The workbook delves into land use, examining various types and issues related to land use, including competition for farmland, environmentally sensitive areas, and Indigenous land claims. It also addresses population distribution and global settlement patterns, highlighting the use of technology to adapt to physical features and discussing the impact of human settlements on the environment. The resource addresses climate change and sustainable living.
