2. Tools for Land Use Conflicts
 Accounts
 Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA)
 Action Impact Matrix (AIM)
 Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA)
 Spatial Analysis

Assessments for Land Use Conflicts
 Sustainability Impact Assessment (SIA)
 Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)
 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
 Land Use Conflict Risk Assessment (LUCRA)
 Indicators Based Assessment (IBA)

3. Mitigation and management
methods of land use conflicts
 Sustainability Impact Assessment (SIA)
 Exploring the impacts of the plans, strategies, policies
etc.
 Consider long term-short term effects
 Stakeholder involvement
 Six land use sectors: agriculture, forestry, nature
conservation, transport infrastructure, energy and tourism.
 Example Project; SENSOR - Sustainability Impact
Assessment:
Tools for Environmental, Social and Economic Effects of
Multifunctional Land Use in European Regions;
“Allows the user to simulate the impacts of fundamental
changes of policy orientation”

4. Mitigation and management
methods of land use conflicts
 Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)
 Systematic assessment of the environmental effects of
strategic land use related plans and programs.
 Strategic plans,
- land-use plans for future development
- general development plans (local or national)
 Land Use Plan in Pizek-Strakonice (Czech Republic)
- these two towns located in
South Czechia are in the process
of merging.

5. Mitigation and management
methods of land use conflicts
 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
 Ensure that environmental consequences of projects at the early stages
 Public participation
 Set up a programme for monitoring the potential impacts
 Establish reporting and mitigation response procedures
 Mainly using spatial analysis, multi criteria analysis and AIM

6. Mitigation and management
methods of land use conflicts
 Land Use Conflict Risk Assessment (LUCRA)
 Assist landholders, developers and regulators to avoid and
manage land use conflicts
 Primary focus on agricultural development
 Identify and address potential land use conflict issues
before a new land use proceeds
 Key steps;
 Gathering information about land use changes and activities
 Evaluate the risk level of activities
 Identify the risk reduction management strategies
 Record LUCRA Results

7. Mitigation and management
methods of land use conflicts
 Indicators Based Assessment
 May include text, maps, graphic and tabular data
 Build and organized on a broader set of indicators than
accounts are used
 Indicators chosen systematically and selectively allowing
better coverage of the issue under assessment
 Transparent
 Can be used in land-use planning, management and
measuring impacts of selected indicators.
Example: Indicator Based Assessment of Land-use Planning in
Wroclaw region.

8. Tools for analysing
land use conflicts
 Accounts
 Construction of row data,
converted to a common unit
 Overall performance
 Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA)
 Main tool for economic and
financial assessment
 Monetary valuation methods
 Applied to assessments of land
use allication decisions
 Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA)
 Provides techniques for comparing
and ranking different outcomes
 Useful in situations when a single
criterion approach like CBA falls
short
 Action Impact Matrix (AIM)
 Helping to find out the Win-win policies
and projects
 Analysing economic, environmental and
social interactions
 Identify the key issues and linkages
 Suggest action priorities

9. Tools for analysing
land use conflicts
 Spatial Analysis
 Using GIS is indispensable for strategies that deal with land
use planning, coastal zone management, natural resource
management, biodiversity conservation, urban planning or
any other decisions about the allocation and management
of land
 LEAC project (ETC-LUSI, European Topic Centre on Land
Use and Spatial Information). LEAC is based on a powerful
methodology that allows the spatial analysis of land cover
change through all the European territory
