Land Use Patterns

Land use patterns refer to how different areas of land are designated and utilized for specific purposes, such as residential (homes), commercial (businesses), industrial (factories), agricultural (farms), recreational (parks), and conservation (natural reserves). These patterns develop based on economic, social, environmental, and planning factors, shaping the layout of towns and cities. Understanding land use helps in managing growth, preserving resources, and ensuring sustainable development, creating organized spaces that meet community needs while balancing development with environmental protection.
