Land Management is normally embedded in a complex legal context, which frequently consists of contradictory objectives, such as: strengthening of rural areas, satisfying the need for affordable living and commercial space, protecting environment and health, supporting transport infrastructure development, and preserving the landscape. Land management can be understood as a process that comprises coordination of such activities while managing the use and the development of land resources. It can be counstrained by the land use specifications resulting from spatial planning process. Along with this, the legal framework often contains generally formulated concepts and open standards, which provide a range of opportunities for realization while balancing the different interests. In this process it is important if and how both constraints and opportunities are recognised by the actors. In this volume this topic is examined from various aspects: first the problems in promoting mutual understanding between researchers and the general public, but also among scientists of different disciplines; second the success requirements of land management instruments as well as unfortunate experience caused by land use changes; third covering land management costs by absorbing value increase and other trade off aspects; and fourth supporting land management by providing geodata with low-cost methods.

Land is the integrating component of all livelihoods depending on farm, forest, rangeland, or water (rivers, lakes, coastal marine) habitats. Due to varying political, social, and economic factors, the heavy use of natural resources to supply a rapidly growing global population and economy has resulted in the unintended mismanagement and degradation of land and ecosystems. 'Sustainable Land Management' provides strategic focus to the implementation of sustainable land management (SLM) components of the World Bank's development strategies. SLM is a knowledge-based procedure that integrates land, water, biodiversity, and environmental management to meet rising food and fiber demands while sustaining livelihoods and the environment. This book, aimed at policy makers, project managers, and development organization, articulates priorities for investment in SLM and natural resource management and identifies the policy, institutional, and incentive reform options that will accelerate the adoption of SLM productivity improvements and pro-poor growth.

Contributors from many disciplines and backgrounds discuss MCA as an integrated approach to land-use management. Sections cover problem structuring for land-use management; multiple perspectives, trade- offs, and the search for compromise and acceptable solutions; multiple actors and multiple perspectives in land-use decisions; spatial information and the integration of spatial analysis and multicriteria analysis; and the future of land-use management. The wide range of case studies include exotic forest plantations in South Africa, forests in the Kathmandu valley, and sustainable agriculture in Greece. No index.

Land has long been overlooked in economics. That is now changing. A substantial part of the solution to the climate crisis may lie in growing crops for fuel and using trees for storing carbon. This book investigates the potential of these options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, estimates the costs to the economy, and analyses the trade-offs with growing food. The first part presents new databases that are necessary to underpin policy-relevant research in the field of climate change while describing and critically assessing the underlying data, the methodologies used, and the first applications. Together, the new data and the extended models allow for a thorough and comprehensive analysis of a land use and climate policy. This book outlines key empirical and analytical issues associated with modelling land use and land use change in the context of global climate change policy. It places special emphasis on the economy-wide competition for land and other resources, especially; The implications of changes in land use for the cost of climate change mitigation, Land use change as a result of mitigation, and Feedback from changes in the global climate to land use. By offering synthesis and evaluation of a variety of different approaches to this challenging field of research, this book will serve as a key reference for future work in the economic analysis of land use and climate change policy.

This book contributes to broadening the interdisciplinary knowledge basis for the description, analysis and assessment of land use practices. It presents conceptual advances grounded in empirical case studies on four main themes: distal drivers, competing demands on different scales, changing food regimes and land-water competition. Competition over land ownership and use is one of the key contexts in which the effects of global change on social-ecological systems unfold. As such, understanding these rapidly changing dynamics is one of the most pressing challenges of global change research in the 21st century. This book contributes to a deeper understanding of the manifold interactions between land systems, the economics of resource production, distribution and use, as well as the logics of local livelihoods and cultural contexts. It addresses a broad readership in the geosciences, land and environmental sciences, offering them an essential reference guide to land use competition.

This book aims to systematically elaborate how land-use change directly or indirectly exerts impacts on the ability of ecosystems to provide services for human society. The relationship between land use, ecosystem services and human well-being is a hot topic, and there have been some important achievements in this field, but its continuing growth means that it warrants further research. The unique viewpoint, the scientific analysis methods and the precise language of this book make it not only a valuable guide for professors conducting research, but also a reference resource to help governments make decisions on relevant policies. Prof. Jinyan Zhan is an associate professor at the School of Environment, Beijing Normal University, China.

With urbanisation, agricultural intensification, land degradation and climate change, Europe faces increasing pressures on land use. To address these challenges, the European Union (EU) defined new targets in the Green Deal and related policies for more sustainable land management and to restore natural ecosystems. However, it is challenging to find sufficient space that is not in conflict with current land uses to implement these new management practices. Contrary to land use intensification, farmland abandonment is an ongoing process in many European regions. It is characterised by the withdrawal of farming activities on land that was initially under agricultural use. Following the cessation of management, semi-natural vegetation generally re-grows on the land, leading to positive or negative outcomes depending on the local conditions. To assess opportunities and constraints for the development of alternative management responses to farmland abandonment in Europe, with considerations for environmental benefits and trade-offs, as well as the barriers and constraints for implementation, the following research questions are examined: (1) What are the different farmland abandonment trajectories and their potential consequences (benefits and trade-offs) in different contexts? (2) What are the barriers faced by decision-makers (including landowners and policy-makers) for the implementation of these different trajectories, and what scientific knowledge is important to support decisions on the responses to farmland abandonment? This first research question is mostly addressed in Chapters 2 and 4, while the second research question is examined in Chapters 3 and 5. The introduction (Chapter 1) presents the general context for the thesis. Overall, this thesis demonstrates that there is variety of farmland abandonment trajectories, with the potential to bring a wide range of benefits, risks, and trade-offs.
