Explanation:
Land is utilized by human beings for various purposes, for e.g. agriculture, settlement, mining, setting up of industries, etc. such utilization of land is known as Land Use.
the use of land is determined both by physical factors such as topography, climate, soil types as well as human factors such as population density, technological capability and culture and traditions etc.The amounts of land used for each purpose are constantly changing
Land use can be influenced by many factors -
physical - soil fertility, soil drainage, slope angle, aspect, scenery, mineral potential etc.
economic - distance from markets, demand for different uses.
social - population size, legislation, government policies
The biggest single land use change in the UK is the growth of residential areas (see image, right).
Housing density (number of dwellings/hectare) has a huge impact on the land use pressure. A bigger housing density means less land is used.
Low density development (less than 20-25 dwellings per hectare) is unlikely to sustain local services or public transport, creating increased dependence on car use. The government proposes to set minimum densities for new development and to oppose low density developments.
