QUESTION: How is environmental management different from environmental planning?
ANSWER:
Environmental Management is the process to efficiently and systematically consume
environment by planning, operating, monitoring, improving, and enhancing, which concern saving, highest utilizing, sustainable, long-lasting, and providing most benefit to human and nature. Environmental planning on the other hand is the process of facilitating decision making to carry out land development with the consideration given to the natural environment, social, political, economic and governance factors and provides a holistic framework to achieve sustainable outcomes. A major goal of environmental planning is to create sustainable communities, which aim to conserve and protect undeveloped land.
In short, the difference between environmental planning and environmental management
is temporal: planning is about the future whereas management is about the day to day immediate actions.
