“…On the other hand, controlling the ongoing sealing of green spaces is a traditional and more pressing planning challenge to combat climate change. Regardless of the exact definition and concrete measurement of this new land take ( Vrebos et al 2017) and also some Member States have added (more or less) concrete legal objectives to their policy goals in this regard (Schatz/Bovet/Lieder et al 2021), such as Belgium (Halleux/Marcinczak/van der Krabben 2012; Buitelaar/Leinfelder 2020), France (Jehling/Hecht 2022), Austria (Meinel/Schumacher/Behnisch et al 2019;Kanonier 2020), Poland (Stacherzak/Hełdak/Hájek et al 2019) and the Czech Republic (Vejchodská/Pelucha 2019).…”

Planning practice is confronted with seemingly contradictory challenges, such as the qualitative and quantitative provision of housing paired with reducing land consumption. To address this apparent dilemma, legislators are increasingly relying on densification. However, a fundamental prerequisite (and often a significant challenge) for this is the availability of the land required. Recent planning law reforms in Germany and Switzerland aim to increase the effectiveness and speed at which land is made available for inner development, thus meeting the seemingly conflicting planning policy goals. This paper compares recent legislative efforts in Germany and Switzerland using the comparative law method. The German Building Land Mobilization Act includes amendments to the Building Code (Baugesetzbuch) and the Building Use Ordinance (Baunutzungsverordnung), intended to enable faster activation of building land and the creation of more affordable housing. To this end, the amendment expands existing instruments for the activation of building land and introduces simplifications to the planning law. In Switzerland, the Spatial Planning Act has been partially revised to achieve inner urban development through precise regulations on the expansion of building zones and instruments to ensure the implementation of zoning plans.

“…An example is the requirements for a mix of certain types of residential land uses within an urban area. Another example of a qualitative land policy goal is locating land conversion to land least fertile for agriculture (Vejchodská and Pelucha 2019). Goals for densification (Dembski et al 2020;Debrunner and Hartmann 2020) also have qualitative aspects besides the quantitative one.…”

“…Charges and taxes are also instruments pursuing different purposes. Environmental charges, such as the charge for land loss (Nuissl and Schroeter-Schlaack 2009; Vejchodská and Pelucha 2019), primarily attempt to preserve land of high agricultural quality or environmental value. These instruments aim to increase efficiency with an implicit assumption that land preservation is at particular locations more valuable to society than development.…”

Land policy influences how and by whom land is used; therefore, it impacts the efficiency and equity of land use. This paper offers an economic perspective on efficiency and equity as fundamental purposes of planning and land policy. It brings a highly needed mutual understanding between planning and economics, whilst acknowledging the limitations of the theoretical concepts of efficiency and equity in their real-world applications. The paper also provides a solid ground for analysing trade-offs between efficiency and equity of land policy interventions. Situations minimising trade-offs should be of particular interest as they provide opportunities for improvements without necessary sacrifices.

“…The development of cities and infrastructure is often observed in areas with high-quality cropland, which as a consequence, leads to irreversible losses in the productivity of agriculture, such as in the European Union (van der Putten et al, 2018;Vejchodská and Pelucha, 2019). The European landscape is, to a large extent, dominated by crops.…”

Changes from agricultural land to non-agricultural land are continuously occurring, especially in areas adjacent to cities. Land changes from agricultural to non-agricultural land will eliminate crops’ hydrological function, impacting rivers, including the Cirasea River. Besides, changes in agricultural land have an impact on the resulting agricultural productivity and income. This study’s main objective is to determine land area changes, productivity, and farmers’ income in 2011 - 2018 in the Cirasea watershed. A literature study was applied to this study. Secondary data were obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics of Ciparay, Ibun, Kertasari, Majalaya, Pacet, and Paseh Districts, Bandung Regency in Cirasea River Upstream. The study results showed an increase in land area, productivity, and agricultural income for vegetables (75%, 50%, and 68%, respectively) and rice field (16%, 0.32%, and 0.32%). In addition, there was a decrease in land area followed by a decrease in agricultural productivity and income for fruit commodities (-88%, -35%, -33%) and plantations (-97%, -1%, -1%). For eight years, farmers have relied on their income from vegetable commodities in Cirasea Watershed.
