The presentation discusses Japan's land use planning system, which has a hierarchical structure from the national to municipal level. It outlines the process of dividing land into categories like urban, agricultural, and forest areas at each level and establishing development controls for each. The presentation emphasizes the importance of land use planning based on analyzing land resources through maps that classify land suitability for different uses. The overall goal is to place appropriate land uses in appropriate locations.
