Dear Student,
The land use pattern is a function of the physical, economic and institutional framework of a country at a specific time. It is the purpose to which land is distributed, for example: protected areas, forest for commercial purposes, plantations, agriculture, pastures for grazing or human settlements.
These factors are :
physical characteristics of land,
resources like, capital and labour,
location of the land as compared to economic development
The pattern can be dissatisfying due to the following :
increase in population causing pressure on agricultural land
decrease in the forest cover
Similarly, the pattern can be satisfying ,if the land is best assorted after understanding of the ecosystem, its organisms and natural processes.

Satisfying:
(i) Mountains are source to many streams and rivers, some of them are perennial. These regions have very high potential for hydro electricity productions, etc and also sites for eco-tourism.
(ii) Plateaus are mostly laden with minerals, fossil fuels and forest, etc so are economically most productive.
(iii) Plains are most important land resource for human beings. These are fertile and most of the food crops etc are grown here and also for economic use it is exploited for development of factories, roads etc.
But all these advantages should be exploited sustain-ably.
Dissatisfying:
i) The land under permanent pasture has decreased.
ii) Forest area of the country is far lower than the desired 33% of the geographical area, as it was outlined in the National Forest Policy (1952).
iii) Some human activities such as deforestation, overgrazing, mining and quarrying have contributed to the degradation of about 130 million hectares of land in India.
Hope it helped you
