The
Irsal project aimed at analyzing components of land use shifts and
evaluating the sustainability of farming systems of the marginal
lands of Lebanon. The viability of establishing a network of users
to improve sustainable community development through direct
involvement of the local beneficiaries.
The
project was designed and implemented through a multidisciplinary
approach that includes a specific set of interactive methods both at
the local level in which active participation of the users was
sought and at the analytical level through the use of GIS and other
research tools.The
multidisciplinary project team involved fourteen researchers from
different fields and expertise. Survey methods included Rapid Rural
Appraisal, semi structured and structured interviews and informal
inquiries. Farming system analysis was a critical research tool to
identify and cluster target groups.
