Identification of Land Use Attributes

Land use involves the management and modification of natural environment or wilderness into built environment such as settlements and semi natural habitats such as arable fields, pastures, and managed woods. Land use by humans has a long history, first emerging more than 10 thousand years ago. It has been defined as the purposes and activities through which people interact with land and terrestrial ecosystems and as the total of arrangements, activities, and inputs that people undertake in a certain land type”. Land use is one of the most important drivers of global environmental change. Land use practices vary considerably across the world. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization Water Development Division explains that Land use concerns the products and or benefits obtained from use of the land as well as the land management actions activities carried out by humans to produce those products and benefits. As of the early 1990s, about 13 of the Earth was considered arable land, with 26 in pasture, 32 forests and woodland, and 1.5 urban areas. Land change modeling can be used to predict and assess future shifts in land use. As Albert Guttenberg 1959 wrote many years ago, Land use is a key term in the language of city planning. Commonly, political jurisdictions will undertake land use planning and regulate the use of land in an attempt to avoid land use conflicts. Land use plans are implemented through land division and use ordinances and regulations, such as zoning regulations. Management consulting firms and non governmental organizations will frequently seek to influence these regulations before they are codified.
