The two-part manual is designed as a source of information to aid University of Wisconsin Extension Faculty in helping citizens understand land use problems and to assist in the development of work plans, resource allocation, program priorities, and budget preparation. Part I describes the rationale for land use planning and identifies and discusses critical state land resources. It describes communities where land use education takes place, explains land use planning, discusses planning for critical resources and the potential relationship to a comprehensive plan, notes how to implement a land use plan, explains administrative land use programs, and discusses program evaluation and extension programming. Part II contains an annotated listing of materials useful in developing land use programs. Organized by the subjects outlined in Part I, Part II lists approximately 475 Wisconsin Extension, University of Wisconsin, state of Wisconsin, and other state/federal publications and classifies them according to audience appropriateness. The entries include author, title, publication information, source, and, for audio-visual materials, time and cost. Appendices include eight case studies reported by Extension agents involved with land use planning at the county level, and a list of materials available from other state governments and inter-governmental organizations.
