Strategic action program

The above described themes and principles, strike at the root of the major problems encountered in
the land use planning process. To be effective, they have to be translated into actions through the
formulation of programs which have to take into account the actual conditions of the environment
where they are expected to be implemented. These programs have to include:
 the adoption of a comprehensive approach that views land and water use and management and
environment in an integrated manner;
 the promotion of regional cooperation to ensure that the concerns of all parties are factored into
decisions;
 the recognition of the linkages among the different land uses;
 the encouragement of broad-based participation, including governments, professional and
research institutions and non-government organizations;
 the endorsement of a phased program of action at the national and local levels.
This regional approach makes up and outlines the body of a Strategic Action Program, which is a
critical measure for implementing priority actions at both national and local levels. The objectives
of the Strategic Action Plan are to:
 evaluate trends;
 assess causes and implications;
 provide a cost estimate for investments;
 establish a framework for monitoring and evaluating;
 identify priority actions to address key issues.
Priority selection has to follow the criteria listed below:
 ensure selectivity, in order to concentrate resources on significant problems;
 avoid duplication and overlap;
 emphasize adaptive and cost effective solutions through adaptation and/or improvement of
existing technology to specific tasks;
 select topics for investigation and research that are likely to realize the greater benefit,
considering return on investment, response time, probability of success and impact on
agricultural production.
This integrated approach is expected to bring forth clear benefits in environmental and economic
terms, a more sustainable use of land resources in agriculture and higher yields and incomes.

Concluding Remarks

 Sustainable land use planning is a process that aims to integrate ecological with socio-economic,
and political with ethical principles in the management of land, for productive and other
functions, to achieve intra – and inter – generational equity.
 For formulating and implementing policies and strategies for land use planning it is essential to
collect, process and disseminate timely and reliable information and utilize modern land
