The Future

The development of the forester's leadership role in forest land management is compared to rising profile of land between a sea or lake shoreline and a range of mountains, the progression is upward but the rate of climb changes. No plateau is identified. Reference is made to forestry leadership in several fields of forest land management; administration, land use, planning, research, forest management, recreational land use and fish and wildlife management. It is noted that forest land management includes activities for which foresters were not academically trained and reference is made to the fact that non-foresters, e.g. biologists and geographers are giving leadership in forest land management and thus providing beneficial competition and stimulation. The most important leadership role in the future may relate to regional planning. The forestry profession is cautioned not to abdicate this field to those in other disciplines.

Ba river is the biggest river system in the South-Central Coast of Vietnam and plays a significant role in the socio-economic development of the region. Recently, land-use changes in Gia Lai province have been significantly transformed. Hence, to provide the information for land-use planning, there is an urgent need for land-use change assessment in the upstream Ba river basin. This study employed the Markov chain coupled with GIS to assess land-use changes between 2010 - 2015 and 2015 - 2020 periods. The results showed that during the period 2010 - 2015, there was no significant conversion of agricultural and reserve forest land. Meanwhile, a large proportion of unused (86%) and water and aquacultural land (57.5%) was converted into the other land-use types. Between 2020 and 2015, unused land decreased while the surface water and aquacultural land increased. The forest land accounted for a significant area (51.16%) during the 2015 - 2020 period. In addition, the driving forces leading to these changes were also analyzed, providing a more comprehensive of land-use change in the study area. In general, GIS and Markov were suitable for assessing land-use change. This study outcomes provide a general framework for land-use planning in Gia Lai province.

Land Use Policies

Forest land use planning in Alberta takes place within the provincial Integrated Resource Planning system. The Alberta Forest Service is a major participant in this system as it is the primary resource management agency for Alberta's forested land. Several provincial land use policies direct forest-related land use, including the White and Green Areas, established in 1948, and the Eastern Slopes Policy adopted in 1977. More detailed and site specific resource management is guided through subregional and local planning. In total, these planning mechanisms provide for the comprehensive and integrated management of Alberta's forested land. Key words: Forest land use planning, integrated planning, planning in Alberta, resource management.

Forested Landscapes

Canadians desire involvement in forest management at normative or early planning phases. One way of accomplishing this is through meaningful public involvement in land-use planning efforts. The Provinces of Ontario and Manitoba have, respectively, completed or are completing the development of land use plans for large areas of forested landscapes. Both governments identified public participation as being an integral part of these processes. This paper examines how well these processes promoted participation by the general public, the vast majority of which resides in urban areas located outside the respective planning regions. It is determined that in both cases this was poorly done. Reasons are given for why and how increased participation by the urban public should be pursued. Key words: public involvement, land-use planning, forest management, urban centres, Lands for Life, East Side Planning Initiative, Canada

The article is devoted to the planning of rational, environmentally sound involvement of land resources in economic development. The development of the territory of cities leads to an increase in their boundaries and the construction of residential, transport and industrial infrastructure. Agricultural and forest land categories are used. Issues of long-term planning of land use are of high relevance.The article describes the principles of formation of urban agglomerations. The problems in the development of Russian agglomerations are shown. The necessity of an optimal environmentally sound plan for the involvement of new land plots is substantiated. To solve this problem is proposed was developed by the authors of the digital spatial-temporal model of the forward planning of use of lands of the Novosibirsk agglomeration. The model is developed taking into account the design solutions Of the Institute of urban planning «Giprogor». Land ranking within the boundaries of the project area of settlement of the Novosibirsk agglomeration was made for the first time. Land ranking is a phased plan for the development of land for the construction of residential, transport, social and industrial infrastructure.

Based on the support of RS and GIS technology, this paper analyzes the spatial and temporal variation characteristics and driving forces of land use in the Yanhe River Basin through the processing and interpretation of remote sensing images in different periods from 1980 to 2015 and the methods of the land use transfer matrix and dynamic attitude. The results show that cropland, grassland, and forest land are the three types of land use with the most obvious changes, while urban land and water body have relatively small changes in the Yanhe River Basin. The transfer between cropland, forest land, and grassland and urban land is very obvious, among which the conversion rate of cropland is the highest. During the 15 years from 2000 to 2015, the land use types of the Yanhe River Basin changed by 13.17%, with an average annual growth rate of 0.88%. The implementation of ecological restoration and governance policy is the direct driving force of land use change in the Yanhe River Basin. The results obtained in this study can provide reference basis for land use planning and management and land use structure optimization in the Yanhe River Basin in the future.

Huyện A Lưới của tỉnh Thừa Thiên Huế là nơi sinh sống của các nhóm dân tộc thiểu số Pa Cô, Tà Ôi với tập quán canh tác trên đất dốc và khai thác lâm sản từ rừng tự nhiên. Nhiều thay đổi trong sử dụng đất lâm nghiệp và tài nguyên rừng đã và đang diễn ra ở đây. Nghiên cứu đã chọn xã Hồng Kim để tiến hành khảo sát những thay đổi trong sử dụng đất lâm nghiệp của người dân địa phương. Thông qua phân tích định tính các thông tin thảo luận nhóm và phỏng vấn sâu, cùng với phân tích thống kê điều tra hộ, nghiên cứu cho thấy người dân xã Hồng Kim đã chuyển dịch từ canh tác nương rẫy sang trồng rừng và từ canh tác đa dạng sang độc canh. Những tác động dẫn dắt sự thay đổi này bao gồm cả chính sách đất đai và thị trường. Nghiên cứu đề xuất điều chỉnh quy hoạch sử dụng đất để tăng cơ hội tiếp cận đất đai cho người dân; xây dựng cơ chế hưởng lợi từ rừng cộng đồng, tạo sinh kế dưới tán rừng tự nhiên; tăng giá trị gia tăng từ rừng trồng, đồng thời tăng cường thực thi pháp luật để bảo vệ vốn rừng tự nhiên còn lại trên địa bàn; và xây dựng các mô hình nông lâm kết hợp để tăng tính đa dạng và nâng cao giá trị kinh tế của đất. ABSTRACT A Luoi district of Thua Thien Hue province is home to the Pa Co and Ta Oi ethnic groups with the practice of farming on sloping land and exploiting forest products from natural forests. Many changes in the use of forest land and forest resources have been occurring there. Hong Kim commune was selected in the study to survey forestry land use change. Through qualitative analysis of group discussions and in-depth interviews, along with statistical analysis of household surveys, the study showed that people in Hong Kim commune have converted forest land used for shifting cultivation to reforestation and from diverse farming systems to monoculture. The effects of driving this change included both land and market policy. The study proposed to adjust land use planning to increase opportunities for people to access land; building a mechanism for benefiting from community forests, creating livelihoods under the canopy of natural forests; increasing added value from planted forests while strengthening law enforcement to protect the remaining natural forest capital in the area, and building agroforestry models to increase the diversity and increase the economic value of the land.
