Question

how does perception have an influence on land use decision making?
-I know what perception means, did my research there, I understand how it can impact our thinking but how does it impact land use desision making? I have already looked it up so from personal thought can anyone just tell me some points of what they think so I can understand them and further interpret them from my own ?

Answer 1

If you perceive the ocean to be cold, windy and ugly, you do not build a house on the shore.
However if you perceive the ocean to be beautiful and love fishing in the surf, you might well build a house there.

Answer 2

Every town has different land uses in different parts of the city. For the most part, these uses were not planned, but just "grew." But suppose you want to build an upscale apartment building in a "poor" section of town. You might perceive that no one would want to live and pay a high rent there.

Answer 3

Answer 4
