Question

Contrast and compare the following approaches to land use management. (Please include reference to considerations of police power and eminent domain principles that underlie each of these land use management tools)  (20 points) 
   
  a. regulations such as zoning, special environmental protection ordinances, etc. 
   
  b. public purchase of land outright (fee simple ownership) to keep it out of development 
   
  c. public purchase of easements (less than full fee ownership) or, in other words, only partial ownership rights such as the right to change its use, or the right to develop it, or the right to develop it in any way not in compliance with stringent environmental protection conditions embodied by the public agency purchasing the easement in the property deed or a covenant.

Clearly, you'll need to do some research to come up with the content of your paper. I'll include some researching ideas below. If you also need help with organizing a comparison/contrast paper, please repost.

At this webpage, you can go immediately to the search sites (first three columns across the top) -- or even better you can scroll down until you see the section called HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET. Those are the links to start with. You'll not only learn how to come up with good search terms, but also how to evaluate the webpages you get as results. Some will be good and others will be garbage. You need to know how to tell the difference.

My favorite way to search is to go to Google's advanced search page http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en and put my search words or phrases into the first or second search box (either "all the words" or "exact phrase"). However, there many other strategies for searching you can use, and the HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET section will help you best.

Learning to use Google or other search engines can save you time and help you learn to find information efficiently. Here are some websites that can teach you how:
