ABSTRACT: This article, which is part of the North–South Legal Mapping Project, considers land law and land use in each jurisdiction on the island of Ireland. The first part provides a sketch of the basic structures of land law, identifying a remarkable level of convergence (or, more accurately, absence of divergence), which is only partially ...

LAND REFORM: LAND USE AND LAND-USE REGULATION [PDF]
Abstract This paper reports on some issues which need to be taken into account in policy towards the introduction of a land tax. The lessons are drawn from papers read at an international conference at Cambridge, Mass. The major issues include the general criteria for efficient and fair taxation; the potential overlap between land use and land tax ...

Land Use in Rural New Zealand: Spatial Land Use, Land-use Change, and Model Validation [PDF]
Land is an important social and economic resource. Knowing the spatial distribution of land use and the expected location of future land-use change is important to inform decision makers. This paper documents and validates the baseline land-use maps and the algorithm for spatial land-use change incorporated in the Land Use in Rural New Zealand model ...

Land use dynamics and the environment [PDF]
We build a benchmark framework to study optimal land use, encompassing land use activities and environmental degradation. We focus on the spatial externalities of land use as drivers of spatial patterns : even if land is immobile by nature, location's actions affect the whole space through pollution, which flows across locations resulting in both local

Uncertainties in land use data [PDF]
Abstract. This paper deals with the description and assessment of uncertainties in land use data derived from Remote Sensing observations, in the context of hydrological studies. Land use is a categorical regionalised variable reporting the main socio-economic role each location has, where the role is inferred from the pattern of occupation of land ...

Globalization of land use: distant drivers of land change and geographic displacement of land use [PDF]
Several streams of research have recently converged to identify the growing importance of distant drivers of land change, interconnections between social-ecological systems that are separated geographically, and the indirect consequences of land use changes.

Land Use/Land Cover and Accessibility: Implications of the Correlations for Land Use and Transport Planning [PDF]
Land use and transport shape our cities. The central place of integrated land use transport strategy in improving urban sustainability has been a widespread acceptance. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between land use/land cover types and transport characteristics.

The dramatic changes in land use observed in Europe in the last fifty years have generally resulted in improvement of human welfare and economic development. On the other hand, they have caused serious environmental problems. There is therefore a need for approaches that help to understand in an integrative way the economic, environmental and societal ...
