  1. Land Use Unit Land Use: Identification & Suitability Land Use: Benefits & Problems Land Use: Conflicts & Solutions (National Parks)

  2. Land Use Learning Outcomes • Identify different Land Use (from OS Map). • Explain why the Land Use is suitable for that area.

  3. Different Land Uses

  4. Different Land Uses (Tourism & Recreation)

  5. Suitability of Land Use

  6. Suitability of Land Use

  7. Glacial Landscapes(Upland) Steep sides and infertile soil allows for forestry and recreation and main land use. Flat bottom of U-shaped valley used for some farming, settlement and communications. Ribbon lakes and Corrie Lochs can be used for water storage and HEP.

  8. Glacial Landscapes(Lowland) Boulder Clay is flat and fertile allowing for arable farming. Terminal Moraine is hilly and infertile used for health or forestry. Outwash Plain is flat but infertile, however sands and gravels have been ‘sorted’ allowing for quarrying.

  9. River Landscapes (Upper Course) V – Shaped valleys are steep with infertile soils. Land use is forestry and hill sheep farming. Some recreation such as water sports and hill walking.

  10. River Landscapes(Middle & Lower Course) Floodplains are flat containing fertile alluvium soil. Land use is farming both arable and livestock, also settlement and communications. Near river mouth may also use water for cooling for industry and deep water for ports / docks.

  11. Credit 2006 Q1c Part of the disused aluminium works at Kinlochleven (1861, 1862) has been converted into a training centre for outdoor sports. Using map evidence to support your answer, state whether or not you think this is a good location for an outdoor sports centre. (ES 6marks)

  12. Credit 2006 Q1d Q1d Find area X on the OS map extract. Give reasons for the different land uses in this area (KU 5marks)

  13. Benefits & Problems of Land Use Learning Outcomes: • Explain the Benefits & Problems different Land Users can create.

  14. Benefits & Problems

  15. Benefits & Problems

  16. Benefits & Problems

  17. What are the advantages and disadvantages of a particular site for a National Park? • Need good road access so that people can come and enjoy the park • Near large cities so that the NP will be used • Need unspoilt scenery • Need a variety of types of scenery eg. Forests, open moorland, mountains, lakes • Need a honey-pot village to take pressure off other areas • Roads encourage access and increase pressure on land such as footpath erosion • Closer to cities means that more people will come and cause the roads to be congested • Variety of landuses increases land use conflict
