[HSC04-07] Framing Land Use Sustainability Research in Future Earth Context

*Yukio HIMIYAMA1 (1.Hokkaido University of Education)

Keywords:Future Earth, land use, GLP, IHDP, IGU-LUCC

The Future Earth Initial Design issued late in 2013 emphasizes the importance of land use research related with sustainability. What are written about land use are not particularly new to land-use specialists, but what is significant is that land use is considered as a priority concern of Future Earth. The paper discusses how to frame land use sustainability research in Future Earth Context based on the achievements and experiences of IGU-LUCC (International Geographical Union Commission on Land Use/Cover Change), GLP (Global Land Project), SLUAS (Towards Sustainable Land Use in Asia Project) and others.
