	Land use - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A land use is the activity land is used for.
		Patterns of land use arise naturally in a culture through customs and practices, but land use may also be formally regulated by land use planning through zoning and planning permission laws, or by private agreements such as restrictive covenants.
		This article relating to Urban studies and planning is a stub.

	Land Use Controls (LUCs) - FAQs
		Land use controls (LUCs), also known as "institutional controls," are administrative or legal mechanisms used to protect public health and the environment from residual contamination at Superfund sites, military bases, or other contaminated properties or former brownfields.
		Private controls are often referred to as proprietary controls because they use traditional property law devices, such as deed restrictions, restrictive covenants, and easements to restrict land use.
		A restrictive covenant is a traditional provision in a deed limiting the use of property and prohibiting certain uses.

	Online TDM Encyclopedia - Land Use Impacts on Transport
		Certain combinations of land use are particularly effective at reducing travel, such as incorporating schools, stores, parks and other commonly-used services within residential neighborhoods and employment centers.
		Nelson/Nygaard (2005) use the results of various studies to develop a model which predicts the impacts of various Smart Growth and TDM on per capita vehicle trip generation and related emissions, including land use density, mix, transit service, walking and cycling conditions, affordable housing, parking management and pricing, transit service discounts, and other TDM programs.
		These studies indicate that land use factors can have significant impacts on travel patterns, but that current transportation models are not accurate at predicting their effects.

	Land use - Wex
		In colonial America few regulations existed on the use of land due to the seemingly endless amounts of it.
		As society shifted from a rural to an urban society, public land regulation became important especially to city governments trying to control industry, commerce, and housing within its boundaries.
		Three typical situations involving such private entities and the court system are: suits brought by one neighbor against another; suits brought by a public official against a neighboring landowner on behalf of the public; and suits involving individuals who share ownership of a particular parcel of land.
