Transport modes are the means by which people and freight achieve mobility. They fall into one of three basic types – Surface Transport: Road, Rail, Non motorized (Walking, Cycling, Pipelines etc.); Water (Shipping); and Air. Each mode is characterized by a set of Engineering, Operational, Commercial and Environmental factors.

At the same time, the demand for land for various competing purposes is continuously increasing with the increase in human population, technological and economic growth. Land use pattern at any given time is determined by several factors including size of human and livestock population, the demand pattern, the technology in use, the cultural traditions, the location and capability of land, institutional factors like ownership pattern and rights and state regulation. The land use pattern besides having economic implications has also important ecological dimensions, which if ignored can have disastrous consequences. Thursday, 10 March 2016 SPCE 4 LAND USE The occupation or utilization of land or water area for any human activity or any purpose defined in the General plan. General Plan (Master Plan) is issued by the Town Planning Authority after consideration of prospective planning of demographic, economic development, public infrastructure, social and environmental factors. Land Use is broadly classified into two categories worldwide i.e. ‘under agriculture’ and ‘non agriculture’. Per capita arable land (world average) is 0.24 hectares. Various Land Use defined in the General Plan are- Residential, Agriculture, Commercial, Industrial, Institutional, Mixed, Roads, Railways & Other Public Infrastructure.
