THIS ARTICLE IS CONCERNED WITH THE USE BY THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES OF MEASURES ASSOCIATED WITH THE AUTHORISATION OF THE USE OF LAND FOR DEVELOPMENT, AND HARMONISATION OF LAND USE PLANNING PROCEDURES, AS A MEANS OF ACHIEVING ENVIRONMENTAL PROCTECTION OBJECTIVES. IT CONCENTRATES ESPECIALLY ON THE DIRECTIVE ADOPTED IN 1985 ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF PROJECTS, COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE EIA DIRECTIVE. THE RATIONALE OF THE EC ENVIRONMENT POLICY, THE FOCUS ON LAND USE PLANNING MEASURES AND THE PLACE OF THE EIA DIRECTIVE WITHIN THEM IS DISCUSSED; AND CHANGES TO THE DIRECTIVE RESULTING FROM NEGOTIATIONS PRIOR TO ADOPTION, ASPECTS OF INCORPORATION INTO NATIONAL PLANNING LEGISLATION AND POSSIBLE IMPACT ARE ALSO CONSIDERED.

AbstractPresent provisions for controls over land development in the U. S. are causing dissatisfaction among many groups. Although New York has no single, official statewide development plan, it has removed certain areas from local control and has adopted legislation concerning agricultural lands, tidal wetlands, Adirondack Park and forest preserves, and siting of public utility facilities.

Lack of formal security of land tenure is often cited as a constraint for participatory land management programmes which try to motivate African farmers to grow trees and to realize other improvements in their fields in order to control soil erosion. According to this approach, the borrowing of land would represent an insecure form of land tenure hindering sustainable land use. However, on the basis of a case study in Burkina Faso, this article demonstrates that this is not necessarily so: borrowing arrangements may play a part in avoiding local overload of the carrying capacity and in an efficient distribution of village lands among the farming units. Furthermore, borrowing does not hinder some major intensification techniques of land use which are currently being applied in Burkina Faso. Legal interventions which aim to increase security of tenure and to create favourable conditions for sustainable land use may in fact have the opposite effect.

Legislation on cropping is to regulate the relations pertaining to the cultivation, establishment of crop areas, rational use of farms, protection of soil and improvement of crop and intensive livestock production. However, there is a lack of enforcement and lead to disagree with crop and herder farmers. In this study, the consequences of enforcing the law were to suggest a scientifically-oriented approach. According to the results of the survey, crop farms in Darkhan-Uul aimag are crowded in one place and over 200 hectares are expected to undermine the stability of the landscape. Some provisions for the implementation of the Law on Crops are: 24.2 and 24.4 tend to conflict with herders and farmers. Consequently, ecologically and adapted land management measures are essential.

Undivided colonial India experienced an accelerated rate of economic change in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Official policies and funds combined with private entrepreneurial energies and investment to intensify India's linkages with the world market in trade, industry, agriculture, and natural resource extraction. Slow, but in the long term steady, population expansion accompanied this trend. After 1947, economic development accelerated under five-year plans in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, and transformed the earlier colonial economy. Population figures have similarly shot up since partition and independence. These two linked trends have accompanied steadily intensifying human intervention in the natural environment of the subcontinent over the same time. One effect, among others, has been dramatic alteration in land use and vegetation cover. Comparing Francis Buchanan's early nineteenth-century descriptions of the countryside in both north and south India with the appearance of these areas today suggests just how sweeping these changes have been. The landscape of today in virtually every Indian district is very different from that seen two hundred or even hundred years ago.
