Land-Use Planning Guidelines for Optimal Coastal Environmental Management

ResumenEl objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la participación ciudadana en el proceso de planeación del ordenamiento ecológico del municipio de Juárez. Esto es mediante la evaluación de las capacidades de los actores sociales para establecer los criterios que llevaron a conformar las unidades de gestión ambiental (UGA) y establecer la política ambiental que corresponde a cada UGA del municipio de Juárez en Chihuahua. Esta participación se dio a través de los talleres de planeación participativa. Los resultados indican que los talleres participativos son una herramienta efectiva para establecer un diálogo reflexivo sobre problemáticas comunes en donde los diferentes actores tienen la misma oportunidad para externar sus ideas y propuestas.AbstractThis paper shows the analysis of citizen participation in the process of ecological land use planning.

Use Of Resources

The reasons of the degradation of agricultural land, the innovative tasks of optimizing land use and the prospects for scientific support of agricultural environmental management are considered. The necessity of technological agriculture modernization on the base of the adaptive landscape systems development and high-tech agricultural technologies is justified. Further development of adaptive intensification of agriculture and land use is associated with the design of optimal agricultural landscapes (agricultural landscapes, livestock, water, residential and others) in the system of ecological frameworks of the territory integrated with field infrastructure. As a toolkit for landscape design a structural functional landscape analysis is proposed. The Land use regulation, land relations, land market is aimed to the development of government land policy; introduction of a land use control system; limiting the maximum size of land in the property; prohibition to the acquisition of land by foreign citizens in various forms; a progressive increase of land tax on the increase of land area in property; restoration of state land management; the creation of a State Land Service. As the most important condition for optimizing the use of resources and environmental management in general the need to adjust the economic course, the formation of government land policy based on strategic land use planning and the solution of a number of legal, management, organizational, personnel and educational tasks are considered.

Administrative Framework

This chapter examines the environmental law system of Singapore, with particular emphasis on the role of an effective environmental management system (EMS) in the city-state’s successful management of the environment. The EMS of Singapore consists of an administrative framework, comprehensive land use planning, and the implementation and enforcement of effective pollution control laws. Before analysing the central features of the EMS, the chapter provides an overview of Singapore’s legal system and sources of law. It then considers the structure and substance of environmental law as it applies to pollution control (air pollution, pollution from stationary sources/industries, pollution from vehicles, emissions from other sources), water pollution and water management, waste management, contaminated sites, noise, nature conservation, and climate change. The discussion concludes with an assessment of the administrative framework for environmental management, focusing on the role of government agencies and strategies for land use planning, including judicious siting of industries.
