APG 40th anniversary and EFG Workshop “The Importance of Geological Knowledge for Sustainable Land Use” Workshop Background The gap between the knowledge available in geology and the aspired land use concepts appears to be particularly large. Therefore, it is necessary to apply an appropriate geo-based land use concept. A land use concept that pursues a systemic approach and refers to an adequate extent to geo- logical knowledge provides options for future site-adequate land use as the basis for respective decision-makers or decision-making processes, not any longer conducted by political constraints or economic incentives only. Hubert Wiggering “The geology – land use – nexus”. Workshop Aim The APG 40th anniversary and EFG Workshop “The importance of geological knowledge for sustainable land use” will look at ways in which geological knowledge can contribute to the understanding and management of land use in order to provide a better decision-making and policy-planning framework.
