Land use can be understood as the way in which geographical space is being occupied by human beings and their activities in it. Land management practices and forms of land use have a major impact on ecosystems and natural resources including water and soil. Information on land use can be used to develop solutions for managing problems related to natural resources such as water quality. Surveying land use is of great importance, as the disorderly occupation of land causes deterioration of the environment.
