An attempt has been taken to identify the major causes of traffic congestion along with existing system deficiencies, their consequences, and finally a policy options are recommended on Chittagong Metropolitan City. For the study primary data were collected through questionnaire survey and secondary data were used from various sources. The collected data were analyzed by using statistical techniques. It was found that rapid growth of population, inefficient land use pattern, indiscriminate roadside uses, past urban development trends and inadequate land use planning are responsible for traffic congestion in the city area. Lack of coordination and integration of concerned institutions is one of the major system deficiencies of traffic congestion situation in the study area. Opinion survey revealed that the overall quality of transportation system of Chittagong city is unsatisfactory. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cujbs.v3i1.13415 The Chittagong Univ. J. B.

Bangladesh is a land scarce country where per capita cultivated land is only 12.5 decimals. It is claimed that every year about one percent of farm land in the country is being converted to non-agricultural uses. The study is based mainly on field survey covering 2 villages (Narikel Baria and Baze Silinda) from 10 sub-urban villages around Rajshahi City Corporation under Paba Upazila of Rajshahi district. The study area was selected purposively and the respondents of this research work were selected randomly. The major focus was on to mention the general land use pattern of the area, estimates the agricultural land conversion besides determining the causes and consequences affecting such conversion. Both Narikel Baria and Baze Silinda villages were selected as study area because of its relatively higher growth in infrastructure. In order to fulfill the goal of this study, primary and secondary data were collected from various sources and to analyze and process of collected data the SPSS, Excel and Arc GIS software were used. Different types of descriptive statistics were applied for representing the analyzed data. It is observed that the land conversion form agriculture to non-agriculture allied in recent time is more than the previous time due to gradually increasing land demand in housing and relevant services which invites adverse impact on agricultural land as well as its dependent population. So, it is necessary to take integrated land-use planning to offer better options for the fulfillment of land demand both of housing and agricultural sectors.

Many developing countries do not focus on land use planning in hydropower development. As a result hydropower projects are not sustainable. The aim of the study is to analyze the cause and effects of land use planning in hydropower development. The primary and secondary data were collected in a case study site at the Upper Tamakoshi Hydroelectric Project (UTHEP) in Dolakha district of Nepal. Household questionnaire, key informants? interviews and field observation were conducted to collect primary data while the relevant documents such as detailed feasibility report, property valuation report and spatial data (cadastral data, image etc.) were also collected for the study. The primary and secondary data reveals that Land use changes involved in the UTHEP implementation is basically due to the permanent and temporary land acquisition for project structures, facilities and reservoir area. The total land acquired for various project components like access road, powerhouse, desanding basin, reservoir as well as construction borrow pits and quarries, temporary and permanent work camps and construction of access road is estimated to be 182 ha. The secondary data reveals that 66 ha are allocated in agricultural land, 78 ha in forest land and 38 ha in the barren and cliff land. The results from secondary data and interviews confirm that UTHEP has planned to distribute 10% share to the residents of Dolakha district to promote local level investment. Finally, the study finds that land use planning has very important role for minimizing negative social and environmental effects thus create sustainability of the hydropower projects. It is also found that overall environmental impacts are limited because of technological development such as tunnel and underground powerhouse in UTHEP. The land tenure, Land use planning stakeholders and their role, Governance, policy, social structure etc. are the basic requirements of land use planning for sustainable development of hydropower projects.

Mining has two broad side-effects which may be considered degrading to the environment. The first is the environmental effects of the change on the land-use from forest or cropland to degraded wasteland due to the improper dumping of overburden; and the second, which is partially linked to the first, is the displacement of whole villages comprised of families who have husbanded their crops and animals, and lived symbiotically with the forest for centuries if not millenia. This paper is concerned mainly with the first and only partially with the second as this is the subject of a separate paper. This paper outlines methods of estimation of the quantum of degradation caused by mining taking a long-term perspective of the last 50 (to 100) years and the next 50 years. The types of mines listed include a very wide variety including coal mines, bauxite mines, iron-ore mines, manganese, zinc, chromite, asbestos, granite, sandstone, copper, silver, gold and one uranium mine. Oil drilling maybe considered another form of mining or extracting fossil fuels. All these forms of extracting metals, non-metals, rocks, carbons, and hydro-carbons are included under the broad purview of'mining’. Secondary data will need to be obtained from various governmental departments on the numbers of mines which have been opened both before Independence and after in order to establish parameters. In addition data on families displaced, land acquired, land-use before and after will also be obtained. After making meaningful categories primary data on a parsimonious sample of each category and each type of mining (extraction) will be carried out to use as estimators of the parameters. The case study of the Piparar coal mine illustrates the difficulties and the inaccuracies that may be encountered when using average estimators. Notwithstanding these difficulties, on account of the fact that mining has been the cause for a great deal of the environmental degradation in India, it is important that fresh estimates should be made.

Kegiatan wisata bahari di Pulau Maratua memiliki beberapa permasalahan, yaitu kurangnya pemahaman pelaku usaha mengenai kewajiban izin lokasi perairan, kurangnya infrastruktur pendukungwisata bahari, dan rendahnya nilai penerimaan negara yang diperoleh oleh Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan (KKP). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kontribusi izin lokasi perairan kegiatan wisata bahari di Kawasan Strategis Nasional Tertentu (KSNT) Pulau Maratua terhadap PNBP yang diterima oleh KKP. Penelitian dilakukan di seluruh perairan KSNT Pulau Maratua pada bulan April 2019 sampai dengan bulan Maret 2020 dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Pengumpulan data diperoleh dari 15 (lima belas) pelaku usaha wisata bahari. Data primer dikumpulkan melalui wawancara untuk menggali informasi mengenai kewajiban izin lokasi perairan, kegiatan wisata bahari dan pembayaran PNBP, sedangkan data sekunder didapatkan dari kepustakaan dengan mempelajariliteratur, peraturan perundang-undangan, dan laporan yang berhubungan dengan penelitian ini. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa kegiatanyang dilakukan KKP untuk meningkatkan pemahaman pelaku usaha dengan melakukan sosialisasi perizinan pemanfaatan ruang laut, pengambilan keterangan, dan pembukaan loket pelayanan perizinanbelum mampu menggerakkan seluruh pelaku usaha wisata bahari untuk mengajukan izin lokasi perairan. Selama kurun waktu 1 (satu) tahun hanya 40 % atau sebanyak 6 (enam) pelaku usaha dari total 15(lima belas) yang telah mengajukan permohonan dan mendapatkan izin lokasi perairan dari Menteri Kelautan dan Perikanan dengan nilai PNBP sebesar Rp238.200.000,00. Oleh karena itu, untuk meningkatkan kontribusi PNBP, perlu dilakukan sosialisasi dan pembinaan yang lebih intensif, perbaikan inovasi dan kualitas pelayanan perizinan, peningkatan kompetensi sumber daya manusia, pengelolaan PNBP, menetapkan target dan optimalisasi realisasi PNBP, dan pemberian sanksi.Title: The Water Location Permit as the Non-Tax State Revenue (NTSR): Case Study on Marine Tourism in Maratua Island Marine tourism on Maratua Island has been suffered from several problems, including less understanding of water location permit, lack of adequate infrastructure of marine tourism, and small amount of non-tax state revenue (NTSR) earned by Ministry for Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) This study aimed to determine the contribution of National Strategic Spesific Area (NSSA) permit to NTSR earned by MMAF. The study was conducted on all waters of NSSA in Maratua Island fromApril 2019 to March 2020 with a qualitative approach. Primary data were collected through interviews from 15 (fifteen) marine tourism entrepreneurs to explore more information on the compulsory oflocation permit, marine tourism activities and NTSR. Secondary data were collected from literature study, regulations, and relevant reports. Data were analyzed with qualitative descriptive method. The results found that MMAF efforts to provide more understanding on water location permit, information gathering, and permit offices have not been able to encourage all marine tourism entrepreneurs to apply water location permit. There were only 40% in 1 (one) year or 6 (six) from a total of 15 (fifteen) entrepreneurs who submitted application and obtained water location permit from the MMAF.Total amount of NTSR collected from those application was IDR238,200,000.00. Therefore, in order to raisethis revenue, it is necessary to provide more intensive assistance, innovation, better quality of permit services, human resource empowerment, management of NTSR, optimum target and expenditure ofNTSR, and punishment for breaches of permit regulation.

This paper aims to establish a methodology for urban land use planning and management that provides an insight into the hierarchy of priorities between a large number of activities for planning actions, thus contributing to the concept of energy-efficient housing. This methodology includes three aspects of sustainable development: Economic, ecologic, and social, which serve as an overall criterion within which urban planners could make assessments of planned activities. The assessments are the core of the methodology—every aspect is assessed by concerning its costs, consequences on the urban environment, and the effects on the citizens’ quality of life. Ten experts were involved to prove the methodology’s effectiveness. As a result, a hierarchy between the activities is created, which would help an urban planner prioritize and order further activities. The applicability of the hierarchy was tested through a simulation of a reconstruction process of a collective housing area in New Belgrade, Serbia, from the view-point of land use and accessibility. This methodology contributes to the creation of the prioritized groups of activities, and a finalized hierarchy of the activities, while its application is seen in the process of making urban plans, and defining recommendations for its implementation.

This study will discuss the inequality of infrastructure development in terms of various aspects such as road conditions, clean water, solid waste, education, worship, and health. The purpose of this research is to determine the condition of infrastructure development that is not evenly distributed in the Banjarnegara district so that a strategy can be formulated to overcome this problem. The method used is descriptive qualitative using primary data obtained directly through a survey to show how the state of the existing infrastructure and secondary data. The results of this study indicate that inequality in infrastructure development occurs in almost all aspects. Three important and main aspects that must be addressed immediately are related to the construction or repair of road infrastructure because it is the mobility for all community movements to carry out their activities to make it smooth and easy, so that the development of an area is also easy to do. The second is increasing the number of clean water connection service coverage, and the third is handling solid waste management. If this is not done immediately, it will lead to even wider inequality in infrastructure development in the Banjarnegara district considering that infrastructure is also the key to driving economic growth and improving the quality of people's welfare.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to identify compatibilities of land-use patterns resulting from adjacent functions within the rural commune of Oleśnica. The analysis was made based on the relevant studies of conditions and directions of spatial planning, as well as a field inventory. The results of the studies show that the applicable planning document became a potential source of spatial conflicts. On these grounds, a negative assessment was given to the functioning spatial planning system, which, according to the premises of spatial order and sustainable development, should prevent them. The existing incompatibilities are the result of issues with coordination of the local spatial policies. As a consequence, they cause an urban development chaos, lack of proper space shaping, environmental damage and lower the residents‘ quality of life.

The orderly growth of Nigerian urban areas is strategically moderated by hierarchic development control instruments of the three tiers of government. The design and construction of buildings for a variety of purposes are carefully managed by urban and regional planners, architects, and engineers among others, usually aid in the enforcement of development regulatory apparatus. This paper appraises development control abuses apparent in some selected neighborhoods of Kano metropolis, as well as their effects on the quality of the built environment. A case study qualitative research approach was applied to evaluate land use breaches in the study area using secondary data accessed from a statutory development control agency, Kano state Urban Planning and Development Authority (KNUPDA) over a twenty-year period. The research outcome shows that majority of the planned developments contravened in one way or the other, which manifests in over development through encroachment on setbacks, structures exceeding allowable floor area and change of land use. This implies the incapacitation of such organs to decisively contain urban sprawl, which may not be unconnected with the high deficit of serviced plots to meet the demand of building activities. Building contraventions gradually compromise the level of excellence of the built environment, especially its aesthetics, which leads to dysfunctional human abode, where privacy, fire protection, and natural ventilation are specifically dislodged. Therefore, a re-examination of the physical development process, product, and participants becomes imperative.
