QUESTION 3
An Integrated Regional Land Use Plan (IRLUP)is an example of spatial planning that deals with
several Land Use aspects. IRLUPsare significant in regional planning and development. The
Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform is in the process of finalising an IRLUP for
Region Z. Against the above, answer the following questions:
(a) During the constituency workshop, the community identified several competing land
uses, notably, "Settlement versus Craping& livestock". Using bullets, propose at least
four (4) possible solutions to these competing land uses.
(4)
(b) The Fortaleza River in a particular region has been born of contention between several
land uses due to competing activities, notably tourism, fishing, grazing, irrigation, and
community water absorption. The indigenous communities primarily depend on this
river for livelihood. Due to competing land use activities, this needs urgent practical and
long-term solutions, which must also benefit every competing land use activity. How
will you remedy this situation from a spatial planning perspective? In addition, support
your discussion with a self-explanatory diagram. (note 15 marksfor a self-explanatory
diagram).
