The global trend toward increased agricultural production puts pressure on undeveloped areas, raising the question of how to optimally allocate land. Land-use change has recently been linked to a number of human health outcomes, but these are not routinely considered in land-use decision making. We review examples of planners’ currently used strategies to evaluate land use and present a conceptual model of optimal land use that incorporates health outcomes. We then present a framework for evaluating the health outcomes of land-use scenarios that can be used by decision makers in an integrated approach to land-use planning.

将健康成果纳入土地使用规划。

全球农业生产增长的趋势给欠发达地区带来了压力，提出了如何优化分配土地的问题。土地用途的变化最近已与许多人类健康结果相关联，但在土地用途决策中并未常规考虑这些结果。我们回顾了规划人员当前用于评估土地利用的策略的示例，并提出了一个包含健康结果的最佳土地利用的概念模型。然后，我们提出了一个评估土地利用情景的健康结果的框架，决策者可以在综合的土地利用规划方法中使用该框架。
