  • Alternative uses for ryegrass lands

    Creator:
    Johnson, Lynn D.
    Abstract:
    Agricultural field burning in Oregon's Willamette Valley has been an accepted farming practice for sanitizing fields and removing stubble and residues left on fields after harvest since the early 1940s. Unfortunately, the smoke and debris created by the burning in combination with other pollutants have been causing health and environmental...

  • Factors affecting rural land value

    Creator:
    Rich, Stanley Arthur
    Abstract:
    The value per-acre and annual amortization of rural land varies dynamically by parcel size. There are several adjustment factors or independent variables spatial, productive and development potential which affect the market value of all rural land. The evaluation of these must be accomplished by parcel size to be realistically equated....

  • Problems associated with changing land tenure in the Calapooia Drainage Basin

    Creator:
    Thomason, Dennis Richard
    Abstract:
    The land tenure system in the United States contains a variety of tenure types. A major characteristic of this tenure system is the continual change of tenure types within a given region.

    Creator:
    Preston, John Phillip
    Abstract:
    The impacts of modern limited-access highways on the spatial distribution of non-agricultural development, and their influence in the shaping of occupancy patterns, are far-reaching and should be of eminent concern to all Americans. The location of the Interstate routes, with 80 percent of their 41,000 miles crossing rural localities, renders...

  • A survey and evaluation of land resource classification systems in the United States

    Creator:
    Aldrich, Frank T.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to examine the methods and criteria developed for rating actual and potential agricultural land in the United States. It is motivated by the apparent increasing competition for quality space created by the expanding population, and by the belief that land rating and classification are...

    The thesis presented here is a quantitative study of vacant urban land in Corvallis, Oregon. In order to present this study the writer first studied the available literature and found that little had been published dealing with causal factors of vacant urban land. Rather, it was found that several writers...

  • A pilot study for estimating land use change

    Creator:
    Behm, Kevin
    Abstract:
    A two stage area-point sampling design was tested to estimate land use change in a fast growth county. Random square miles were selected, then subsampled at a density of 20 points per square mile. Twelve land use categories were derived from an aggregation of the USGS Land Use! Land Cover...

  • The role of the land developer in converting agricultural land to urban use: subdivisions in Tualatin, Oregon

    Creator:
    Avery, G. William
    Abstract:
    The study of the interactions between man and his environment is the eminent domain of the geographer. An excellent example of this kind of study is the urbanization of a formerly rural town on the urban-rural fringe. The area in this instance is Tualatin, Oregon, with the focus on the...

  • Comparison of systematic unaligned sampling designs for estimating land uses

    Creator:
    Amri, Siti Zabedah
    Abstract:
    The direction and scope of this research paper follows closely an earlier sampling study conducted by Behm and Pease (1985). In this pilot project, the authors employed a two-stage random sampling method in determining land use estimates. Anderson's land use classification system was used for data categorization (Table 1). The...

  • An analysis of diversity in agricultural land use in Oregon

    Creator:
    Odland, John J. M.
    Abstract:
    An index suitable for measurement of the diversity of agricultural land use is developed. This index is based on a principle of measuring the deviation of a distribution from an even distribution and is similar to indexes employed to measure diversity in manufacturing The index is applied to the thirty-six...
