The causes, consequences and control of land use change have become
topics of enormous importance in contemporary society. Not only is
urban land use and sprawl a hot-button issue, but issues of rural
land use have also been in the headlines. Policy makers and
citizens are starting to realize that many environmental and
economic issues have the question of land use at their very core.
Comprising papers from a conference sponsored by the Northeast
Regional Center for Rural Development, Land Use Problems and
Conflicts draws together some of the most up-to-date research in
this area. Sections are devoted to problems in the United States
and Europe, the consequences of such problems, land use-related
data and alternative solutions to conflict. With a lineup including
some of the best scholarship on this subject to date, this volume
will be of use to those studying environmental and land use issues
in addition to policy makers and economists.
