What are other purposes of land use? why have they assumed significance today?
Answers
Land use is the way the natural environment is utilized by human beings without causing any harm to the ecological balance.
It is done to build useful areas like landfills, agricultural fields, places fit for human settlement and so on.
The land is maintained by implementing regulations on the working committees.
Land is used by man to build structures for his own shelter, as well as to set up structures which are useful for his survival and sustenance. He uses land for agriculture – growing of crops, which are used as food. Animals are reared on land which gives him meat, milk and eggs. Wells are dug up on land, which provides him water for drinking and agriculture.
Land is a limited commodity while human population grows at an alarming pace. Hence diligent use of land resources has assumed significance in recent decades.
