Germany has notable land management and planning traditions. As part of their formal responsibilities, local governments have powers to regulate and structure their areas and landscapes through land-use planning. They use it to prepare and guide land-uses for development purposes in Municipalities. This study presents the Bavarian experience of land-use planning in relation to public administration. The study emanated from a research conducted at Technische Universität München and funded by the GERMAN ACADEMIC EXCHANGE SERVICE. It uses data from semi-structured interviews with land management experts, Mayors and public administrators at different levels of public administration. The authors used these interviews to discern the scope, nature and role of public administration of land-uses at either the local or regional scale. It led to four findings. The two major ones being that: first, based on good governance principles, there are contradictions in the administration of land-use planning in Germany. Second, there are no harmonised criteria for assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of land-use planning administration. By way of recommendation, it suggests an Efficiency Assessment Criteria and Method of land-use planning through public administration, among others suggestions.
