Land System Theory

Land System Theory examines how land uses and landscapes are shaped by the interaction of human activities, natural processes, and policies. It considers land as a complex system where social, economic, ecological, and technological factors influence land development, conservation, and change over time. The theory emphasizes understanding these interconnected components to manage land sustainably, address environmental challenges, and inform planning decisions. Essentially, it provides a framework for analyzing how humans and nature interact to create, modify, and sustain different types of land use and landscapes.
