Land use planning

Abstract

In the past, decisions made on land use have resulted in the degradation of land resources or an imbalance between supply and demand of those resources. Now land use, it can be used in resources management (forestry, production systems compatible with resources and agro-forestry, pasture management, nature protection and erosion control), rural regional development, community support and village development and government consultation (environmental strategy planning, agricultural sector planning, development planning, assessment of land potential). Land use planning is not only a kind of land use arrangement decision making but also a comprehensive decision for different aspects which has close relationships with or has heavy impacts on different types of land use and relations between different land use activities. © Medwell Journals, 2010.
