Scientometric Review of Sustainable Land Use and Management Research

Abstract

Compared to secondary and tertiary sectors, land has been a more limited resource for agriculture. as a fundamental agricultural ingredient. Of all the resources needed for a modern economy, land holds the top spot. Like any other resource, land has two dimensions: quantity and quality. Because of the broad and intensive use of land for both agricultural and non-agricultural purposes, both of these vital elements are seriously threatened. Due to growing demands on land for housing, industrial growth, the construction of infrastructure, and food production, among other uses, the competition between the agricultural and nonagricultural sectors for land is becoming more intense. In particular, sustainable urban development refers to striking a balance between environmental preservation and urban area growth, with an eye toward social infrastructure, jobs, housing, basic amenities, and transportation justice. As the world's urban population continues to grow, there is a growing awareness of the need to reduce the negative environmental effects of urbanization. Environmental damage, depletion of non-renewable resources, and rising pollution levels in urban areas are major concerns. Cities have increasingly become epicenters of resource waste and environmental degradation, negatively affecting both current and future generations. To address these issues, we must reduce the consumption of non-renewable resources and transition to ecologically sustainable economic development. However, this transition must be achieved in ways that are socially, economically, and politically viable.
