Background and Rational :

The faculty of environmental management has been merging or utilizing the concept of socio-economic development with scientific experiment. On these concepts, various models and concepts were emerged and applied in different fields. For the case of land use planning, different agencies and organizations are involved for the sustainable development issues. But, the case environmental based land use planning is very innovative and new methodology which was developed by the faculty of environmental management for development of society. From the discussion with experts of different fields and international students from Nepal, Indonesia, Vietnam, USA, and Lao, the concept of environmental based land use planning is very essential for policy making process of developing countries and it is very much related the issues of global warming and sustainable development.

Realizing the important of environmental based land use planning, the faculty of environmental management is going to organize the international training program on this concept. Due to high equipped lab facilities and GIS environment, the venue of the faculty is the right place to organize the international training and it also reduces necessary expenses. The faulty is trying to link other agencies or organizations to collaborate on this concept.
