About this Dataset

Land Use

Land resources are one of the four components of the natural environment: water, air, land and living resources. In this context land is both:

a physical "milieu" necessary for the development of natural vegetation as well as cultivated vegetation;
a resource for human activities.

The data presented here give information concerning land use state and changes (e.g. agricultural land, forest land).
