for inLligenous anLl/or disadvantaged popubtions impacted by public or private
land-use decisions.

(3) Ensure opportunity for preservation of cultural heritage where threatened by
public or major private land-use decisions.

Each goal is further supported by one or more targets which exp.ress intermediate
goals of highest priority, with greater specificity and a time frame for implementation.
The development and adoption of these land-use-rebted goals and targets is the first
step in defining a land-use planning program. The statem~nt of goals in these broad
? areas-environment, economic development, natural resources, and social concerns-becomes
. the initial guidance for developing programs at the State, regional, and local levels.

institutional development.

are consistent with and relevant to future needs.

(7) Broad citizen awareness, involvement, and support are sought at all levels
of the system.
(8) Land-use program capability is developed at the local and regional levels.
