| Abstract | ||
| Cities in the developing world face increased disaster risk, and they face a high potential of ecosystem and economic losses due to natural disasters, that is why each element that contributes to natural hazards must be investigated as part of the risk assessment process. This helps identify potential hazards to which urban areas are vulnerable and assessing the vulnerability of people and ecosystems to these risks. Taking an environmental land use planning assessment focuses on how planners guide the physical and ecological shape of cities and regions through state and local policy intervention into land-use patterns and environmental protection. It is necessary to be able to assess risks, therefore the risk-sensitive land use planning assessment approach is a tool of Environmental Landuse Planning Assessment, which integrates ecosystem services and risk exposure in risk assessment not only risk exposure as traditional risk assessment approach. So, risk-sensitive land use planning assessment provides a comprehensive approach for addressing compromises between competing land uses and assisting in the support of planning and development decisions, this is through tools including geographic information systems, that are used to aid in Environmental Landuse Planning Assessment and to make it more common among policymakers as a key concept in decision-making, The research aims to propose amethodolgy for Environmental Risk Assessment that can be useful in planning and steering sustainable regulations and proposed environmental land uses planning alternatives in new communities. | ||
