Abstract

A series of computer Land Use Mapping Programs (LUMP) is being developed to assist land use planners and decision makers in data interpretation vital to environmental planning. Forthcoming land use legislation will have important effects on individual land owners and on California agriculture. This system of programs is designed to be an in (pensive tool for the production of inven-iry, interpretive, combination and evaluation maps from social and physical resource data.
