"The difference is largely a function of land use and scale," said Robert Fazio, a longtime employee of the Los Angeles Community Redevelopment Agency and a coordinator of the San Fernando Valley project.
The economically viable height of a commercial building is a complicated function of land value, construction costs and rents, but I suspect that it is nowhere close to 100 floors.
Another of Dr. Rapkin's major contributions, said William G. Grigsby, a retired professor of urban planning at the University of Pennsylvania, was a 1954 book he wrote with Robert B. Mitchell, "Urban Traffic: A Function of Land Use".
These fluxes are a function of land use and land management and as such an essential component for integrated water resources management.
Differences in LiDAR-derived measures of canopy height and vertical diversity were a function of the degree of damage from the 1938 hurricane and the predominant tree species which is, in part, a function of land use history.
As proposed, ELC may not only provide for increased habitat availability for species, but also promote landscape complementation/supplementation functions and other critical ecosystem processes; hence, realize 'emergent' ecological functions of land use.
We evaluated differences in habitat use between male and female jaguars in the Mayan Forest of the Yucatan Peninsula by modeling occupancy as a function of land cover type, distance to roads, and sex.
Without proper land management practices, this pressure definitely leads to land degradation (particularly in the form of soil erosion and deforestation), which, in turn, affects the productive and service functions of land as well as the livelihood of the population.
A drift of jobs away from cities would kill real estate prices generally, since urban prices are a function of land scarcity, but prices in the countryside are determined by building costs.
