ABSTRACT
At national level, land use planning system is the legal framework that aims to ensure efficient, just, and sustainable organization of land use and building (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations [FAO], 1993, Finnish Ministry of the Environment [ME], 2012, March 12). A working land use planning system can be studied using a suitable functionmodelling notation (Defence Acquisition University [DAU], 2001, National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST], 1993). In our view such system even lends itself particularly well to this kind of analysis since in a legal process it is to be expected that process stages follow each other in predictable manner. In this paper we seek to expand the concept of land use planning to cover also environmental monitoring, and land use and building. The combination is called land use management.
