land use inventory

A land use inventory is a detailed record of how land in a specific area is used. It identifies and documents different types of land cover such as residential, commercial, agricultural, forested, or undeveloped areas. This information helps planners, policymakers, and environmentalists understand current land utilization, monitor changes over time, and make informed decisions about development, conservation, and resource management. Essentially, it provides a snapshot of a region's land use patterns to support sustainable planning and ensure land is used efficiently and responsibly.
