The individual and society

Land use planning or land surveying is a process of managing the use and development of land resources in a sustainable way. It is essentially a study of the methods in which land use planners apply their knowledge, skills and efforts to the gifts of nature in order to satisfy their needs and wants. Effective land use planning is impossible without land information. Such information includes land resource capacity, land tenure, land ownership and land use. Even in the prosperous, economically advanced countries there is an aspect of survival. Land helps people to survive. That's why lands are very important resources for men. Some people have the abilities to sustain life without outside assistance. But a large percentage of the human race of the third world still lives in very small self-sufficient peasant communities. These people experience great poverty, but they provide on an individual basis, for their own survival. They have a degree of economic independence. The inhabitants of cities are totally incapable of providing for themselves, directly, the means of survival. Here we can observe the 6 opposite situation – a high level of living together with an extreme economic dependence. Such people depend upon the efforts and co-operation of many thousands of specialist workers, among them land use planners. Land use planning is concerned with soil sciences, law, geodesy, geography, and computer. To solve these problems land use planners must be not only qualified but profoundly educated specialists.
