1 Open Foris Collect Case Kenya Pekka Hyvönen & András Balázs Metla

2 Improving Capacity In Forest Resources Assessment in Kenya (IC-FRA) 1) Proposal preparation phase 09/ /2009 2) Project planning phase I 02/ /2009 3) Project planning phase II 01/ / Preparation of the Project Document - linkage to the Miti Mingi Maisha Bora project (MMMB): IC-FRA budget part of (taken from) the MMMB budget 4) Project implementation - Contract between METLA and MFA , EUR

3 IC-FRA partner agencies Kenya Kenya Forest Service (KFS) Department of Resource Surveys and Remote Sensing (DRSRS) Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRI) University of Eldoret, School of Natural Resources (UoE) Finland Finnish Forest Research Institute - Helena Haakana (coordinator) - Jukka Alm (GHG, soil) - András Balázs (remote sensing) - Juha Heikkinen (statistics) - Pekka Hyvönen (inventory) - Heikki Parikka (data management)

4 Component 1. Planning of a national FRA Pilot inventory in five test areas Nationwide sampling design Data processing tools Tree biomass and volume modelling Enhance expertise on inventory methods

5 Component 2. Development of RS based techniques for forest data collection and monitoring Satellite imagery and Airborne Laser Scanning Wall-to-wall forest attributes Change detection Upgrade skills to use RS in forest resources assessment and monitoring

6 Implementing forest inventory Agree Inventory Objectives Assess Data Needs Create infrastructure Develop the FRA plan Develop Information Systems Build Institutional and human capacity Design FRA Sampling Collect Sample Plot Data / QA Aquire RS data Data Processing FIS Data base Share results (web) Report (REDD+)

7 Pilot inventory Clusters 5 Field teams + QA-team 36 days 220 sample plots, about trees

8 Pilot inventory Measurements in the sample plot Stand B N Stand A NW NE Trees dbh > 20 cm & shrubs, dead wood, climber Trees dbh > 10 cm & bamboo Trees dbh > 5 cm Trees dbh > 2 cm W E SW SE S

11 Collect 1. Field Manual 2. Form in survey designer Form imported to Open Foris Collect Mobile (OFCM) PDA, Pidion BIB6000- Max Lots of development work!

12 OFCM

13 OFCM Some error/logical checking in OFCM

14 Data flow Google Drive Both SQLite and PostgreSQL Final data cleaning in Collect Still some errors that were found later during calculations

15 Data flow

16 Calculations Csv-files

17 Calculations Open Foris Calc, next step

18 Quality Assurance (QA) data flow Google Drive

19 OFCM / PDA: Feedback Some breaks, no clear reason More data, software got slower Order of forms / variables, all not logical Slow to scroll / browse between long forms Sampling of sample trees, too simple method Collect / PC Worked ok? More validations / logical checkings needed

20 An other project, 2014 (Finland) Re-inventory What should be measured Field Manual Previous data from the year 2004 Different structure 2004 / 2014 Data modification Form design in Collect Importing modified data (as csv-files) into Collect

21 An other project, 2014 (Finland)

22 An other project, 2014 (Finland) Toughbook, CF-18 (2003) + CF CF-U1 Windows XP (1 CF-U1 Win7) Data cleaning already in the forest Worked?

23 Thank you
