Participatory land-use planning (LUP) is often promoted as a solution to various environment-related challenges. In Tanzania, planning processes often represent a stage in the conversion of village lands to different uses, such as wildlife conservation or large-scale farming. LUP in Tanzania is frequently dominated by powerful local, national, or international elites, resulting in loss of rights over village land despite the opposition of many villagers. Contemporary planning involves digital technologies such as global positioning system units, which enable easier storage and sharing of geospatial data. Using assemblage theory, and based on key informant interviews conducted in Arusha and Kilimanjaro Regions of Tanzania in 2015, this article shows that LUP, particularly when it involves digital technologies, is used to not only to change land uses but also to strengthen linkages between different organizations, reinforce certain narratives of environmental change, and legitimize particular forms of external intervention.

坦桑尼亚的土地利用规划、数字技术和环境保护

参与式土地利用规划 (LUP) 通常被宣传为解决各种与环境相关的挑战的方法。在坦桑尼亚，规划过程通常代表将村庄土地转化为不同用途的一个阶段，例如野生动物保护或大规模农业。坦桑尼亚的 LUP 经常由强大的地方、国家或国际精英主导，尽管许多村民反对，但导致对村庄土地的权利丧失。当代规划涉及全球定位系统单元等数字技术，可更轻松地存储和共享地理空间数据。本文使用组合理论，并基于 2015 年在坦桑尼亚阿鲁沙和乞力马扎罗地区进行的关键知情人访谈，表明 LUP，特别是当它涉及数字技术时，
