CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

(v)
(vi)
(vii)
The assessment of the existing problems of utilisation of natural resources.
The evaluation of the loss and fragmentation of habitats as a result of development.
The assessment of the impact of the current programmes and policies, as well as
institutional and legal measures and their effectiveness in relation to the sustainable
utilisation of natural resources in the district.
The setting of sustainability objectives and criteria for the district along with the
review of the capacity, potentials and constraints of its natural resource base to
sustain the existing and future development.
(viii) The determination of a long-term strategy best suited to facilitate the realisation of
imum level of benefits from all of the district’s natural resources along with concept
and measures of protection and enhancement of the quality of the district’s
environment, including critical habitats and the areas of high natural value and
cultural heritage.
(ix)
The preparation of a series of maps and accompanying key information showing
receptive capacity and sensitivity of the environment, as well as quantity, quality
and distribution of its component system of resources within the district.
1.6.4 Goal 4: To provide an integrative platform in legislative and administrative sphere for the
effective land use and resource management, monitoring and resolution of conflicting
demands on the use of land. This will be achieved through:

and supporting spatial analysis and modeling, especially in environmental zoning,
land capability/sustainability analysis, as well as for execution of the “what if” type of
land use scenario analysis used to examine and evaluate the consequences of
different planning scenarios.
