Abstract
Following the expansive period of the 1960s, the decade of 1970–80 witnessed a general introduction of ecology in land use planning, a new conservation attitude among planners/ politicians and the public, and an increasing demand for scientific knowledge and insight, which had formerly been largely overlooked. Environmental awareness, new types of survey methods and new systematic planning approaches were typical of this decade, which saw the development of suitability and capability maps, conflict analysis and environmental impact assessment.
