land-use, land use — English
Any purpose for which land is used for human activity. Two distinct types of land use are recognised, namely rural and urban. Rural land use includes agriculture in the form of animal husbandry and/or crop cultivation, and recreation in many different forms such as hiking, skiing, cycling, safaris, game viewing, bird watching, ecotourism, and a totally unspecific thing called “getting away from it all”. Urban land use includes residential, educational, industrial, commercial, and professional activities and services.
