Question

List the disturbing and satisfying features of India's land use pattern.

Answer 1

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 landdecrease 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.
