Rising Land Conflicts Spark Urgent Need for Sustainable Resource Management
Land is limited, and there is growing pressure and conflicts over how to use it. To prevent degradation and disputes, proper land management and planning are crucial. Different types of conflicts can arise during land management, and each situation requires a unique conflict management plan. Since the 1950s, governments have implemented various policies for land resource management. Land use planning helps implement land management by evaluating land. Modern land use planning focuses on efficiency, fairness, and sustainability. To achieve these goals, participatory and integrated approaches are needed to manage land resources sustainably.
