The primary use of the land, including both rural and urban activities.
Land use describes the activities that occur on land, such as agriculture, energy production, human settlements, transport, forestry, mining and conservation.
The classification of land according to how it is used; for example, agriculture, industrial, residential, urban, rural, or commercial. Natural features of the land such as forestry, pastureland, brush land and bodies of water are also often classifies in this manner.
Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Urban, Agricultural : As people move into an area they convert the natural surroundings to other uses and each of these uses is given a name. Agricultural: refers to natural surroundings that have been converted to the production of crops or domestic animals. Urban : refers to land that is not used for agricultural purposes and it is divided into: Residential: where people live, low density use is 1-2 homes per acre, while high density is 15 homes/acre. Commercial & Industrial: where people work. examples include shopping centers, hotels, motels, resorts, business parks, factories. Recreation: parks and golf courses.
Refers to the use of land (often the category of use) by humans.
Describes how a piece of land is managed or used by humans. The degree to which the land reflects human activities (e.g., residential and industrial development, roads, mining, timber harvesting, agriculture, grazing, etc.).
The type of activity that is actually occurring on the land (i.e. residential, commercial, industrial or farmland etc.)
The degree to which the land reflects human activities (e.g., residential and industrial development, roads, mining, timber harvesting, agriculture, grazing, etc.). Land use describes how a piece of land is managed or used by humans. Land use is generally locally regulated in the U.S. based on zoning and other regulations. Land use mapping differs from land cover mapping in that it is not always obvious what the land use is from visual inspection.
How people use the Earth's surface (e.g., urban, rural, agricultural, range, forest); often subdivided into specific uses (e.g., retail, low-density housing, industrial).
specific use or management-related activity, rather than the vegetation or cover of the land. The categories of land use are cropland, developed water resource, fish and wildlife habitat, forestry, industrial/commercial, pasture land (or land occasionally cut for hay), recreation, residential, and undeveloped land.
Manner of construction and activity the land is used for, e.g., commercial, open space, or residential purposes.
Typically a group of similar on-the-ground human uses described as a single category. (see Appendix B for a listing of Land Uses within the study area).
The way land is developed and used in terms of the kinds of anthropogenic activities that occur (e.g. agriculture, residential areas, industrial areas).
The way in which humans use the earth's surface. Uses are classified as urban, rural, agricultural, forested, etc., with more specific sub-classifications useful for specific purposes.
the human employment of land; includes settlements, cultivation, pasture, rangeland, and recreation, among others.
refers to how land is utilized by humans, as in agricultural land use, urban development, or mining.
The character and condition of the use of land and which may be described in terms of general categories, such as residential, commercial, industrial, and open space, or with reference to the specific use of development of a specific site.
The intended or actual human activities that characterize a specific land area, such as agricultural, industrial, commercial, and residential.
Land use means the type of use to which land is put, e.g. industrial, residential, agricultural.
The total of arrangements, activities, and inputs undertaken in a certain land cover type (a set of human actions). The social and economic purposes for which land is managed (e.g., grazing, timber extraction, conservation).
General term used to describe how land is or may be uti-lized or developed, whether for industrial, commercial, residential or agricultural purposes, or as open space.
Refers to how land and the structures (development) on it are used, i.e., commercial, residential, retail, industrial, etc.
The way in which land is used, such as residential, commercial, institutional, parking, park or vacant.
the purpose an area of the Earth is put to (e.g., agriculture, forestry, urban dwellings, or transportation corridors) or its character (e.g., swamp, grassland, or desert)
Refers to how land within a community is utilized. Some examples of land uses include urban, suburban, commercial (businesses/shopping districts), agricultural (farming), or natural areas.
The way land is developed and used in terms of the kinds of activities allowed (agriculture, residences, industries, etc.) and the size of buildings and structures permitted. Certain kinds of pollution problems are often associated with particular land-use practices, such as sedimentation from construction activities, oil and grease from streets and highways, and pesticides from agricultural lands and urban parks.
Refers to the manner in which portions of land or the structures on them are used; i.e, commercial, residential, retail, industrial, etc.
Human activities and structures associated with various parcels of land.
The way specific portions of land or the structures on them are used. Example land uses includes commercial, residential, industrial, retail, agricultural, vacant, etc.
Land uses determined for a given area that establish the types of activities allowed (e.g., mining, agriculture, timber production, residential, industrial).
The use of land constitutes a decisive factor as to whether the environment of an area will be healthy or not. In general, land can have such management so that matters of human safety, aesthetics, air and water purity and generally the equilibrium of the ecosystems are taken into consideration.
the way land is developed through anthropogenic (human) activities; includes residential, industrial and agricultural areas.
Land use is the activity for which land is used.
