Why should we pay attention to “inconsistent” land uses? A viewpoint on water quality

This paper reports an attempt to elucidate the effects of inconsistency between legal zoning plans and actual land-cover type (LCTs) using land-use disparity (LUD) as an indicator. The results highlight the impact of improper pre-existing uses and re-zoning applications, which are critical legislati...

Zusammenfassung:This paper reports an attempt to elucidate the effects of inconsistency between legal zoning plans and actual land-cover type (LCTs) using land-use disparity (LUD) as an indicator. The results highlight the impact of improper pre-existing uses and re-zoning applications, which are critical legislative loopholes in land-use planning and management.
