  2. SEARRIN ORGANISATION • The Southeast Asia Regional Research Information Network (SEARRIN) is a network that consists of scientists in the SEA region, dedicated to the scientific understanding of human-environment interactions influenced by global changes.

  3. The SEARRIN research organisation consists of 7 nations in SEA from Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia. • The researchers in the LUCC network are from multi-disciplinary areas comprising both the natural and social sciences.

  4. SEARIN conducts research on land cover and land use change in an integrated science framework that includes remote sensing and GIS technology, econometric and systems models, and field work. • The methodology employed emphasizes on spatial and temporal analysis. Our interdisciplinary approach is grounded in our diverse academic and professional expertise: ecology, economics, forestry, geography, political science, resource management, and sociology. The research that is focused is policy relevant, and not policy driven.

  5. Objectives • Our aim is to increase capacity building consistent with the projects on land use and land cover changes, technological and manpower requirement and the dissemination of recent acquired knowledge at regional and national level.

  6. The network initially comprising of 4 countries started in Manila in 1993 when the Land Use and Cover Changes project workplan was defined, and 4site specific case studies from each country were selected. • An operational methodology for monitoring LUCC was developed. • Emphasis on the driving forces of LUCC. • Case study to regional analysis on the micro/macro approach. • Inter disciplinary teams emphasized. • Regional leadership with assistance from SAP members

  18. Future Development • Projects: To anchor global research projects in the SEA region. Pipeline: • Millennium Ecosystem Assessment • Kesejahteraan in SEA • Global Observation Forest Cover (GOFC) • All three themes of GOFC (land characteristics, forest fire monitoring and mapping, forest biophysical processes) • “Subjecting Tropical Forest to New Fire Regimes” • “Characterisation of forest fire spatial pattern in SEA: Linking forest biophysical and climatic factors to the management and human dimensions of land use.”

  19. SEARRIN Directory : Lists of researchers, adresses, expertise in global change research • International Regional Project Office: Disseminate products to scientific communities and promote SEARRIN interests • Strive to be a referrel centre for policies advising on LUCC, GOFC and other impact research • Depository centre for satellite data in the region : validated data on forest cover, fires, fractional covers from the network to interested users. • Promote as satellite science education in the region.
