The article presents the empirical findings on
the georeferenced digital database for sustainable land use
management of the Hardap region, Namibia. The research
signifies the continuous value of geographical data
management for land use planning and management in
Namibia. The research applied a combination of approaches
that include literature review, Geographical Information
System (GIS), delineation of the imagery, Global
Positioning Systems (GPS) and cartographic mapping. Both
positive and negative impacts of the georeferenced digital
database for sustainable land use management were explored.
The research findings, among others, include the concepts,
explanations, procedures and the value of the georeferenced
digital database towards sustainable land use management.
The research further provides important results such as
existing organisational structures for spatial data
management, elaborated procedures and steps for creating a
georeferenced digital database for proper management of the
GIS data in Namibia. Key recommendations include proper
managed organisational structures for spatial data
management, implementation of the elaborated procedures
and steps for creating a georeferenced digital database for
sustainable land use planning in Namibia
