Abstract
Environmental planning is the process of making appropriate time and spatial arrangements relating to people’s activities and environments according to social and economic laws, ecological and geographical theory in order to achieve sustainable development (Jin, 2014). Environmental planning endeavors to manage these processes in an effective, orderly, transparent, and equitable manner for the benefit of all constituents within such systems for both the present and the future. It is a broad field, bridging the disciplines of geology, environmental science, ecology, law, economics, and public policy.
