Land Use Policy (U01822)

? Credit Points : 10 ? SCQF Level : 10 ? Acronym : GEO-4-LUP

Users of rural land in Britain are experiencing both inducements and constraints on what they may or may not do on this basic resource and increasingly wider public interests are influencing the boundaries within which social and economic activities are allowable.
This unit introduces students to a variety of discussion leaders from commercial, governmental and non-governmental organisations all with their own particular viewpoint and expertise in land use policy; and through presentations, seminars and visits explores the main inducements and constraints which have shaped land use in the past and which continue to shape the rural economy and environment of the future.
