ABSTRACT
The changing aspects of land use and land cover especially cropping pattern is affected through bio-physical, socio-economic and ecological drivers. Land use and land cover analysis is an interdisciplinary approach to analyse the different problems that can be identified through scientific and cultural study and it is more decisive for qualitative and quantitative evaluation. land use of an area depends upon soil, climate, hydrological characteristics and prevailing socio-economic conditions. The man-land relationship is well developed in the rural environment where cultivation forms the primary occupation of the people. This research paper mainly focuses on socio economic drivers that play a major role in transforming current land

28). India is said to be a country of villagers. About 80 % of its population lives in villages and 60 % people derive their means of livelihood directly from agriculture, so the need of village survey is of vital importance. Rural India is still being characterized by the trinity of agrarian economy, poverty and illiteracy (Singh, 2001). These are made more prominent by ever increasing population and impenetrable social and cultural practices. In this context geographical methods of survey, interpretation and analysis gain greater importance in solving rural land use problems, and to save the country from further choose. Land use is the result of a continuous field of tension created between available resources and human needs and acted upon by human effort. Thus land use of an area depends upon soil, climate, hydrological characteristics and prevailing socio-economic conditions. The man-land relationship is well developed in the rural environment where cultivation forms the primary occupation of the people (Singh, 2001). It is therefore; the prime thrust of the study is to deal the functional organization over the temporal and spatial framework of the rural space
The rezoning of 125th street has been a topic of controversy and has yet to be approved. The Department of City Planning believes rezoning of 125th street will bring positive economic changes. I personally believe that these changes would negatively affect the residents and business owners of Harlem. According to the New York City’s Planning Commission, the rezoning will bring new business and housing. Residents and business owners disagree because they believe this plays a bigger role in promoting further “gentrification.” I believe that Harlem should be able to keep its cultural heritage while still promoting and modifying economic growth.
Since the beginning of European colonization whites have taken Native American’s lands in order to expand their own settlements. Throughout the years there have been many disputes and up rises because Indians have refused to give up or sell their lands. With an escalating white population, Native American communities have been disintegrated, killed in conflicts, or forced to move into Indian Territories. The year of 1828 would again demonstrate how white settlers would obtain Native American’s lands with the Cherokee Indian Removal. Known as the Trail of Tears, the Cherokees would start their tragic journey to Indian Territory in which thousands of Indians would die along the way and soon after their arrival due to illnesses or violent encounters. The Cherokee Indian Removal was not only cruel but injustice, the Cherokees shouldn’t have ceded their lands because before the removal they attempted to be “civilized” by the Americans giving up their cultural and religious beliefs and the federal government by treaty had to protect Indians from any state oppressions.
The events surrounding land rights at Noonkanbah in 1980 highlighted the contrasting ideas between the native and non-native people in Western Australia and the incredible lack of rights for aboriginal people at the time. For Western Australia, this was just the beginning of the increasing awareness to the general community of the issues created by white society to the aboriginal people and culture. As stated by Frank Gare, retiring Director of the Department of Native Affairs in 1978, “The basic trouble is that Australia as a whole does not appreciate the enormity of what disinheritance has meant to the aboriginal people... It remains to be seen if the rising Aboriginal leadership will be able to effectively convince the community at large

I think that he is trying to say that wilderness is something to be cherished and loved, because it gives definition and meaning to his life. His whole life was spent looking after and trying to preserve the wilderness. This is a plea for the preservation. I think that Leopold believes one day a lot of what we have today and he want it to be preserved so that in the future people have the chance to see there cultural inheritance like our ancestors let us see by preserving things.
NEW DIRECTIONS IN PLANNING THEORY By Susan S.

You’re hosting a party, and it’s cold outside. You’re worried about your guests feeling cozy, especially as they walk up to your front door, so you ask your daughter to help you make lanterns out of tea lights and white paper bags. When the makeshift lanterns are complete, you both place them next to your stone walkway—which looks gorgeous next to each golden light. When your guests make their way to your front door, they tell you how beautiful your walkway looks, and you feel grateful.
As agriculture has become more intensive, farmers have become capable of producing higher yields using less labour and less land. Growth of the agriculture has not, however, been an unmixed blessing. It, like every other thing, has its pros and cons. Topsoil depletion, groundwater contamination, the decline of family farms, continued neglect of the living and working conditions for farm labourers, increasing costs of production, and the disintegration of economic and social conditions in rural communities. These are the cons of the new improved agriculture.
Today talking about environmental issues lately to be like a common topic discussion until people take it for granted. However, the world facing a complex environmental problems related to each trouble that connected to one another and come out with greater impacts to the environment and humans. This is because the effects of environmental only can be seen in long term period rather than immediately result show up. Environmental issues must become one of the controversial matters in the society in order to make people know the truth what the world currently facing. There were a lot of environmental disaster happened such as climate change, global warming, various of pollutions, earthquake and etc. the rise of environmental issues begin with this urban development occur through several countries following with the technologies equip along. For sure, development will cause a huge negative impact to the environment if it deals without a care. Besides, the environment is the place in the ecosystem to hold and use in finding resources to continuously survive in this world. Thus, the finding and digging for the resources which happening extensively without preservation will not restore the surrounding similar with before. But then, the change cannot be refuse and people need to take an action to save the threaten the world and the ecosystem from being extinct. If each country has own output in causing an environmental problem, then consider the world to hold all the damage occurred. Exposing the effects of environmental issues throughout the world, make people realize the important to take care the environment.
Many individuals believe that the neighborhood defines who they are, shapes them as a person and has an impact on their life. Throughout my childhood I would hear the saying “It takes a village to raise a child.” Society feels a child has the best ability to become a healthy adult if the entire community takes an active role in contributing to the rearing of the child. I do agree based on the neighborhood environment a child is raised; it does have an impact on their life. For example, society classifies each neighborhood differently such as low-income neighborhood, middle-income neighborhood and high-income neighborhood. According to Bureau of Justice Statistics(BJS2008-2012), persons in poor households at or below the Federal Poverty Level

The philosophy of agriculture to live harmony with nature is deeply rooted in ancient agriculture and still practiced in India, China and the Andes. Organic agriculture reflects this philosophy, but the recent history of concepts such as organic, bio dynamic, natural farming and other related concepts, can be traced back to early in the 20th century. Conventional agriculture differ from organic farming in terms of usage of chemical fertilizers which increase the nutrient of the soil, usage of genetically modified seeds for better crop production as well as the use of antibiotics and hormones in animal farming. In Malaysia, the major agriculture crop productions are rice, fruits and vegetables (including palm oil production). China is in the first ranking for agriculture sector followed by India and United States of America. Since organic farming is practiced by many countries, without further ado, let’s take a look on how it can affect the environment and its implementation.
The natural conservancy is an organization that is out to conserve the lands and waters on which life depends on. In this paper, I will argue that the natural conservancy organization mission statement captures the true essence of environmentalism. The mission statement of the Nature Conservancy represents the true essence of environmentalism since it recognizes the intrinsic value of all living beings while prioritizing the importance of protecting nature for future generations.
