Access to the best possible information by land planners, land managers, legislators, and other decision-makers is made more difficult by the growing complexity and large scope of land use conflicts. The Land Use Analysis Laboratory, an interdisciplinary research team, has as its general purpose the development of tools to provide increased access to land information. Because the volume and complexity of the necessary data are two of the principal obstacles to full access to land information, the use of computers is an important means of increasing the availability and versatility of land information.
