Land Use and Spatial Planning : Enabling Sustainable Management of Land Resources / by Graciela Metternicht. - 1st ed. 2018. - Australia : Springer Publishing Company, Inc., 2018 - 1 online resource (XVII, 116 pages 16 illustrations) - SpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences, 2191-5369 . - SpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences, .
1. Introduction.- 2. Planning: definitions and evolution in the context of SLM -- 3. Principles of best practice in land use planning for SLM -- 4. Contributions of land use planning to sustainable land use and management -- 5. Concluding remarks -- 6. References.
This book reconciles competing and sometimes contradictory forms of land use, while also promoting sustainable land use options. It highlights land use planning, spatial planning, territorial (or regional) planning, and ecosystem-based or environmental land use planning as tools that strengthen land governance. Further, it demonstrates how to use these types of land-use planning to improve economic opportunities based on sustainable management of land resources, and to develop land use options that strike a balance between conservation and development objectives. Competition for land is increasing as demand for multiple land uses and ecosystem services rises. Food security issues, renewable energy and emerging carbon markets are creating pressures for the conversion of agricultural land to other uses such as reforestation and biofuels. At the same time, there is a growing demand for land in connection with urbanization and recreation, mining, food production, and biodiversity conservation. Managing the increasing competition between these services, and balancing different stakeholders' interests, requires efficient allocation of land resources.
