land use classifications

Land use classifications categorize how land is primarily utilized by people, helping to plan and manage areas effectively. Examples include residential (homes), commercial (businesses and shops), industrial (factories and warehouses), agricultural (farms and orchards), recreational (parks and sports fields), and conservation (protected natural areas). These classifications guide development, zoning, and environmental preservation, ensuring land is used efficiently and sustainably. They reflect the activities and functions that dominate a particular area, fostering organized growth and protecting natural resources.
