About the Journal
International Journal of Environmental Planning and Development Architecture International Journal of Environmental Planning and Development Architecture  is a peer-reviewed hybrid open-access journal launched in 2023 that focuses on all major issues related to environmental planning and development including environmental economics and legislation, its challenges, design, and risk assessment. The scope also covers other issues from environmental eco-sufficiency and related fields.
Focus & Scope
The journal welcomes contributions across the following topic areas:
- Environmental Planning & Sustainability: sustainable development frameworks, regional and urban planning, integrated policy approaches, environmental economics, environmental legislation, land-use planning and management, and spatial planning methodologies
- Land Use Planning & Management: land-use allocation and efficiency, zoning regulations, land-use suitability analysis, urbanization dynamics, land conservation strategies, land-use conflict resolution, and sustainable land management
- Environmental Impact Assessment: environmental impact assessment methodologies, risk assessment, mitigation measures, monitoring strategies, environmental compliance, ecological impact analysis, and environmental stewardship practices
- Climate Change Adaptation & Resilience: climate-resilient infrastructure, adaptation planning strategies, disaster risk reduction, community and ecosystem resilience, vulnerability assessment, adaptive capacity building, and climate-responsive policy frameworks
- Sustainable Architecture & Green Design: green building design, passive design strategies, energy-efficient architecture, renewable energy integration, natural ventilation and daylighting, green roofs and infrastructure, and sustainable material selection
- Green Building Technologies & Materials: sustainable construction methods, eco-friendly and recycled materials, low-emission materials, solar and renewable energy systems, rainwater harvesting, waste reduction strategies, and green building certification systems
- Biodiversity Conservation & Ecosystem Management: habitat protection, ecological connectivity, species conservation, ecosystem services assessment, nature-based solutions, and wildlife corridor design
