Principles of land use planning

On the basis of long-term investigations some principles of land use planning are presented.

Land use planning is a dialogue, creating the prerequisites for the successful negotiation and cooperation among the stockholders.

The core task of land use planning consist of initiating a communication and cooperation process which ‘allows all participants to formulate their interests and objectives in the dialogue”. On the basis of sound decisions a sustainable form of land use is proposed ‘whereby the aims and interests of other participating group are taken into account to the greatest possible extent’.

Traditional rural societies have their own way of approaching problems and settling conflicts concerning land use. In the process of land use planning, such mechanisms have to be recognized, understood and taken into account.

Land use planning requires transparency. Therefore, free access to information for all participants is a prerequisite.

Land use planning is implementation-oriented. Land use planning has to consider how the negotiated decisions are to be implemented. Land use planning does not end with the land use plan.

Land evaluation

Decisions on land use have always been part of the evolution of human society. In the past, land use changes often came about by gradual evolution, as the result of many separate decisions taken by individuals. In the more crowded and complex world of today, the use of the land is frequently dictated by government policies or economic factors. In Africa, many land use changes are concerned with putting environmental resources to new kinds of productive use or for developing previously unused (often marginal) lands. To ensure the suitability of any proposed change, there is a need for an effective and holistic evaluation or assessment process. Such actions are particularly important in the context of current debates on the competition between biofuel and food crops or with nations acquiring land outside of their borders to assure food security or stable food prices.

The goal of land evaluation is to guide rational decisions on land use in such a way that the natural resources are put to the most beneficial use for man, while at the same time conserving those fundamental ecosystem functions for the future. Such evaluations must be based on a good understanding of both the natural environment and of the type of land use envisaged. There have been many examples of damage to natural resources and of unsuccessful land use enterprises through a failure to account for the mutual relationships between land and the uses to which it is put. Land evaluation should bring about such an understanding and present planners with options regarding the most promising kinds of land use.
