When you look around our school, how are we using the land?
We may be using it for crops, homes, businesses, or green space. Before we build, we should plan for the best use of the land.• Today we will: – Identify major categories of land use– Evaluate considerations for land use planning,
including ecological benefits– Discuss advantages and disadvantages of land
use planning in general and in energy production
– Compare and contrast land use policy trends within the state

Think about where you live.
What would be the impacts on
your environment (water, land,
animals) if the following were
built?
• Residential-building homes• Agricultural-crops, rangeland• Commercial-businesses• Industrial-energy plants• Institutional-school or hospital• Recreational-parks or hunting areas

Ecological Benefits
• When planning for land use, we should consider the Ecological Benefits.
• Ecological benefits occur when the environment is improved.

Considering Ecological BenefitsWhen you plan for each of the following, how is our environment impacted positively or negatively?
• Residential-building homes• Agricultural-crops, rangeland• Commercial-businesses• Industrial-energy plants• Institutional-school or hospital• Recreational-parks or hunting areas

Advantages and Disadvantages
• Brainstorm the advantages of land use planning
• Now consider the disadvantages to NOT planning

Poor planning can result in what some would call a Concrete Jungle…..

A Master Planned
Community is one where every
aspect is planned before building occurs.

Land Use Planning & Energy Production
Decisions affecting land use directly affect energy use and the consequent production of greenhouse gases, primarily because of the strong relationship between where we live and work and our transportation needs.
The body of research on the impact of land use on energy and climate is receiving significantly more attention with the growing interest in climate change.
This impact policy in states—laws are passed to ensure that we consider opportunities and barriers to integrated energy and land use planning.

Activity… Plan your own community
• If you were given a large, open area of land near where you live, what would you plan?
• Be sure to plan for all the categories we discussed keeping in mind the ecological benefits.
