Idaho Joint Land Use Study FINAL A Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) is a planning process accomplished through the collaborative efforts of a comprehensive group of stakeholders in a defined study area. These stakeholders include local, state, and federal officials; residents and landowners; business representatives; Native American tribal governments; and the military. By working together, these stakeholders can identify current and future compatibility issues, discuss existing plans and programs, and identify compatible land use and management strategies and actions that can be used in the areas adjacent to military installations and use areas to help prevent or reduce encroachment issues associated with current and future military missions and local growth.
