Introduction
Today the research focus is on the dynamics of land
use. Land represents an important resource for the
economic life of a majority of people in the world.

well as for the sustained quality of land resources.
Land use however is not only a realm of those
directly using it; it is exposed to a part of the wider
reality of social and economic development and
change. Land use therefore is a highly dynamic
process. This implies that policy discussion and
development planning need to be based on a sound
understanding of these dynamics.
