The Ecology of Local Land Development Practices: A Case Study of Durand Mill Subdivision (Dekalb County, Georgia)

1999-12 , Suh, Young

One of the problems facing cities has been an availability of land for buildings, infrastructures and food harvesting for the human occupants. An inclination to fixate on particular aspects of land for tilling and building activities in order to fulfil the physical and psychological needs, people have become locally dependent on land. It has always been the case where people have depended on land for their survival. Because of relatively fixed territories that modem city dwellers inhabit in fulfilling their various needs, complex political and ownership related conflicts became prevalent in society. For this paper, it is intended to provide an example of the dynamics of interplay between nature and people within a microcosm of the world. Within a neighborhood setting where such interplay not only determines survival of organic elements within it, but also determines survival of organisms in areas larger than the context in focus. In examining the processes of creating human settlements and their supportive structures, the objective is to realize that there are other more effective approaches to creating the fundamental settings for human society.
