1:10,000 scale (vertical 1:6,300) 3D model of
Ba Be National Park (December 2003), Bac Kan Province,
Ba Be district Vietnam.
Note: The model,
representing an area of 400 km2,
was built to determine land use and enclave delineations
within Ba Be National Park and its immediate Buffer Zone.
 Depicted data reflect the cognitive maps of 44 village
elders and village heads from six communes and commune
members, Ba Be National Park officials, Forest Protection
Department of Ba Be National Park,

Ba Be National Park was established in 1992. The national
park area and its boundary were defined, marked, and mapped
prior to the 3D Modelling exercise. However, local communities
needed to understand and acknowledge the state and function of
protected area boundaries with respect to their agricultural
lands. Therefore, building a 3D Model was thought to be the
best method to disseminate and share information with local
people regarding the location of boundaries and therefore the
status of lands within the protected area and its adjacent
agricultural and forestry lands. |

The 3D Model exercise has been completed. Local
community stakeholders participated in the synthesis of
information and then its definition within the model
landscape. Through the exercise, local communities have become
more aware of the location of national park boundaries, and
national park officials have acknowledged the location of
agricultural and forestry lands adjacent to the protected
area.
