In recent years, the face of much of rural Québec bas undergone a series of important transformations : vast areas of marginal farmland have either been abandoned or reforested ; large tracts of cleared land in the Saint Lawrence lowlands have been converted from general farming to specialty crops ; several of these areas of specialty crops are now being swallowed up by urban expansion ; the Laurentide hills and large sections of the Eastern Townships area are rapidly being transformed into sprawling tourist playgrounds. With the aid of 1964 air photos and 1965 land use data the authors record and briefly discuss some of the more striking trends in the evolution of rural land use patterns in the area between Montréal and Québec City, on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River.

Land use change plays a key role in terrestrial systems and drives the process of ecological pattern change. It is important to investigate the process of land use change, predict land use patterns, and reveal the characteristics of land use dynamics. In this study, we adopted the Markov model and future land use (FLUS) model to predict the future land use conditions in Xi’an city. Furthermore, we investigated the characteristics of land use change from a novel perspective, i.e., via establishment of a complex network model. This model captured the characteristics of the land use system during different periods. The results indicated that urban expansion and cropland loss played an important role in land use pattern change. The future gravity center of urban development moved along the opposite direction to that from 2000 to 2015 in Xi’an city. Although the rate of urban expansion declined in the future, urban expansion remained the primary driver of land use change. The primary urban development directions were east-southeast (ENE), north-northeast (NNE) and west-southwest (WSW) from 1990 to 2000, 2000 to 2015, and 2015 to 2030, respectively. In fact, cropland played a vital role in land use dynamics regarding all land use types, and the stability of the land use system decreased in the future. Our study provides future land use patterns and a novel perspective to better understand land use change.

Recent patterns of rural land use in Georgia have stressed urban aggrandizement and the transformation of a significant portion of the available rural land into forests. The area covered by commercial forests in Georgia has increased 21 percent over the past quarter century to the point where two out of every three acres in Georgia are presently growing tree crops. During the 1958-68 decade the proportion of land in farms in Georgia fell from 31.3 percent to 27.0 percent, representing a withdrawal of approximately 1.6 million acres from farm use. As a partial consequence of this shift in rural land use patterns, the price of farm land over the past ten years has increased more rapidly in Georgia than in any other state but one.

Danau Toba merupakan danau terluas di indonesia dan sekaligus danau vulkanik terbesar di dunia. Danau toba memiliki panjang 100 kilometer, lebar 30 kilometer dan kedalaman kurang lebih 1600 meter. Desa Sitamiang merupakan sebuah desa yang berada pada kecamatan Onan Runggu, sebuah desa kecil yang memiliki luas sekitar 3 kilometer persegi. Kebudayaan asli masyarakat Batak Toba sangat dapat dirasakan pada setiap sudut Desa Sitamiang. Potensi-potensi yang ada dirasakan layak untuk membentuk Desa Sitamiang untuk  Desa Wisata yang berbasis Kearifan Lokal.Perencanaan peruntukan tanah pada kawasan konservasi dilakukan untuk menjaga kelestarian alam agar dapat dinikmati oleh generasi yang akan datang. Menurut sifat pola penggunaan tanah dibedakan menjadi tanah pedesaan ( Rural Land Use ) dan tanah perkotaan ( Urban Land Use ) perbedaan ini karena berbedanya titik berat peggunaan tanah Pengembangan Desa Sitamiang sebagai Desa Wisata Berbasis Kearifan lokal menunjukkan pengembangan bukan hanya semata fisik bangunan dan infrastruktur saja namun juga pengembangan terhadap penigkatan kualitas sosial budaya masyarakat asli yang ada pada desa Sitamiang. Peruntukan Tanah yang diantaranya adalah pertanian, perkebunan, permukiman dapat disandingkan dengan peruntukan lain seperti rekreasi, komsersil, dan fasilitas pendukung yang dapat meningkatkan perekonomian masyarakat. Lake Toba is the largest lake in Indonesia and at the same time the largest volcanic lake in the world. Lake Toba has a length of 100 kilometers, a width of 30 kilometers and a depth of approximately 1600 meters. Sitamiang Village is a village located in Onan Runggu sub-district, a small village which has an area of ​​around 3 square kilometers. The original culture of the Toba Batak people can be felt in every corner of Sitamiang Village. The existing potentials are felt appropriate to form a Sitamiang Village for a Tourism Village based on Local Wisdom. Planning for the designation of land in a conservation area is carried out to preserve nature so that it can be enjoyed by future generations. According to the nature of land use patterns, it is divided into rural land (Rural Land Use) and urban land (Urban Land Use). This difference is due to the different emphasis on land use. The development of the Sitamiang Village as a Tourism Village Based on Local Wisdom shows that development is not just physical buildings and infrastructure but also the development of the improvement of the socio-cultural quality of indigenous people in the Sitamiang village. Allotment of land including agriculture, plantations, settlements can be juxtaposed with other designations such as recreation, commercial, and supporting facilities that can improve the community's economy.

Today, research into Early Florida (circa 15,000–9,000 cal B.P.) is blossoming and entering an exciting phase that has the potential to reveal much about early Floridians in particular, and wider Paleoindian and Early Archaic scholarship in general. Whereas the rest of North American Paleoindian and Early Archaic archaeology is limited almost exclusively to the analysis of site distributions and stone tools, Florida has produced an embarrassment of riches in the form of Paleoindian-age organic tools, including ivory points or shafts, ivory harpoon points, mastodon patella anvil, horse tibia tool handle, and several modified megafauna bones of unknown function. Perhaps more than any other area of North America, Florida provides the opportunity for extraordinary preservation of organic Paleoindian and Early Archaic material from submerged sites in its fresh and coastal waters. However, challenges remain in refining Florida’s early chronology, typology, land-use patterns, offshore survey techniques, and synthetic regional studies, and in preserving terrestrial sites in the face of tremendous development pressures and a deteriorating relationship with private collectors.
