Couldn't this be merged/redirred to zoning?
I agree. Be bold. older≠ wiser 01:10, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
I'm not sure if it should be merged with zoning. I think Zoning is formalised land use (when Govt/Local councils puts it in their district plans), but I think the term land use is more general. I think land use also applies to how land patterns occur naturally in cities without zoning. But I'm just a student studying for an exam tommorrow, so I'm not 100% sure on this topic.
Nah, 'Zoning' is a very distinct method of planning in some countries, whereas land use encompasses use of land independantly of land use planning. Bjrobinson 15:09, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
In the US, every legal activity must have its place in municipal and county zoning laws. Meaning if an adult entertainment facility can legally operate in a given jurisdiction, then the zoning laws must offer a proper and by-right zone for that business to operate within.
To regulate what can be built and where, cities create comprehensive plans and zoning ordinances to create an order to the potential uses of land within their political boundaries. A municipality will spend thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to determine where best to encourage industrial growth, allow residential building and permit commercial activity. These decisions have impacts on land values, safety and community interests. The process of determining what can be built where has become extremely politicized.
Some active community groups wield much strength in the public land use approval process. Politics plays a part in the approval process.
With the approval process being susceptible to public pressure and politics, there is now a subset of political culture known as land use politics.
Patterns of land use arise naturally in a culture through customs and practices, but land use may also be formally regulated by land use planning through zoning and planning permission laws, or by private agreements such as restrictive covenants. For example, the setting aside of wilderness either publicly as a Wilderness Area or privately as a conservation easement.
I just wanted to draw attention to the fact that the English land use article is linked to the German article Flaechenverbrauch; However, land use means something completely different. What do I have to do so this article gets linked to Landnutzung, which comes closes to being equivalent? Discosu ( talk) 09:04, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

The example map ( Image:Europe land use map.png) seems bogus to me. Specifically, the large cropland areas are mostly missing – it seems correct for Skåne, but the other areas which are just mile after mile of farmland (NW Västergötland, parts of Dalsland, Uppland ...) are marked as forest. Also, large areas around the mountains in Norway and Sweden are marked as "grassland or pasture". That seems excessive. JöG ( talk) 21:06, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
"According to a report by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organisation, land degradation has been exacerbated where there has been an absence of any land use planning, or of its orderly execution, or the existence of financial or legal incentives that have led to the wrong land use decisions, or one-sided central planning leading to over-utilization of the land resources - for instance for immediate production at all costs. As a consequence the result has often been misery for large segments of the local population and destruction of valuable ecosystems. Such narrow approaches should be replaced by a technique for the planning and management of land resources that is integrated and holistic and where land users are central. This will ensure the long-term quality of the land for human use, the prevention or resolution of social conflicts related to land use, and the conservation of ecosystems of high biodiversity value."
It is entirely unclear to me what parts of this paragraph stem from the uncited FAO report and which parts are simply the opinion of the author. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.134.136.139 ( talk) 15:11, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
