Land use and urban settlement

2. What is Land use?
 Land use is simply the human use of
land.
 It is the function that humans apply to the
land available to them.
 The study of land use is the study of how
the land is managed, including how the
natural world is adapted to human needs.
It's

3. Land Use:
 Land use in the urban area is generally
conform to a regular predictable pattern
the decision to develop a pieces of land for
a particular use may be made
independently by various private
businessmen and women.
 The primary reason for allocating a
specific use for a land is purely profitable.
 The value of land will determine to a large
extent the use of such land.
 Classifying land use in the urban area is
very important in understanding the spatial

4. Urban settlement types
 Residential settlement
 Commercial settlement
 Industrial settlement
 Agricultural settlement
 Transport space

5. Residential settlement
 Residential settlement is a land used
primarily for housing, with limited
allocations for uses that are complementary
to or serve basic residential uses.
 Residential settlement has the largest share
of all urban land use.
 Residential settlement include individual
household unites, dormitories, hotels,
parks, motels, and vacant plots.
 Residential area generates the greatest
amount of garbage in the urban areas.

6. Commercial settlement
 It is surprising that commercial land use
contributes a very small proportion of land
use in the urban area (about 5%) of the total
space of the grouping.
 However, the economic impact in terms of
employment and sales far outstrip this small
space allocation.
 The commercial areas also contribute a lot
to pollution from automobile, factories and
petrochemical plants can result in
acidification of lakes resulting from air
pollution, other related diseases include
ulcers, hypertension and lungs cancer.

7. Industrial settlement
 Industrial settlements are extremely varied,
depending on the nature of the industry
being considered.
 Urban-industrial land usage generally refers
to the site of factories or petroleum
refineries, and of utilities such as electricity
generating stations, and water- and
sewage-treatment facilities.

8. Transportation Space
 Airports, streets railroads and parking
spaces are very large land users in the
urban areas.
 More than 20% of the land area of a
typical urban area is used for
transportation relatively activity.

9. Agricultural settlement
 Land uses for agriculture and forestry are
also types of industrial land uses, in this
case involved with the production of food or
tree-fiber as renewable resources.
 The nature of agricultural settlement
depends on the types of crops and
agronomic systems, which can vary from
intensively managed monocultures to more
organic systems involving annual or
perennial crops and little use of fertilizers or
pesticides.
