Land use in the study area is very dynamic. Within one year more than half of the
study area has changed, agriculture was mostly replaced by aquaculture. Land use
changed even more than the farmers’ preference. Half of the farmers’ preferences
were realized, mostly in aquaculture. The farmers’ preference changed largely from
agriculture to a mixture of agriculture and aquaculture, or to aquaculture alone.
There was a difference in preference of the agriculture farmers and the aquaculture
farmers, due to differences in biophysical and economic considerations. GIS is a
very useful tool to support the data analysis and results presentation
