Land use decisions in karst terrains can have immediate and
serious impacts on the local landscape and groundwater resources.
The existing literature on karst and land use can be very difficult
to locate in the journals of any of a half-dozen different
disciplines. This book brings the interdisciplinary knowledge
together in one place, in a format that academics and professionals
alike will find accessible, informative and useful.
Based on an examination of existing regulations, the experiences
and opinions of planners and land use professionals, and
quantitative analysis of publicly-available data, the book explores
how human settlement patterns and urban systems in karst terrains
are affected by land use regulations intended to protect karst
resources. The book pays particular attention to the questions of
whether these regulations will have a noticeable impact on density
and on opportunities for economic growth and development in
communities that choose to implement them. This analysis serves as
the basis for a regulatory framework that may be used to understand
the workings of land use regulations in karst terrains, and to aid
in the development of such regulations in the future.
