Apart from land tenure, tenure of other natural resources also needs to
be considered in land use planning. Water rights play an important role
in land use planning as the availability of water determines possible land
uses. Conversely, the determination of a certain land use may impact the
quality and quantity of water or may restrict access to it. Access of local
population to forests and forest products can also be affected by land use
planning and unintentionally result in the deterioration of livelihoods.
