This essay has sought to draw together some of the reasons behind the recent upsurge in interest in the systematic evaluation of scenic beauty. It has covered a wide range of disciplines, because of the multi-faceted nature of feelings about landscape. These feelings have been synthesized into four themes representing landscape as a non-renewable resource, as a recreational resource, as a spiritual resource, and finally as a historical resource. Undoubtedly many other equally valid reasons exist as to why the visual resource of the landscape should be recognized as an important consideration in land-use planning decisions.

Utility Scale

Land-based, utility-scale renewable energy (RE) systems using wind or solar resources to generate electricity is becoming a decisive solution to meet long-term carbon emission reduction goals. Local governments are responding in kind, by adopting their own goals and/or establishing policies to facilitate successful implementations of RE in their jurisdiction. One factor to successful RE development is to locate the most suitable lands, while continuing to sustain land-based economies and ecosystem services. Local governments often have limited resources; and this is especially true for small, land-constrained local governments. In this paper, we illustrate how a standardized RE technical mapping framework can be used by local governments to advance the implementation of RE in land-constrained areas, through a case study in the Town of Canmore, Alberta. Canmore has a limited municipal area surrounded by the Canadian Rockies, along with complex land-use bylaw and environmentally sensitive habitats. This mapping framework accounts for these conditions as it considers theoretical resources, technically recoverable lands, legally accessible lands, and the spatial capital cost of connecting new RE facilities. Different land-use planning scenarios are considered including changing setback buffers and expanding restrictions on development to all environmentally sensitive districts. The total RE potentials are then estimated based on the least-conflict lands. Technically speaking, even under restrictive land suitability scenarios, Canmore holds enough land to achieve ambitious RE targets, but opportunities and challenges to implementation remain. To eventually succeed in its long-term emission reduction goal, the most decisive step for Canmore is to balance the growth of energy demands, land-use changes, and practicable RE development. Mapping systems that can study the influence of land-use planning decisions on RE potential are critical to achieving this balance.

Literature Theory

In recent years, strategies to promote transportation and land use integration have gained prominence in planning-related fields, believed to yield many potential benefits toward travel, health, welfare, and sustainability goals. Although livability has been identified as an important outcome of this approach as well, little guidance exists on what livability actually is, how to measure it, or how transportation and land use integration strategies can promote it. The findings of a multiyear study of the livability literature, theory, and practice are followed by an extensive quantitative and qualitative study of more than 350 transit corridors including thousands of stations throughout the United States. Although often dismissed as subjective, this research shows that livability can be understood in well-defined and measurable ways, which are validated through an innovative geospatial approach using detailed national data on travel, health, safety, and other quality-of-life outcomes. The findings in this paper show how more integrated and livable transit corridors can yield multiple benefits regarding travel, health, welfare, and sustainability. The findings show how livability goals and their measures can inform planning decisions to promote equitable access to opportunities locally and regionally and yield multiple benefits. Therefore, livability can be seen as an organizing principle for determining when and how to deploy integrated transportation and land use planning strategies. A practical handbook and a calculator for building livable transit corridors are introduced; both were designed to empower practitioners and members of the public to equitably achieve higher levels of livability at local and regional scales.

Key Aspects

The discussion whether and how to capture the increment of land value has been present in academia and politics for decades. Only few countries have established comprehensive systems to calculate land values and introduce a regulatory basis to directly or indirectly capture increments linked to land-use planning decisions for the public good. This article elaborates the potentials of and barriers to implementing a land-use-based direct value-capture mechanism within Austria’s fragmented planning regime. The considerations are built upon an analysis of the existing framework and instruments linked to land value and planning to identify the context of constraints for an additional or replacing instrument. Based on a legal analysis and qualitative expert interviews, key aspects for linking value capture to land-use planning decisions are identified and conclusions drawn based on a recent discussion in Austria.

Sorghum has great potential to be cultivated and developed commercially because it has wide adaptability, high productivity, is resistant to plant pests and is more resistant to marginal conditions. Land evaluation is useful as a basis for sector development in an area that is useful for reorganizing the existing land use to assist in making land use planning decisions. This study that was aimed to evaluate land suitability for sorghum was conducted descriptively using the survey method. The sampling method used was based on a land map unit with a free grid system. The land evaluation was carried out by matching and comparing land characteristics with land suitability class criteria to obtain land suitability classes for sorghum plants in Bilah Barat District, Labuhanbatu Regency. There were six soil sample points collected at a depth of 0-60 cm to determine the value of soil characteristics. The results showed that the cultivated sorghum in Bilah Barat District, Labuhanbatu Regency of 12,829 ha which has the actual land suitability class for sorghum is Nwa with the potential land suitability class is S2tcwa.

 Land evaluation is useful as a basis for sector development in an area that is useful for reorganizing existing land use so as to assist in making land use planning decisions. Peanuts have great potential to be cultivated and developed commercially because they have wide adaptability, high productivity, are resistant to plant pests, and are more resistant to marginal conditions. This research is descriptive with survey methods. The sampling method used is based on land map units with a free grid system for data. climates classified by climate type Schmidt and Ferguson. The land evaluation was carried out using the matching method by matching and comparing land characteristics with land suitability class criteria so that to obtain land suitability classes for peanut plants in Rantau Selatan District, Labuhanbatu Regency, there were 6 sample points so that the determination of soil characteristics values for soil samples was carried out using a soil drill tool. at a depth of 0-60 cm. Research results for peanut plants in Pardamean Village, Rantau Selatan District according to marginal / S3. Land suitability for peanut plants cultivated in Rantau Selatan District Labuhanbatu Regency 2.017 ha. The actual land suitability class for peanut plants is Nwa, while the potential land suitability class is S2tcwa.Keywords: Land Evaluation, Peanut Plants, Rantau Selatan, Labuhanbatu

This article introduces a 2011 Master’s thesis that undertook two objectives. First, it assesses whether the Coastal First Nations, a coalition of First Nations on the coast of British Columbia, have acquired a share of governmental decision-making authority for three types of decisions: land use zones, ecosystem-based management (EBM) operating rules, and approval of operational plans. Second, it provides an overview of the unique government-to-government process that evolved for the resource management for British Columbia’s North and Central Coast, and the framework for shared decision-making that has been established between the Crown and the Coastal First Nations regarding the three land use planning decisions under investigation.
