Land Use Plan

Since usable land in Taiwan is more and more difficult to get and the problems of air pollution, environmental protection, visual quality, and ecological environment, etc, caused by transportation infrastructure are getting more public concern, the Ministry of Transport adopts building green transportation system as one direction of the energy conservation strategy for the traffic department, of which implementing the green transportation system-oriented land use planning is one of the important action plan. As for the system, there should be an objective to determine whether the program result is in accordance with the green transportation developing goal. The paper hereby probes into the green transportation concept that could be applied into the stages of land use design. Land use planning provide some reference to the government agencies and relevant designers when they are drawing up the land use plan.

Land Use Plan

Land use plans have been considered as a solution to land use problems. Effectiveness of implementation of land use plan relies on a number of factors including strategies that are used to enhance adherence to the land use plan. For the study area, current and potential strategies to enhance adherence to land use plans had previously not been assessed. Thus this study assessed current and potential strategies used to enhance adherence to participatory village land use plans in Ulanga District, Tanzania. Data were collected through household survey of 120 respondents from two villages, key informants interviews, focus group discussions, field observation, review of guidelines for land use planning, village and use plans, district land use framework, books and journals. Information from household survey and village records were descriptively analysed to obtain frequencies and percentages. Information from key informants and focus groups was analysed by content analysis. Current strategies used included by-laws, boundary demarcation, zoning, community action plan, and conflict resolution. The current strategies were ineffectively implemented and enforced due to inadequate awareness, inadequate fines and penalties, funding limitations, weak governance and inefficient coordination and monitoring. Potential strategies that should be implemented include education, awareness raising, capacity building and benefit sharing.

Planning Authority

This paper examines the tension between centralizing and decentralizing forces in systems of land use planning. Its thesis, drawn from the LaHaye Report, is that the degree of centralization of the system is directly proportional to the breadth of jurisdiction of the planning authority. While Quebec's system of land use planning is reputed to be decentralized and political, the author questions whether this assessment is correct. The role of the government under the Land Use Planning and Development Act and other specialized legislation is more in accordance with the centralized and technocratic systems advocated in earlier Quebec proposals for land use planning. This conclusion is reinforced by a consideration of the suggestions put forward in Le Choix des régions and their present-day application.

Rapid urban expansion is a significant contributor to land cover change and poses a challenge to environmental sustainability, particularly in less developed countries. Insufficient data about urban expansion hinders effective land use planning. Therefore, a high need to collect, process, and disseminate land cover data exists. This study focuses on urban land cover change detection using Geographic Information Systems and remote sensing methods to produce baseline information in support for land use planning. We applied a supervised classification of land cover of LANDSAT data from 1987, 2002, and 2017. We mapped land cover transitions from 1987 to 2017 and computed the net land cover change during this time. Finally, we analyzed the mismatches between the past and current urban land cover and land use plans and quantified the non-urban development area lost to urban/built-up. Our results indicated an increase in urban/built-up and bare land cover types, while vegetation land cover decreased. We observed mismatches between past/current land cover and the existing land use plan. By providing detailed insights into mismatches between the regional land use plan and unregulated urban expansion, this study provides important information for a critical debate on the role and effectiveness of land use planning for environmental sustainability and sustainable urban development, particularly in less developed countries.

This paper describes a planning effort that is unique in United States history. Notwithstanding US Constitutional constraints, a joint Federal-State effort attempted to plan for the State of Alaska's 375 million acres of land, following statehood in 1959. The study focuses on the seven-year life of the Federal-State Land Use Planning Commission (FSLUPC) and the competing interests of resource development, environmental preservation, and subsistence life-styles. A consensus decision mode resulted in considerable success in resolving conflicts among competing interests, but failure in consolidating a constituency and developing a land-use plan. The FSLUPC closed its doors in 1979, and in 1980 Congress passed an Alaskan Wilderness Bill the effect of which is so large that it doubles American conservation lands.

Being an oldest landmass with the most complete Paleozoic rock sequence Langkawi archipelago hosts the richest geological diversity and heritage resources in the country. As a popular tourist destination, the scenic beauty has attracted tourists to Langkawi without them realising that the beauty has been created by the islands’ rich geological heritage diversity. To date more than 90 geoheritage sites of highly significant scientific, aesthetic, social or recreational value have been identified. Some of these geoheritage sites have become popular tourist sites. To ensure the sustainability of the tourism industry Langkawi needs to have a comprehensive and practical conservation strategy and mechanism. Without a good conservation policy the geoheritage sites are constantly under threat and under stress due to the need of space for development. To ensure the sustainability of these natural resources it is timely to include geoheritage sites in future land use planning.

Kecelakaan bagi pejalan kaki, seperti halnya kecelakaan lalu lintas jalan lainnya, tidak bisa diprediksi dan dicegah. Negara dalam hal ini adalah pemerintah haruslah memperhatikan dalam menangani masalah keselamatan bagi pejalan kaki dengan mengimplementasikan langkah-langkah efektif. Beberapa rekomendasi meminta pemerintah untuk mempertimbangkan kebutuhan semua pengguna jalan, termasuk pejalan kaki dan pengendara sepeda, ketika keputusan tentang rancangan jalan dan infrastruktur, perencanaan tata guna lahan dan layanan transfortasi. Dan dari hasil yang diteliti penulis dalam hal ini mengenai faktor-faktor utama yang mempengaruhi resiko kecelakaan lalu lintas bagi pejalan kaki mencakup diantaranya 1). Kecepatan dan risiko kecelakaan pejalan kaki 2). Alkohol. 3) Kurangnya fasilitas pejalan kaki dalam perancangan jalan dan perencanaan tata guna lahan 4). Buruknya visibility pejalan kaki. Accidents for pedestrians, as well as other road traffic accidents, cannot be predicted and prevented. The country in this case is that the government should pay attention to the problem of safety for pedestrians by implementing effective measures. Some recommendations require the Government to consider the needs of all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists, when decisions about road design and infrastructure, land use planning and transfortation services. And from the results examined by the authors in this regard on the main factors that affect the risk of traffic accidents for pedestrians include 1). Speed and risk of pedestrian accident 2). Alcohol. 3) The lack of pedestrian facilities in road planning and land use planning 4). Poor pedestrian visibility

Rawa Bunga population is constantly increased as time goes by. The increasing population in Rawa Bunga is leading to a change in land-use planning. The initial planning which create a balance between commercial and housing is forced to change into domination of housing. Although the housing community is constantly increased, but the government didn’t increased the community facility or third place in Rawa Bunga. This condition is causing a huge problem for the community to satisfy their daily basic needs. Even more, they started to occupy every vacant place for their activity and making problems for other people. The objective of this design is making a third place for the community of Rawa Bunga that can help them to socialize and interact with each other. The design method is divided into two parts, the first part is collecting data from observation, urban study, and analysis. The second part is start from the program and follow the theory of activity tipology. The design idea is a community facility or third place for interactive sport, sport and interactive technology is chosen because the community in Rawa Bunga loves sports. In addition, the third place will inserted by Betawi culture to introduce the genius loci of Rawa Bunga. Keywords:  interactive sports; Rawa Bunga; Third Place AbstrakKelurahan Rawa Bunga memiliki jumlah penduduk yang selalu meningkat seiring berjalannya waktu. Peningkatan jumlah penduduk yang terjadi berdampak kepada perubahan fungsi lahan yang tidak semestinya seperti Rancangan zonasi awal yang mempunyai komposisi yang seimbang antara komersial dan hunian. Tetapi pada kenyataannya, fungsi lahan yang ada didominasi oleh hunian. Walaupun fungsi hunian bertambah, tetapi tidak diiringi pertambahan third place yang memadai. Akibatnya adalah masalah beruntun berupa kebutuhan dasar manusia yang tidak terpenuhi. Dampak yang dihasilkan adalah pelaksanaan aktivitas masyarakat di tempat – tempat yang tidak semestinya sebagai ganti fasilitas lingkungan yang tidak memadai. Tujuan dari perancangan ini adalah berusaha memenuhi kebutuhan dasar masyarakat di Kelurahan Rawa Bunga akan aktivitas penunjang seperti sosialisasi dan interaksi baik antar manusia maupun dengan lingkungannya melalui third place. Metode Perancangan yang dipakai dibagi menjadi dua tahap, pertama tahap pencarian data dengan metode empiris yaitu observasi, studi kota dan analisis. Tahap kedua, Tahap perancangan dimulai dari hasil yang didapat dari analisis berupa program. Program akan diolah dengan pendekatan metode desain tipologi kegiatan. Ide dari perancangan ini adalah fasilitas lingkungan atau third place dengan aktivitas olahraga yang memakai teknologi interaktif untuk membantu proses sosialisasi dan interaksi baik antar manusia maupun dengan lingkungannya. Olahraga dipilih karena masyarakat di Rawa Bunga senang dengan aktivitas yang bersifat olahraga dan tidak lupa juga disisipi elemen kebudayaan Betawi untuk memperkenalkan genius loci kawasan Rawa Bunga.

Taxation, reclamation, and land use planning will be the three most important coal policy issues in British Columbia over the rest of the decade. British Columbia has reduced its profit-based taxes twice in the last five years in response to falling revenues, an increasing nonprofit tax burden, and falling coal prices. British Columbia's reclamation policy is meant to ensure that a mining company pays for reclamation of its minesite when mining is completed. For the coal sector, reclamation standards, acceptable security instruments, and the level of public risk are key policy issues that governments will have to confront. British Columbia has developed a process to resolve contentious land use issues through forward planning and public consensus. The mineral sector must limit the loss of access to potential mining areas while the government pursues its goal of doubling the size of protected areas.

Sustainable Conservation

The determination of protected area (PA) boundaries and the level of restrictions is very important for sustainable conservation, and such decisions must involve biodiversity data and assessment. In a PA, the consensus of the government and the locals is crucial to ensure protection–use balance. The PA restrictions constrain legal human activities, and the boundary determination and the restrictions should be based on various scientific analyses to achieve consensus. In this study, a GIS-based approach is proposed to utilize the biodiversity data for efficient conservation and land use planning in Kas-Kekova PA, which is among the most important PAs in Turkey. Spatial analysis methods, i.e., kernel density estimation, natural breaks classification and integrated density index, were performed for the assessment of the habitat networks using georeferenced biodiversity datasets, and the results were evaluated with respect to the actual land use data and the land ownership pattern. The developed spatial analysis approach is efficient to produce the conservation base maps required for regional land use planning, for defining sustainable conservation strategies, and to provide a widely accepted base for land use planning and biodiversity monitoring in the PA; although careful investigations and expert opinions are still required for data deficient areas.
