This proposal sets forth a framework for the organization and development of planning
tools and techniques that support informed land use decision making. It is a proposal
to provide a prototypical example of integrated landscape planning and assessment in
one of the most threatened ecosystems in Canada. In doing so, the results of the study
will serve as a precursor to the development of an integrated plan for the region.

The intent of the project is to examine the connections between land use activities and
the consequent stresses on ecological, visual/cultural, and economic resources of the
area. In order to support land use planning in the area, the study will develop a suite of
computer-based simulation models which examine the multi-sectoral impacts of different future land use scenarios. A range of alternative future scenarios will identify possible regional futures, some of which represent an emphasis on single sector interests, while others seek more of a balance among interests. Scenarios will have a
conservation, agriculture, or maximum urban development emphasis as well as various
balanced alternatives that seek to accommodate a variety of ecological and development requirements.
The work will have two major thrusts; namely, the development of a defensive strategy of conservation and an offensive strategy of development accommodation. The defensive strategy will identify which areas must be protected, conserved and linked in order to maintain ecological integrity. The offensive strategy will identify how to best accommodate projected growth and development. In this way, both conservation and development objectives may be balanced in a manner that best meets their differing
needs.
