Land Use You need a paper off the front table.

6 Land Use

7 Urbanization Definition: the use of land to build cities, businesses and homes. Problems: Urban Crisis: overwhelming the infrastructure. Urban sprawl: rapid expansion (Suburs Development with no marginal lands : NO WHERE TO GROW!!! Pollution: air, water (urban run-off) Lack of biodiversity

8 Solutions: Land use planning: GIS (Geographic information system)
Mass transit Open space (Central park)

9 Now make the Connections
Urban crisis Urban Sprawl Development on marginal land Pollution Lack of biodiversity Land –use planning Mass Transit Open space

10 Rangelands Definition: Grazing land Problems: Overgrazing
Loss of biodiversity Soil erosion

11 Solutions: Public Rangelands Improvement ACT: gov’t rents out the land so they can keep regulations on use. Limit the number of livestock Fencing and field rotation

12 Make Connections Solutions Problems Public Rangeland improvement ACT
 Limit the number of livestock Fencing and field rotation Problems  Overgrazing  lack of biodiversity  Soil Erosion

13 Forest Lands How we use it: paper, furniture, lumber, maple syrup, turpentine, CO2 Removal Problems: Clear cutting Deforestation: for agriculture, homes and roads) Loss of biodiversity Habitat loss erosion

14 Solutions: Selective cutting reforestation

15 Recreation Definition: fun stuff Problems Litter Traffic Atv’s
Drilling, logging and urban areas too close so pollution gets in.

16 Solutions Education Buffer zones Stricter regulations

17 Drilling, logging and cities to close
Make Connections Problems  Litter Traffic ATV’s  Drilling, logging and cities to close Solutions  education Buffer zones Stricter regulations
