There is a wide range of pressures on the environment
that may restrict or confine our use of
the land
in the future. Using this as a guide on the meaning
of sustainable use we can start to identify and minimise
the risk of any pressure adversely affecting the
amount and quality of
the natural resource base of
Scotland.
The Macaulay Land Use Research Institute has generated a series of
maps that illustrate the spatial potential or sensitivity
of the landscape to a range of pressures and change.
For example:-
