[Abstract]

　With regard to integration of the desertification studies, we have developed a framework and a modeling method, called the "Desertification Integrated Model", which grasps a series of desertification processes systematically and quantitatively. We link the model development to "Benchmarks and Indicators" approach currently carried out at the CST of the UNCCD. Concerning systematization of diverse technologies to combat desertification, reviews and questionnaire surveys were implemented to identify and categorize technologies to control desertification more systematically, and to discuss about methodology for assessment of desertification control projects. According to the results, two-matrix methodology was proposed for systematic identification/categorization. Using the matrixes, appropriate assessment system of technologies was discussed.
