|a This highly detailed land-use planning guide employs a holistic approach to planning that considers a variety of development issues beyond the strict confines of disaster risk reduction (DRR). The guide introduces the concept of land use by defining the term itself and presenting a general outline of its central ideas and principles. It emphasizes cooperation and coordination by framing land-use planning as an iterative process, touching on its social context and the objectives of various stakeholders. The introduction is followed by several chapters that take the reader through the preliminary stages of the process, from data gathering to the initial design of plans. It deconstructs the social context by describing vertical and horizontal linkages both in a physical sense, in terms of village to village, and administratively, in terms of inter-agency interests and responsibilities. The mechanics of cooperation are also addressed, as the authors suggest techniques for streamlining negotiating processes, providing insights into what can be expected in multi-party participation. Implementation strategies are presented that assist planners in optimizing financial, organizational, and logistical practices. Monitoring and evaluation are portrayed as an integrated system of checks and balances among multiple participants. This advanced stage of land-use planning consists of assessing the ecological, social, and economic impacts of the program, and the collection of additional data for continued monitoring. Additional notes on the legal aspects of land use planning, as well as summaries of earlier land-use conflicts, are included in the appendices, as are examples of landscape units and mapping. These guidelines were produced by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit‘s (GTZ) Working Group on Integrated Land Use Planning. GTZ is an international development agency based in Germany that endeavors to secure sustainable development, improved living conditions for communities throughout the world. This document highlights the many societal benefits of intelligent land-use and is an excellent how-to book for those who must relocate populations or re-envision a geographic space. It targets development professionals in the public and private sectors. |
