PUP 424 TEST 2 Questions with Answers
(100% Correct Answers)
Land Cover Answer: Surface on which activities take place
Land Utilization Answer: action taking place on land (commercial/agriculture)
Land use intensity Answer: - measure of human activity(
quantity/characteristics)
-intensification of resources
- land use change increases intensity
Subjective land use analysis Answer: - have big impact on sustainability
Land Hungry development Answer: spralw land growth outpaces pop growth
due to high demand for larger homes. (increasing land use intensity)
Land Use Planning Answer: goal is to ensure high quality land development
that maximizes benefits and minimizes damage
3 categories of Land Use Analysis Answer: - class of current land use (what
exists today)
- land suitability ( what would go best)
- impacts of proposed land use change
What has a big impact on suitability? Answer: subjective analysis
Land Classification Answer: to separate human activities of different intensity
levels.
Bartholomew Classification System (1955) Answer: - 1st land us classification
system
- 2 level based on land survey approach
, 2

standards
- contains five dimensions
5 dimensions of (LBCS) Answer: 1) Site - is it developed? or developing?
(physical character of land)
2) Structure - is there a structure or roads? (structure type of land)
3) Function - reflects econ function (types establishments on land)
4) Activity - describes human use of land
5) ownership - reflects ownership (private or public)
Parcel Plat Maps Answer: describe parcel locations and dimensions
Pin #s and lists ownership, structures
Land Data Base Answer: similar to parcel plat map but in computer form.
Relational Data Base Answer: contain multiple "related" tables
- related with key field (connects tables in database)
- tables can be joined by key field.
Types of Relationships for Relational Data Base Answer: - one to one ( pin
matches in different tables)
- one to many/ many to one
Land Mapping Answer: visually presenting the spatial distance of land classes
