In light of the discussions on relocating the capital city of Indonesia to a new location in Kalimantan, and create a new green capital city (referred to as IKN), the purpose of this meta-review paper is learn from experiences from other relocations of capital cities and creations of green cities in the world. Specific emphasis is hereby given to urban greening and gentrification. This article applies a meta-analytical approach by connecting the basic tenets of the 8R framework of responsible land management to assess the pros and cons of a selected set of capital city relocations and green cities. From the comparison, it is possible to generate general recommendations for Indonesia's new green capital city. The comparison reveals that each of the selected cases falls short in one or more aspects of the 8R framework. In all cases, constructing green capitals requires a mixed and integrated land use planning, a transparent regulatory framework toward land use control, extensive consultation with both local, national and international stakeholders, and participation with local residents. Only under these conditions, one can ensure ownership, respect and trust in the decision. The quandaries highlight the complexity of capital city relocation and green city creation. The originality lies in the specific land management framework perspective and discursive analysis of documented discourses on constructing new capital and green cities. This provides new options for devising and extending regulatory guidelines and for assigning responsibilities for such new mega-endeavors. Given the conceptual and discursive character of the paper, a limitation of the approach may be that there are no specific empirical data collected, yet several recommendations for further research include expanding the boundary work between the land management, the spatial planning and governance domains.

The development of the forester's leadership role in forest land management is compared to rising profile of land between a sea or lake shoreline and a range of mountains, the progression is upward but the rate of climb changes. No plateau is identified. Reference is made to forestry leadership in several fields of forest land management; administration, land use, planning, research, forest management, recreational land use and fish and wildlife management. It is noted that forest land management includes activities for which foresters were not academically trained and reference is made to the fact that non-foresters, e.g. biologists and geographers are giving leadership in forest land management and thus providing beneficial competition and stimulation. The most important leadership role in the future may relate to regional planning. The forestry profession is cautioned not to abdicate this field to those in other disciplines.

Abstract. In lieu of advancement in human civilization from nomadic age to quest for welfare capitalism in recent days, land resources have been one of the most sought after assets for subsequent socio-economic development. The concept of land, once only geo-political has evolved to be interdisciplinary with developmental and managerial aspects in regional and urban planning worldwide making the facets of land management more complex than ever. In the context of modern Nepal, governance in systematic land management appeared during mid-1960 only with establishment of Ministry of Land Reform (MoLR). This paper aims to provide constructive criticism upon institutional fragmentation, and fragile policy and implementation gaps in land use administration which have been bewildering the concepts of regional and urban planning in Nepal. The recitation of this work is primarily based on selected literature review of relevant research on land use planning along with two representative case studies in national context and in international scenario as well. Despite rigorous efforts, the issues of competence in land administration, migration and syndicate in urban real estate remain as the major problems in land management in Nepal. Also, the new state restructuring of federal Nepal has already upraised the challenges in land resources planning for local governments who but seem muddled up in constructing rural economy and strategic urban plan for regional development. Nevertheless, these concerns in regional and urban planning can be addressed through practice of sustainable land management with thoughtful consideration of ambiguities in land use policy and implementation.

Understanding recreation behaviour can help forest managers identify public uses of forests and gauge the extent of recreation use. This paper documents recreation behaviour in nine forest-dependent communities in British Columbia and examines three questions: (1) is outdoor recreation relevant to local residents?; (2) what are the characteristics of outdoor recreation participation?; and (3) are local residents satisfied with outdoor recreation forest management outcomes and land-use planning processes? Involvement in recreation activities was varied and longstanding. Non-motorized and motorized recreation played important roles as people’s main connection to forests. Knowing about recreationists’ satisfaction with land-use planning outcomes can help forest managers assess their success in meeting land-use objectives, and may help alleviate uncertainties in forest planning and management by reducing conflict, improving quality-of-life, and contributing to the social license of forestry activities. Key words: forest recreation; sustainable forest management; recreation participation

In 2015-2016 the State University of Land Use Planning and land management faculties of higher educational institutions released the final mass enrollment of graduates who studied “engineer” qualification for five years. Starting from 2016-2017, bachelors and masters of land management began to leave the walls of the State University of Land Use Planning and land management departments of universities. Has the division into two parts - bachelor's and master's been justified? Basically, we can say that this is an international practice and we would not want to live separately from the international community, since we study foreigners from many countries of the world who want to receive education in a Western way; in addition, our students also study abroad. But, unlike the Western baccalaureate, we remain specializations. There are profiles in the undergraduate program: land administration, land management, real estate cadastre, urban cadastre, land valuation, real estate valuation, and so on, that is students receive professional knowledge. Mastership is designed to deepen them. But it is absolutely not necessary to choose undergraduate and graduate programs in the same direction, it can be changed. If a student is not satisfied with the direction or specialization chosen before, he can correct it by studying another mastership program. One undoubted positive consequence of Russia's accession to the Bologna process is the simultaneous assumption of international obligations to maintain the wide accessibility of higher education regardless of financial situation of young people. Europe seeks to provide broad social protection in this area, where Russia has been catastrophically losing ground in recent years. The United States, with all its wealth, has never tried to positively solve this problem and is not going to accept the Bologna rules, and they have enough compelling arguments for this. First of all, do we need a bachelor degree? How will a master match with a candidate of science? Today, the heads of land surveying firms and companies, sociologists, professors of universities as well as educational and scientific institutions are discussing this problem.

Peculiarities of normative-legal provision of regulation of land relations in the context of changes to the domestic legislation are considered. The main threats facing land management specialists in planning the spatial development of territorial communities are highlighted. In addition, the features of a comprehensive plan of spatial development of the territorial community as urban planning documentation at the local level and land management documentation at the same time, as well as the concept of integrated development of the territorial community. Also, in the context of planning the spatial development of the territory and establishing restrictions on land use, the legal aspects of the functional zones of the territory proposed by the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Land Use Planning" are considered. The changes in the land legislation regarding the powers to dispose of state and communal lands, as well as the peculiarities of the use of privately owned lands have been studied. Changes to the content of the intended purpose as information of the State Land Cadastre are analyzed, taking into account changes to the regulatory support of the concept of the type of land use. The key principles of improvement and adoption of bylaws in order to harmonize the current state of regulation of land relations and future planning of spatial development of territorial communities are proposed.

In order to harmonize the existing land management documentation and documentation, which is both urban planning and land management, proposed by the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Land Use Planning", the main features of state, communal and private land use were analyzed. , their assignment to one or another category of lands, determination of the purpose and type of use within the functional zoning of the territory when planning spatial development. The basic principles of distribution (redistribution) of lands by types of use are offered taking into account requirements of the complex plan of spatial development of territories of territorial communities and the plan of zoning of the territory (zoning). The main features of these principles are taking into account restrictions on land use within certain functional zones, certain categories of land of the formed land plots, functional purpose of the territory and characteristics of the territory. The relevance of developing a classifier of types of land use, types of functional purpose of territories and the relationship between them, as well as the rules of its application with the definition of land categories and types of land use, which can be established within the relevant functional area.

In the global context, land-use policies have been considered as one of the significant aspects to obtain sustainable land management. Although this is a situation, it is not always achievable. Therefore, the critical analysis of land use policies is required. This chapter aims to understand the state of the art in land-related policies in Nepal after 1951 that contribute towards SLM. The methodology applied is the desktop review approach. The analytical framework namely sustainable land management (SLM) consisting of parameters: productivity, security, protection, viability, and acceptability, is developed. Under the basis of the SLM framework, content analysis has been carried out. The results show that although the policies take into account all the components of sustainability, the lack of implementing the integrated land use policy has triggered the questions for sustainable land management. The chapter recommends innovative approaches like parcel-based land use planning to obtain sustainable land management.

The article considers consequences of the large-scale reform of control and supervisory activities, which was informally called "regulatory guillotine", as well as a number of other high-profile innovations at the organization of land management and agrarian education. The main attention is paid to the fact that all these innovations will lead to new testing and evaluation activities of Universities, as well as to assurance that graduates of land surveying and agricultural departments should be ready to carry out their future professional activity in a new environment. Therefore, it will be necessary to clarify their competencies and update training materials.
