4.3.3. High Spatial and/or Temporal Resolution

The proven flexibility of UAS data acquisition supports the collection of a multi-temporal base data for on-going and current tasks such as the revision of the National Development Plans (i.e., Master Plans) for Secondary Cities or development plans for towns and villages. Frequent changes in land use projects can be tracked and monitored using repetitive UAS data collections, especially since plot sizes and administrative areas in Rwanda tend to be small and lend themselves well to UAS data capture. Additionally, disputes about former land ownership and land use can be solved more efficiently with evidence from a multi-temporal database (i.e., history of land information). Next to the temporal aspect, the high spatial resolution of UAS data allows users to extract information about developments at parcel level or a more detailed land use planning which also includes sub-uses in urban and peri-urban areas.
