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...

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...
