What is it about?
Land management and spatial planning always need to be responsible and sustainable. Often, one does not really know how or how much responsible a land project is, and how to measure which parts or which phases of a project are done in a good responsible manner and which parts or aspects not. This Article describes a framework for how to measure the qualification 'responsible' and how to use this framework of measurements whewn designing, implementing or evaluating land management projects.

Why is it important?
Often it is important to verfiy if one is making the right decisions in land management projects. Creating and planning roads, designing housing areas, reclaming land, registering and surveying land are all interventions which require land, mobilise land or change the status of land. How does one know if one is doing the right thing? With the 8R framework of responsible management, one has a tool to evaluate to which extent the plans, decision, activities and impacts are sufficiently responsible.
Perspectives
When researching the practice and the vision portrayed in land management and spatial planning projects, I had the feeling the term 'responsible' was not sufficiently clarified or explained. Hence, there was a need in my view to unpack this normative term and design a framework. The 8R framework of responsible land management is a first step in this direction.
