The Environmental/Land- Use Planning
specialization offers an opportunity for students to focus on
environmental/natural resource areas or land use planning with an emphasis
on the use of technology to monitor trends of community growth and change.

economic forecasts. The
foundation of the land use planning process is the assignment of proposed
land use categories to those areas slated for conservation, development, or

uses. Land use planners need to recognize the development impacts of plans
on landowners, residents, the environment, and governmental budgets.
