late their interests and objectives in the dialogue”. On the basis of
sound decisions a sustainable form of land use is proposed “whereby the
aims and interests of other participating group are taken into account
to the greatest possible extent”.
Traditional rural societies have their own way of approaching prob-
lems and settling conflicts concerning land use.
In the process of land
use planning, such mechanisms have to be recognized, understood and
taken into account.
Land use planning requires transparency. Therefore, free access to
information for all participants is a prerequisite.
Land use planning is implementation-oriented. Land use planning
has to consider how the negotiated decisions are to be implemented.
Land use planning does not end with the land use plan.
The implementation of limited measures (e. g. the development of
cultivation techniques which conserve land resources) plays an impor-
tant role in increasing the trust of the people in the village as far as the
planning process is concerned.

Comprehensive Planning and Major Steps
Chances of success for any business are greatly increased when
attention is first directed to a comprehensive plan. When a land use
plan is made for any new farm the land use planners should design
a comprehensive planning. If financial assistance is necessary from
bankers, trade creditors, or investors, their first request will be to see the
total plan. With it they can visualize the creditworthiness of the farm.
There is no one sequence of steps in planning that is agreed upon by
all authorities in any field. The most important
thing in planning even
a small farm is that all phases of its operations must be considered. The
land surveyor planning a new farm should have very definite ideas about
profits, financing, accounting, records, merchandising plans, location,
market and customers, general method of operation, policies, advertis-
ing and promotion,
amount and type of expenses, break-even-point,
legal form of management, and inventory valuation methods, among
other factors.
The desired income approach to the entire planning process suggests
that the land use planner’s first question should be, “How much profit
do I expect to receive from this farm in return from investing my time,
and money in it?” This approach is based on the conviction that this
question has been neglected much too often by new farm planners. No
commitments, contracts, or obligations relative to a new farm should be
undertaken without a clear idea of what profits are possible over at least
the first year of operations.

The more we know about the circumstances around us, the better
we can prepare the farm to protect itself against different unexpected-
ness.
Using the desired income approach one should take into considera-
tion important steps in planning. To complete
a projected income state-
ment the land use planner should determine what profit he wants from
this farm, recognizing the time he will give and the investment he will
have.
With the profit figure clearly in mind, it is possible, using statistics
that are abundantly available, to calculate the production volume that
is necessary to produce that particular profit.
It is also necessary to survey and test the market. The land use plan-
ner should involve close study of the production needs of the farm and
make proper decisions on how they are to be met. Here he decides
whether to rent or buy the farm, whether to buy delivery trucks and on
what terms. He should also decide whether to hire a delivery service or
eliminate such service at all.
The land use planner is to study the location
and the particular site
chosen for specific characteristics. Too many small farms are located in
space without any analysis of the suitability of that space as a location
for the specific type of farm planned. Planners should not only study
the characteristics of the legal forms of organization, they should also
seek out the true management advantages. Merchandising plan should
be also taken into account. Merchandising is a broad term. It is popu-
larly known today as “the total marketing concept”. It covers many
things — plans for presenting
products to customers, lines of products,
sales promotion plans, and other associated activities. An adequate sys-
tem of land uses should be established. Proper land uses are, essential
to decision making by the land use planners.
