Land Use Survey
Aim
--I am doing this survey to see how the land is used in Rotherham Town
centre.
--I will see which variety and types of buildings etc shops, offices,
make up the main part of Rotherham and spot vacant shops and land use
patterns of shops, offices etc.
Hypothesis
· I think that there will be a small variety of different types of
shops because I think Rotherham Town centre is very small.
· I think that all the big brand high street chain shops e.g. W H
Smiths, will be located in the pedestrianised areas and this will be
in a small area of the Town centre because there are only a few
pedestrianised areas in town.
· I think that because Rotherham Town centre is unpopular there will
be many vacant shops and low order convenience stores.
Method
We carried out our transects, in groups for safety, in the most
popular shopping areas and the routes into the Town centre as this is
where the buildings etc that people use are found. These places were
Wellgate, Effingham Street, College Street, Doncaster Gate and High
Street.
1) We started our transects at 9:00 am for the reason that the Town
centre will be less crowded.
2) The first place we went to draw our transects was Wellgate, as it
is nearest to school, at the bottom of Mansfield Road.
3) The first transect went from Wellgate along College Street to
Effingham Street to the library as this is a popular area.
4) The second transect went from Ship Hill along High Street to
Doncaster Gate Hospital.
5) To complete the transects I used a key and noted down letters which
symbolised the different types of services available.
6) To neaten my transects I used a colour code and used squared paper.
Then I also transferred my transect onto a large A3 map of Rotherham
Town.
Interpretation of Transect
From my results I can clearly see that my hypothesizes are correct.

U.S. Public Lands are a vital part of our nation and what is stands for, but you rarely hear anything about of these lands or the creation of their units anywhere other than a bleak mention in a high school American history class where they briefly mention their conception or if you seek it out in college. The federal government owns just about 30% of all public lands in the United States, (Bureau of Land Management Lecture), which equates to almost 650 million acres, of land of all different types and terrains. The U.S. Public Lands system is divided into five major units, all owned by the federal government, all with different goals and all ran by different legislation but all still dealing with the same things: nature and the environment. When first learning about the existence of these five major units, I asked myself, why aren’t these all under the same branches, just as many other sectors of life in America. Or if anything why isn’t it up to the individual states to decide how they want their land looked after? I quickly realized was that they weren’t all created as one because each different unit has it’s owns mission’s, legislations to abide by and it’s own practices and that by owning so much land federally, the United States is able to hold more control over the individual states.
“Fat Land”, a book by Greg Cristler, a health journalist who was formerly considered overweight, explains how America became the fattest people in the world. Before writing this book, Cristler was told that he needed to lose forty pounds and so to do so he enlisted a competent doctor, the prescription weight-loss medication Meridia, jogs in a congenial neighborhood park, a wife who cooked him healthy food, and access to plenty of information. Cristler is quick to add that those weren’t the only factors that led to his weight loss, but money and time were a big part of it. Cristler lost the weight, but he states “the more I contemplated my success, the more I came to see it not as a triumph of the will, but as a triumph of my economic and social

The fashion industry has changed over a period of time due to the growth of boundaries. This is attributed to the varying dynamics of the industry; declining mass production, altered structural aspects in the supply chain, need for more affordable cost and quality. This shows that fashion retailers are able to acquire a competitive power in the market through making sure through which they get their products to the market for the consumers (McAfee, Dessain, & Sjoman, 2007). Consumers are hence able to get product easy and of high quality. Fast fashion has been able to meet the needs of consumers while trying to acquire major merchandize turnover to retailers than local rivals. The Zara case study reported sales $8.15 billion to its competitors Hennes & Mauritz 0f $7.87 billion (Dutta, 2002). This was the consumer’s one stop shop due to the quality products offered both globally and locally.

Land Art is created by combining art and nature in a complex way. Land art is also known as Earth Art or Earthworks. This art is designed directly in the physical landscapes with the help of natural substances and organic media like leaves, stones, soil, rocks, water, logs, etc. Mechanical earth moving equipment is also used by few artists. Artists show their reaction against industrialization and urbanization through the land art. Before the origin of modern land art, it has been already created by artists for last centuries. But this land art movement became popular somewhere between 1960 and 1970 in America and soon adopted by the artists all over the world. The main part of this art is reforming and redesigning of the landscape. As it is created by moving things around, adding some available materials and imported substances to the landscape so it becomes impossible to move it from one place to another. It is only developed to make some beautiful change in the environment for sometime as in the end it just degenerates. Some land artworks are very short-lived; just stay for a few hours or days, while others just designed in open and left uncovered so that they can be deformed by erosion or wind over time.
