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.

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.
