What kind of „Land‟ issues in RR

•Integrated RR „meets‟ and has to involve „land‟ issues as well

•Often GAP between Water- and Land- „world‟…

•Who are the „Land‟ stakeholders, involve them

•Do you need lands for RR ……..?! for re-

meandering, wetlands, technical facilities, dikes,…

•How to achieve that : Expropriate, voluntary purchase, land exchange, agreements with farmers,

•Other relations : nutrients, water quality, WFD,…

•…………………

Land use planning

•Is equivalent to spatial planning, physical planning

•Exists on several levels, national, regional/county, municipality

•Needs early contacts with authorities, responsible for land use planning

•National/County land use plans for major RR plans

•Municipality lands use plans for local RR changes

•Early coordination leads to understanding, support and decisions

Land development tools (1)

•Land development tools exist in many countries, in a variety of scope, scale, level…

•Basically this concernes projects, initiated by a Land Agency and/or farmers and/or Municipality, with the objectives to improve :

•agricultural structure and parcellation, plus additional rural infrastructural improvements like roads, local water measures, recreation facilities, landscaping, eco-corridors,

•and „change of function‟ to create wetlands, forestation, waterreservoirs,…

25 november 2011


Land development tools (2)

•From simple/small to complex/integrated :

•Simple, small, voluntary, agricultural land exchange projects

•More integrated, planned, voluntary land consolidation projects

•Integrated, legal Land development projects

•Land development to facilitate the implementation of large infrastructural (and a.o. hydro-power-) projects

•Land banking IN and/or apart from these projects

25 november 2011


Land banking

•Concerns systematic purchasing, swapping / exchanging, selling rural lands by a public or private organisation for realising landbank objectives:

•Objectives could be : arrange/buy/swap lands for new functions like additional forestation, water reser

voirs, wetlands, nature development areas, land-

scaping, eco-corridors, roads, water-measures, etc.

•Different types of landbanks ; IN-side land development project or as separate tool outside land development projects ;

public and/or private/enterpreneural
