Abstract: Land use efficiency is an important parameter of the region’s welfare as concerns its economic growth. The study examines the overviews related to the loss in economic development in Kelantan State which is a result of maladaptive land use decades from 1965 to 2024. There is a desire to see how land policies have been shifting throughout time in relation to economic development and which ones stimulate it. Besides the other problems, land use optimisation has become a challenging issue for the State of Kelantan as the State faces both established traditional agricultural methods and current development initiatives. Improper land distribution, underdevelopment of necessary physical structures, and failure to carry out sustainable ventures are the primary impediments to economic development. This overview focuses on the problem statement: which had brought Kelantan backward economically growth wise. Possible outcome from the investigation of past performance and programs may be in the same follow as there are correlation between inefficient land use and economy slump, involvement of political factors in land allocation and environmental impacts caused by unnatural practices. To address these complexities, the following suggestions may be considered: Integrated frameworks of land use planning, promotion of sustainable agricultural practices, infrastructure development investment, and implementation of sustainable governance mechanisms to ensure the efficiency of land distribution and utilization. Last but not least; reducing the land-use inefficiencies is the key to achieving the aspirations of Kelantan state high economic growth. Embracing all-around goals and mixing socio-economic and environmental elements can help Kelantan to be a pioneer of sustainable development in the future.
