摘要：

The planning process for marine protected areas in Belize, Central America, adopts geographic information system (GIS) technology to integrate data from a variety of sources. This article describes the importance of GIS in assisting institutional cooperation and illustrates the many advantages of GIS over conventional approaches to mapping and data management. GIS is a powerful analytical tool that has allowed the improvement of inadequate ground control and base mapping through the incorporation of differential global positioning systems technology. Subsequent resource mapping has been carried out through the application of SPOT Panchromatic and other remotely sensed imagery, field survey, and existing GIS data. In Belize, GIS products are increasingly being used as the primary source for management plans. The technology will play a key role in the future development of management initiatives for the country's coastal zone.
