Overview
Boundary setting is the process of defining the geographic borders of an integrated land use initiative and determining where the initiative is implemented, who is involved, and how it will be governed. There are many crucial factors that need to be considered in determining the boundaries of an integrated land use initiative, including existing jurisdictional, ecological, and social boundaries. The boundary should create an area large enough to deliver multiple functions to a diverse group of stakeholders, but not so large as to be unmanageable. Developing boundaries with key stakeholders is crucial in order to avoid conflict and improve program legitimacy.
