Field evaluations of parcel-specific and area applications of Senate Bill 237 marginal lands criteria

Creator:: Holoch, Richard Dale
Abstract:: Marginal agricultural land is currently a focus of concern for public land use agencies in Oregon. Two approaches for evaluating marginal agricultural lands are the Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) model of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, and the marginal lands criteria of the 1983 Oregon Legislature's Senate Bill...

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...

Preliminary environmental impact analysis of desert land entry lands in Christmas Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Kinney, Andrew J.
Abstract:: The Bureau of Land Management's Lakeview District is currently under pressure to allow 16,000 acres located throughout the Christmas Lake Administrative Unit to be appropriated through the Desert Land Entries Act of 1877. These appropriations are being filed for by persons wishing to consolidate small public and private land tracts...

A monitoring system for identifying and recording land conversion in agricultural lands with SCS Soil Capability Classes I-IV

Creator:: Parker, Douglas Stuart
Abstract:: This paper discusses the structure, rationale, and application of a monitoring system specifically designed to identify and record conversion of lands with Soil Conservation Service Soil Capability Classes I-IV. Research methodology and design are structured to objectively assess the rates of agricultural land conversion to non-farm uses over a given...

Selected factors affecting the pattern of agricultural land conversion in Washington County, Oregon, 1963-1973

Creator:: Furuseth, Owen J., 1949-
Abstract:: In recent years the conversion of agricultural lands to more intensive non-rural land uses has become a focus of increasing public awareness and concern. The growing attention to farmland conversion is manifested in increasing public policies and legilsation to protect agricultural and forestry land uses. Nevertheless, our understanding of the...

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...

A potential gross sales test for farmland: the synthesis and application of a rural resource planning tool

Creator:: Clinton, Patrick James
Abstract:: Due to recent changes in Oregon land-use regulations, agricultural resource lands within exclusive farm-use zones are being designated as high-value, important, or small-scale farmland according to their relative potential for commercial agriculture. Potential gross agricultural sales are used as a threshold in the designation of small-scale farmlands; however, the regulations...

An analysis of potential "swampbuster" wetland protection in the Tualatin Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Gallagher, Michael A.
Abstract:: The loss of wetlands in the United States has been widely publicized. Wetland conversions to agricultural production have been responsible for a large percentage of wetland losses. Partially in recognition of the agricultural cause for this wetland loss, Congress promulgated the "swampbuster" provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985....

Non-Regulatory Techniques for Fish and Wildlife Habitat Protection on Private Lands

Creator:: Malouf, Beth
Abstract:: A survey was developed for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to collect information about non-regulatory fish and wildlife habitat programs in nine states (Alaska, California, Florida, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, Pennsylvania, Texas and Vermont). Non-regulatory programs are voluntary and offer incentives to landowners who are interested in protecting or...

Geographic Information Systems and rural land use analysis : an evaluation of alternative data sources

Creator:: Mickaelson, Nels E.
Abstract:: A Geographic Information System (GIS) can be a powerful tool for solving land use planning problems. The synthesis, analysis, and depiction of spatial data make it a valuable tool for land use planners. A primary issue with GIS is the cost and time required to develop a functional system. One...
