Land Use Graphs Bar Graphs The graphs show the results that were expected from the land use questionnaires. In the tables, the trend in the graphs show the total’s and average’s over 147 years. Rapidly changing human activity within the Stratford since 1867 to this present day puts huge pressures on the natural environment's ability to adapt and change. These may be further complicated by the influences of climate change, such as extremes in weather. These bar graphs above show the changes in land use over one hundred and forty seven years. Maintaining a balance between urban development and natural systems is essential to ensure that, for example, soils are still able to buffer potential contaminants or that ground stability is sustainable for buildings and infrastructure. The land in 1867 was mostly being used for agricultural as farming was key to the primary industry. In 1916 the residential business has increased rapidly as an increase in human activity has resulted in a need for new homes. Then in this present day the industrial industry took a rapid boost as machinery was needed to provide a safe, efficient transport link (hub) for civilians. Land Use Graphs Line Graphs The graph shows the results that were expected from the land use questionnaire. In the tables, the trend in the graphs show the total’s and average’s over 147 years. This graph show the work on the previous page put into a different perspective; to show the trends and tolls each land use has taken over 147 years. As each industry has increased and decreased; the line graphs above show where the industries were in three different points over 147 years.

For instance, in most pre-industrial European cities, the centre was much more consequential than the periphery, eminently in terms of convivial status. The Burgess concentric model is consequently partially inverted. • There were an abundance of spatial differences in terms of ethnic, convivial and occupational status, while there were low occurrences of the functional differences in land use patterns. The concentric model postulated a spatial disunion of place of work and place of residence, which was not generalized until the twentieth century. However, the Burgess model remains utilizable as a concept explicating concentric urban development, as a way to introduce the involution of urban land use and to explicate urban magnification in American cities in the early-mid 20th century.
As the international community focuses on climate change as the great crisis of our era, it is ignoring another looming problem: the global crisis in land use. Seed Magazine

Within public health sciences there has been a tendency to ascribe much geographical variation to compositional differences, and until recently there has been resistance towards contextual explanations. Contextual explanations of health are frequently rejected due to the fear of falling prey to the ecological fallacy. The ecological fallacy deduces that relationships observed at an aggregate level will be observed in the same direction and magnitude at the individual level. When observing the relationship between the health of African Americans and residential segregation, what may be true for large groups measured in the aggregate may not hold true on the individual level. Not all individuals are displaced as a result of gentrification and not all of those that are displaced remain in a situation where they are destitute.
The number of people per sq. km of land area in Italy in 2011 was 206.44. Over a fifty year span, Italy reached a maximum value of 206.44 in 2011, and a minimum of 171.83 in 1961. There are about 200 people living in every square kilometer of land area. However, due to th...
An example of this would be the impact that land had on the industrial revolution. The resources found during the expansion of land were used in the process of the industrialization and modernization of America, and without it, the United States would not be the same place it is today. Resources that were commonly found in America such as metals and wood were used in machines and architectural projects. Along with resources, technology was being built because of the challenges people faced when traveling westward. Inventions such as the steel plow and windmills were essential for farmers living out west, and to this day are used by farmers across America. Barbed wire, another important invention during westward expansion, was a substitute for regular wood fencing since the Great Plains had a lack of forests, and was used to protect their farmland and prevent their cattle from escaping. (US History). The expansion of land also influenced the methods of transportation used in America. “In 1800, the only practical way to travel and trade across long distances was along the nation’s natural waterways. As a result, settlement clung to the nation’s coasts and rivers. A few roads connected major cities, but travel on them was difficult and time consuming.” (AM History). But later on, as the US began expanding westward, steamboats and
Started from the 1950s, the movement that many post-war cities expanded outward to form a mass migration from the center of the city surrounded by low-density suburban living patterns generally referred to as "urban sprawl." The problems posed by the...

The idea's initiation began in Britain and Europe as a result of the Industrial revolution that took place in the late 19th century. Neighborhood concepts are created for social and communication purposes so travel distance becomes closer to other major facilities such as schools, kindergartens, and residential areas. Main traffic is not recommended across residential areas, while the population density of up to 50 people can make the area an effective center of excellence. Schools are also used as a center of attention for neighborhood planning. The approach to designing the city to provide a comfortable, and clean environment emerges to address the problems in the city. In 1898, Sir Ebenezer Howard
In Ernest W. Burgess’s “The Growth of the City: An Introduction to a Research Project,” (1925), the author delves deep into the processes that go into the construction of a modern city or urban environment. Burgess lists its following qualities: skyscrapers, the department store, the newspaper, shopping malls, etc. (p. 154). Burgess also includes social work as being part of a modern urban environment. This is supported by his construction model based on concentric circles that divided Chicago into five zones. The first was called a center loop meant for a business district. Secondly, there was an area for business and light manufacture. Third, there was a “zone for working men’s homes” (p. 156). The fourth is the residential area of high-class apartment buildings. The fifth is where suburban houses are located.

Land, the “stage” on which all human activities are carried out, is the solid part of the earth on which plants grow and buildings are constructed. It is one of the numerous natural resources found on planet Earth utilized by man in many ways for various uses or purposes. The uses to which land is put differ from place to place and include among others, agriculture, mining, grazing, construction, logging. To some people, the terms ‘Landuse’ and ‘Landcover’ are different yet closely linked characteristics of the Earth’s surface while to others, they mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably.
In the early nineteenth century, during the Industrial Revolution, Americans gradually began selling their farms and trading the common suburban life with the adventurous fast-pace urban life. Today the majority of the American population chooses to dwell in cities, towns or suburbs; however, there are still many families living the country lifestyle. What influences an individual to select one way of living over another? The area in which one's home is located has effects on their way of life. Urban living and suburban living both have advantages and disadvantages, and these characteristics are what greatly influences peoples' decisions about where they should live.
