Description of how each land use type affect different parties.

Increasing price of land-
Industries:Provide its highest output as they pay huge amount for the land.

Land clearance-
Cattle ranchers & Plantation: Need large areas of land for the rearing of cattle and plantation agriculture. Thus, large areas of forests must be cleared for this type of farming.
Commercial logging companies: Forests provide timber that can be made into various products such as paper and furniture for sale.
Nation: Deforestation causes damage to the land, brings about soil erosion and affects the hydrologic cycle. With fewer trees, the Earth will be warmer.
Animals & Plants: Clearing the forest destroy their habitats.

Land reclamation-
Farmers: Could control the water supply in their fields from the reclamation. Do not need to depend on the rain and fight the flooding from the sea.
Community- More space for housing and recreational usage.

Maximising land use-
Community: Buildings are built close together. This allows for more residential flats to house a growing population and offers more offices to accommodate expanding economic activities.
Farmers: Terracing increases the area of arable land, maximising the exisiting land use. Soil-less farming uses less land however, the supply of food is not affected. Irrigation increase yields in existing farmlands by lengthening the growing seasons.

Conservation of land-
Community: Land conservation minimise the loss and damage of land, so that more land can be made available for human uses.
