Regional land use planning in the Yukon has a long and unfortunate history of failed
efforts. Under Chapter 11 of the Yukon First Nations Umbrella Final Agreement, a new
process for planning has been in place since 1993. Through qualitative, interview-based
research, I explore possible factors that either hinder or facilitate successful planning. I
used the North Yukon regional land use planning effort as a case study example of the
first plan to be successfully approved in Yukon history. A number of challenges resulting
from poorly defined roles and responsibilities caused notable struggles and conflict
throughout the process, but fortunately, strong political support and micro and meso –
level organization, combined with a solid team of skilled and dedicated people, allowed
the process to ultimately succeed. Lessons learned and recommendations for future
regional planning initiatives are discussed.
