This volume encourages the study of complex international and multidisciplinary issues involved in international land management. Issues such as: surveying and valuation of the land; concepts of environmental issues of sustainable land development; acquiring semantic data of the land; methodologies and a comparative analysis of contemporary practices; management of the land and tools for planning and land management; land conservation; evolution of the landscape; regulation and legislation relating to land management; and cultural, human and social issues of land managment.
