Abstract
Land use has a natural implication, where there are synergies of different ecosystems. However, with human interventions, there are often changes in land pattern, and land use management comes into existence. Several global frameworks like Sustainable Development Goals, Paris Agreement of climate change, and Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) have emphasized the importance of incorporating land use planning in development issues, climate change issues, and disaster risk management approaches, respectively. However, the challenge remains in implementing the local level land use planning and management, which needs community ownership and involvement as well as local government’s strict guidelines and monitoring of land regulations.
