{"product_id":"land-use-policy-and-practice-spencer-fleury-9781402096693","title":"Land Use Policy and Practice on Karst Terrains: Living on Limestone","description":"\u003cp\u003eLand use decisions in karst terrains can have immediate and serious impacts on the local landscape and groundwater resources. The existing literature on karst and land use can be very difficult to locate in the journals of any of a half-dozen different disciplines. This book brings the interdisciplinary knowledge together in one place, in a format that academics and professionals alike will find accessible, informative and useful.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on an examination of existing regulations, the experiences and opinions of planners and land use professionals, and quantitative analysis of publicly-available data, the book explores how human settlement patterns and urban systems in karst terrains are affected by land use regulations intended to protect karst resources. The book pays particular attention to the questions of whether these regulations will have a noticeable impact on density and on opportunities for economic growth and development in communities that choose to implement them. This analysis serves as the basis for a regulatory framework that may be used to understand the workings of land use regulations in karst terrains, and to aid in the development of such regulations in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Spencer Fleury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1402096690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781402096693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2009","brand":"Spencer Fleury","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48800202588415,"sku":"9781402096693","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/land-use-policy-and-practice-spencer-fleury-9781402096693","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
