Gauthier H. (land use theory)

Gauthier H.'s land use theory emphasizes how land development patterns are shaped by economic, political, and social factors. It explores how landowners, developers, and government policies interact to influence where and how land is used, aiming to balance growth with sustainability. The theory underscores that land use is not solely driven by individual choices but is affected by broader systemic forces, infrastructure, and planning regulations, leading to different patterns such as concentrated urban areas or spread-out rural developments. Ultimately, it seeks to understand and guide efficient, equitable land utilization within communities.
