Urban Pressure on Rural Land

Kathryn A. Ziemetz

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1980, vol. 02 RDP, issue 2

Abstract: Land is a limited resource. To allocate this resource among competing uses, it is necessary to understand the demands for land, the supply, and the processes through which the supply is allocated. Past and present settlement patterns provide clues for identifying the factors influencing land-use trends and also act as constraints on future land-use patterns. At the same time, new pressures are evolving that may greatly modify land-use patterns.
