Housing ; Housing cost ; Housing market ; Land ; Land use ; Land value ; Spatial allocation ; United Kingdom ; Urban planning
An investigation is conducted of the extent to which land supply, the operation of the planning system, affects house prices in Britain during the 1980s, and how far planning places a constraint on land supply or simply reorganises that supply
. A planning area is then looked to examine the extent to which increased land allocations in one area can compensate for constraints on land supply in another. The planning system imposes significant costs and it restricts the choice available for consumers.

The establishment of a Geographic Information System (GIS) is intended to promote regular monitoring of the dynamic process of desertification and to investigate the development of the remaining wetland ecosystems. In addition the system is designed
to lead to suggestions for alternative agricultural approaches in order to improve the current land use situation. - (L'A.).

The AA. used GIS to compare past land-use/land-cover information from General Land Office (GLO) surveys taken in 1849/1851 with current forest composition to illustrate the extensive changes that have occurred in bottomland hardwood forest
composition over the past 150 years in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. Agricultural lands, hardwood wetlands, and urban lands increased in area at the expense of rangelands and swamplands. Without conservation efforts, bottomland hardwood forests

The study investigates smallholder responses to land pressure in the Andapa region of Madagascar. The study identifies adaptive and maladaptive management strategies by production sector, allowing for a more precise linkage between strategies
and associated land change. Results reveal a positive response to land pressure, with expansion of both market tree crops and irrigated rice fields. Exogenous policies may not have their desired effect in Andapa.
