Land Economics

Land Economics in the context of Regional Economics studies how land use and management affect economic activities within a region. It examines how factors like location, accessibility, and resources influence property values, development patterns, and environmental sustainability. This field analyzes the trade-offs between different uses of land—such as housing, agriculture, and industry—and aims to optimize land use to enhance economic growth, social equity, and environmental quality. Ultimately, it seeks to understand the interactions between land, economy, and community well-being in a specific geographic area.
