92 p. The study undertaken was aimed at examining the applicability of remote sensing and geographic information system for providing necessary information to be used in tropical rain forest management. Specifically it illustrated the usefulness of both remote sensing and GIS techniques in identifying appropriate logging area based upon defined criteria. Consequently, proper planning such as selecting suitable logging method to be used can be formulated based on the information. In addition to that it was discovered that by using remote sensing technique, it is possible to gather information on the extent and quality of the forest, specifically to differentiate between disturbed and highly degraded forest from undisturbed forest. Necessary action can then be taken to improve these forests, hence promoting them for future timber production.
