Prince Edward Island National Park is a narrow coastal strip on the Island's north shore, established in 1937 as a recreational seaside park. The purpose of the Park within Parks Canada's representative system plan is to protect an example of the Maritime Plain natural region, in particular the coastal barrier beaches and dune systems. The agency's ability to protect the Park's resources is being inhibited by the popularity of the beaches as recreational destinations, and the cumulative impact of visitor pressure, Park developments, and Park practices threatens the sustainability of the Park ecosystem. This study addresses the concern over cumulative environmental impacts in the Park and includes an introduction on cumulative effects assessment, an extensive literature review, and assessment of cumulative effects of previous, current, and proposed developments in the Park. The significance of the impacts on key resources is discussed and mitigation measures are suggested with regard to natural habitat, aquatic systems, flora, and fauna. Recommendations are made for preserving park habitat and establishing monitoring programs.

The urgent need to enhance sustainable development in developing countries has never been greater: poverty levels are growing, land conversions are uncontrolled, and there is rapid loss of biodiversity through land use change. This timely book highlights the need for integrated assessment tools for developing countries, considering the long-term impacts of decisions taken today. The success of land use policies has in the past often been hampered by the fact that we simply do not know enough about their impact on sustainable development across developing countries. This book contributes to bridging this knowledge gap whilst facilitating the successful design and implementation of land use policies. The challenge of land use changes in response to changes in the policy environment – macro policy, agricultural and forest policy, environmental policy – is explored with a focus on the South. Detailed case studies encompassing seven countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America are presented via a common framework of analysis. In each case, sustainable development concerns are identified from environmental, economic and social perspectives. The interrelated causes of these problems are analysed by identifying key drivers and relevant land use policies, and the potential impact of prioritized land use policies are then discussed. This important book will prove invaluable to academics, researchers, postgraduate students and policy makers concerned with land-use planning, sustainable development and environmental studies.

The causes, consequences and control of land use change have become topics of enormous importance in contemporary society. Not only is urban land use and sprawl a hot-button issue, but issues of rural land use have also been in the headlines. Policy makers and citizens are starting to realize that many environmental and economic issues have the question of land use at their very core. Comprising papers from a conference sponsored by the Northeast Regional Center for Rural Development, Land Use Problems and Conflicts draws together some of the most up-to-date research in this area. Sections are devoted to problems in the United States and Europe, the consequences of such problems, land use-related data and alternative solutions to conflict. With a lineup including some of the best scholarship on this subject to date, this volume will be of use to those studying environmental and land use issues in addition to policy makers and economists.
