A formal "FAO-type land evaluation" had been carried out by Southern Highlands Rural Development project in Papua New Guinea. The objective was next to "identify the social overlay" on this physical inventory - ie "who governs who has access to what land". The team of three used aerial photographs as one of several RRA tools. The photographs were used as aids for mapping clan boundaries and as a focus for discussion in interviews, proving an immediate way "for both interviewees and interviewers to use as a reference in distinguishing between land types".
