When I first started thinking about community land management, I did not give much thought to the role that data-driven decision-making plays. Nevertheless, this class shed light on the significance of data in comprehending the patterns of land use, the vulnerabilities of communities, and the requirements of buildings and other infrastructure. I investigated the possible ways in which open-source data, geographic information system mapping, and digital infrastructure might improve land planning and adaption techniques by using case studies.

The conversations about mobility were especially enlightening and thought-provoking. Informal transportation networks, restricted accessibility, and inadequate infrastructure are all factors that contribute to socioeconomic inequality in many Caribbean areas. Currently, the focus of my project is on the ways in which community-driven mobility solutions can improve land resilience and climate adaptation. This will ensure that communities have equal access to resources, land, and economic opportunities.

In addition, the construction of infrastructure is the key component of environmentally responsible land management. The need of resilient infrastructure, which includes things like green areas, flood-resistant housing, and decentralized energy systems, was emphasized throughout the course as being essential to climate adaptation. Due to the fact that these components are now an essential part of my project, it is more important than ever to have regulations that give priority to investments in environmentally friendly infrastructure at the community level.
