Excerpt from Land Classification for Land Use Planning in the Great Lakes Cut-Over Region as Illustrated by Forest County, Wisconsin
Theessence of sound land-use classification consists first, in determining and clearly defining the objectives for which the classification is designed, and second, in ascertaining the data essential for meeting these purposes. Although to obtain com plete information on all factors before proceeding upon a social policy is the generally accepted method in scientific circles it is not necessarily an efficient use of limited research facilities With uniform, detailed inventories, many types of classification can be developed. Often, however, a classification involving cer tain strategic or controlling factors in a given problem may be made from a reconnaissance type of survey, plus a more intensive study of these critical factors.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book classifies the land of Forest County, Wisconsin, grouping areas by problems and policy suggestions within the broader context of land use planning across the US. The author discusses the concepts of land use classification and the importance of defining clear standards, considering multiple factors including minimum living standards, school and road services, farm organization, and patterns of settlement. It then outlines a three-fold system of classifying land according to agricultural problems and policies, and non-agricultural uses such as forestry or recreation. The author illustrates the practical application of this system to Forest County, breaking down the region into classes and subclasses, and presenting data on the relative size of land use classes, density of settlement, and agricultural land use. The book concludes by emphasizing the significance of classifying land for planning and implementing appropriate policies to address specific problems and promote sustainable land use.
