Background:
'In June 1990, the Australian International Development Assistance Bureau (AIDAB) contracted the Queensland Forest Service (QFS) and the CSIRO, Division of Tropical Crops and Pastures to undertake the Vanuatu Forest Resource Survey Project. The principal aim of the project was 'to contribute to the national objective of the Vanuatu Government to plan and manage the country's forest and agricultural resources in conjunction with appropriate land use development and conservation strategies for the economic benefit of the Vanuatu people'. During the project a geographically-referenced micro-computer based planning tool called the Vanuatu Resource Information System (VANRIS) was developed. VANRIS integrates spatially referenced information for the entire country concerning the type, distribution and current use of the natural resources with population distribution'. This Abstract was taken from Bellamy, J A (Ed), VANRIS Handbook, CSIRO (Qld), 1993
