➣ Uses of Land

The land is used for different purposes such as agriculture, forestry, mining, building houses, roads and setting up of industries. This is commonly termed as Land use.

Physical Factors determining the use of land- topography, soil, climate, minerals and availability of water.

Human Factors that are human determinants of land use pattern- population and technology. Land can also be classified into private land and community land on the basis of ownership. Private land owned by individuals whereas community land is owned by the community for common uses such as the collection of fodder, fruits, nuts or medicinal herbs. Another name for community lands is common property resources. Even though people’s demands are ever growing availability of land is limited thus leading people to encroach land to build commercial areas, shopping complexes in urban areas and to expand agricultural land in rural areas. This expansion of agriculture and construction activities also lead to major threats like land degradation, landslides, soil erosion and desertification.
