Department of School Of Community And Regional Planning The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date: April 1985 i i Abstract This thesis examines various approaches to public participation within rural planning. It deals with the roles rural residents, in unincorporated areas of British Columbia, can play in local planning. The thesis argues that effective planning in such areas only occurs if a rural planning approach, which considers distinctive rural characteristics, is. applied to the planning process. Such planning generally requires the active involvement of rural people. To accomplish this objective a model is constructed of how rural residents participate in planning.

  • Terrestrial Ecosystem
    Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping of the Coastal Douglas-fir Zone E 1:50,000 G A S The Integrated Land Management Bureau (ILMB) retained Madrone Environmental Services Ltd. (Madrone) S A of Duncan, B.C. to conduct Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping (TEM) for the Coastal Douglas-Fir moist maritime P E K (CDFmm) biogeoclimatic subzone. TEM consists of the stratification of landscape features into biophysical A and ecological map units reflecting climate, physiography, surficial material, bedrock geology, soil, E L N vegetation, and disturbance. I S R I E The objective of this project is to provide baseline data that can be used to support planners, scientists, and G O L L other decision makers within local, regional and provincial governments to coordinate conservation efforts, A prepare sustainable growth strategies, and promote science-based, ecologically sensitive decision making around land use within the CDFmm. The CDFmm covers approximately 252,000 hectares stretching along the east coast of Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast, the Gulf Islands and the Lower Mainland. The study area for this project did not include the Lower Mainland. A total of 200,000 hectares was mapped including the communities of: Powell River, Sechelt, Bowser, Qualicum, Parksville, Nanaimo, Ladysmith, Chemainus, Crofton, Cowichan, Greater Victoria and the Saanich Peninsula; the Gulf Islands: Thormanby, Savary, Hernando, Harwood, Texada, Lasqueti, Hornby, Denman, Gabriola, Valdes, Thetis, Kuper, Galiano and Saltspring. The thematic map displayed at left is the result of a number of queries performed on the final TEM database M to classify the mapped ecosystems into eight broad categories: old forest, mature forest, young forest, A immature forest, garry oak, non-forested, wetland and anthropogenic.
