Allocation of land resources in semi-arid areas: a simulation based on the East African experience
This paper describes a simulation game prepared as an exercise for a course entitled 'Arid and Semi-arid Lands, their Status and Potential' which the authors taught in the Department of Geography of the University of Nairobi during the 1977 - 78 academic year. The simulation was intended t...
