land-use survey |

The investigation and cartographic representation of land use. Large-scale land-use surveys were initiated in Britain by L. Dudley Stamp in the 1930s; they involved field mapping (cf. fieldwork), but most surveys now use the technologies of remote sensing and geographical information systems for data collection, collation and display. Land-use surveys are largely descriptive exercises: their use was long advanced by geographers as the initial stage in the development of land-use plans for urban and rural areas (see applied geography). (RJJ)
