Under the influence of new land use planning, the condition of man-land harmony is received more and more attention, for the purpose of reaching the harmonization of social, economic and ecological benefits, then realizing sustainable land use. Therefore, an effective way to optimize land space utilization and to improve the overall efficiency is necessary. This paper focused on integrated zoning study of land use taking Pu county as a case. Firstly, the study built an index system; then used principal component analysis and cluster analysis method. The results showed three integrated land use areas were formed according to functional characteristics in leading industries, which can not only provide a reference for land-use zoning of the study area, but also ensure rational and efficient use of the regional land resources, ultimately promoting coordinated regional development.

The potential of property rate has been least tapped by decentralized governments in Ghana. This paper investigates the property rating system in Ghana through a case study of Offinso South Municipality (OSM). Questionnaires were used to gather empirical data from property owners in the municipality. The paper finds that there is inadequate property tax administration system and high public disdain for the property tax in OSM, with a significant association between compliance with the property tax and land use regulations in OSM. The paper suggests that the Offinso South Municipal Assembly (OSMA) should improve its land use planning system to facilitate voluntary compliance with the property tax. OSMA should also address accountability and transparency problems in the property tax system in order to increase public confidence in the tax regime. The OSMA should also improve on the property tax collection modes by computerising the billing and collection processes.
