jectives  of this seminar  are:

land  use.

ate  use  to  extension  workers  concerned  with  public  policies
regarding  land  use.

grams for  examination  and  discussion.  Specially  selected  individuals

stimulate  discussion  by  raising  pertinent  questions  concerning  the
appropriateness  and  effectiveness  of  the  content  and  methods  in  the
programs presented.
