping in Kenya. Opportunities Challenges • Allow for public participation • Independence of data capture • Support endeavors to digitize the current land registration system • GNSS equipment for RTK/PPK UAV data capture • Current regulatory vacuum • Lack of adequate capacity
