A ~OCT 2 5 19881This report contains a proposed comprehensive land use 0 planning process for Army installations, along with a broad review of the theories, techniques, and history of master planning in general and an analysis of Army master planning. It addresses the following questions: (1) What tools are available to implement land use planning? (2) How does (should) the Army master planning process work? (3) Which regulations affect Army master planning? (4) What type of comprehensive land use planning implementation process will meet Army installations' needs, given the findings from the previous three questions?Based on the findings from the questions, the report has three recommendations. 1.Create a standard installation land use planning process, incorporating recent revisions to Army Regulation (AR) 210-20, Master Planning for Army Installations, and replacing conflicting or obsolete standards with state-of-theart planning techniques.2. Assemble references from the many related ARs and guidance documents into one users' guide, to be used as a single reference for installation master planners and MACOM reviewers. An appendix includes a preliminary effort to list the applicable regulations. 3.At some future time, codify the related ARs into a subject-indexed code that reflects that standard land use planning process.

REPORT NUMBER AEPI AEPI-IFP-0802Fannounced the imp leme ntation of an ecosys tem manageme nt app roa.ch fo r the management of in stallation lands in a 1994 Policy Memorandum from the Offi ce of the Und er Secretary of Defense. The installation Inte gra.ted Natural Resources Manage ment Plan is th e tool for implementi ng ecosystem management. To date, th ere has bee n no retrospective review across 000 of implementation of ecosystem management. The Legacy Resou rce Management Program and DASA(ESOH) sup ported the Army Environmental Policy Institu te in studying ecosyste m management imple me ntation and providing reco mmendatio ns for improvement strategies and adj ustments to current DoD ecosys tem manage ment policy and S ervice guidance.Without thi s ex.aminati on, subs~q u ent policy ex.pressions by senior leadership will lack a sound basis. The goal of th is study is to provide ins ights into the level of ecosystem manage ment imp leme nted a.c ros s the mili tary Services. The objectives inelude pe rformi ng a gap anal ysis of the individu al military Services' co nservation po licy, regulatio ns, and gu id ance to determine if th ey carry th rou gh the re quirements s et out by DoDI 411 5.3; developing a protocol to evaluate ec osystem management imp lementation; and applyin g the pro tocol through case study.
