प्रश्न
Give a geographical reason:
Growth of urban areas is linked to land use.
उत्तर
- Land use in urban areas differs from land use in rural areas.
- In rural areas, land use is closely related to agricultural activities like the cultivation of different crops, plantation of trees, permanent pastures, grazing land, cultivation of tree crops, fallow land, etc.
- On the other hand, land use in urban areas is varied and closely related to housing and economic activities.
- As the population of the urban area increases, more and more non-agricultural activities develop in urban areas.
- Growth of urban areas depends upon areas under construction, industries, and different types of institutions such as schools, colleges, insurance companies, banks, etc.
- Recreational activities and transportation are the other urban land uses.
- Thus, the growth of urban areas is linked with land use.

Land is very valuable – natural resource as land is required for the production of food, construction of buildings, roads, railways, lakes. Similarly, land is required for the growth of fodder, grass, trees etc. If the fertile land of country is more then the productivity of agriculture is more. Forest resources provide us medicinal plant, livestock farming and help to maintain the balance of environment. The geographical area of India is 32,87,263 Sq.Km. India ranks 7th according to area of world. Similarly, India ranks 7th in the cultivable area in the world. The total cultivable area is 18,64,00,000 hectares. It is about 77% of the total area but only 46% of this area is used for cultivation. Area under cultivation is reduced due to growth of population in the country, development of industries, construction of roads, lakes etc. The type of land is different, in different states of India. States in Northern India are the hilly region so the are under cultivation and fertility of land is less. The part of Rajasthan and Gujarat’s state is covered by deserts.
