Perencanaan dan Tata-kelola Sumberdaya Bumi
Berikut ini disampaikan Dokumen Agenda 21/1992 Bab 10 mengenai Perencanaan dan Tata-kelola Sumberdaya Bumi secara terpadu. Ini meliputi wilayah beserta tanah, mineral, air dan biota yang ada di dalamnya. Pembicaraan berkaitan dengan (a) aspek perencanaan dan tatakelola dengan penerbitan kebijakan dan piranti penunjang kebijakan; penguatan sistem; penerapan metode dan alat tepat guna; peningkatan kesadaran publik dan partisipasi publik; (b) pengembangan data dan informasi mengenai sumberdaya bumi; (c) koordinasi dan kerjasama internasional dengan sistem regional sebagai basis; (d) pengujian temuan riset melalui proyek-proyek rintisan.
10.1. Land is normally defined as a physical entity in
terms of its topography and spatial nature; a broader integrative view also
includes natural resources: the soils, minerals, water and biota that the land comprises.
These components are organized in ecosystems which provide a variety of
services essential to the maintenance of the integrity of life-support systems
and the productive capacity of the environment. Land resources are used in ways
that take advantage of all these characteristics. Land is a finite resource,
while the natural resources it supports can vary over time and according to management
conditions and uses. Expanding human requirements and economic activities are placing
ever increasing pressures on land resources, creating competition and conflicts
and resulting in suboptimal use of both land and land resources. If, in the
future, human requirements are to be met in a sustainable manner, it is now
essential to resolve these conflicts and move towards more effective and
efficient use of land and its natural resources. Integrated physical and
land-use planning and management is an eminently practical way to achieve this.
By examining all uses of land in an integrated manner, it makes it possible to
minimize conflicts, to make the most efficient trade-offs and to link social
and economic development with environmental protection and enhancement, thus helping
to achieve the objectives of sustainable development. The essence of the
integrated approach finds expression in the coordination of the sectoral
planning and management activities concerned with the various aspects of land
use and land resources.
