Land Use Bibliography: References to Reports and Other Documents Issued by the U.S. General Accounting Office, January 1979-December 1982

摘要

Land; its ownership; and how its use is planned, managed and controlled is a complex and highly controversial subject because it is the primary element necessary for determining growth and development. It involves population and economic growth; multiple use of land and resources; controversies over trade-offs between competing land uses; individual aspirations and rights versus the public good; and Federal, State, and local government rights and responsibilities. This bibliography includes information on U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) documents directly and indirectly related to land use planning, management, and control released between January 1979 and December 1982. Although the Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division (RCED) is GAO's lead division for reviews of land use issues, a broad interrelationship exists between the land use area and other issue areas addressed by GAO such as energy, materials, food, transportation, and environment. This bibliography, therefore, includes information on documents issued by other GAO divisions and offices that have linkages to land use planning, management, and control.
