COMBINATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INTO LAND USE PLANNING IN MO DUC DISTRICT - QUANG NGAI PROVINCE

Abstract

Land-use planning is a strategy of appropriately managing the use of land resources. However, there would be numerous factors derived from nature, economics and society potentially affecting implementation of the land use planning. Therefore, the sustainable use of land resources can only be achieved through a combination of economic, social and environmental factors into land-use planning. The assessment of the environmental status coupled with environmental matrix methods and scoring methods allows us to pick out investigated factors having most negative impact on land use and land use planning in Mo Duc - Quang Ngai. Thereby, the current study was conducted to incorporate the economic, social and environmental factors as well as introduce a multiple criteria approach into implementation of land use planning in the district.
