The document compares land use maps of Malaysia and Australia. The Malaysian map focuses only on Borneo and provides more detailed classifications than the Australian map which covers the entire country. The Australian map uses a standardized classification system with multiple tiers and includes additional metadata like the mapping date. Key differences are in map scale, color use, areas covered, and level of detail between the two maps.

AND AUSTRALIA MOHAMAD ZAKWAN BIN ZAINAL MUHAMAD AZRI BIN MOHD SIDEK WHAT IS LAND USE? • Land use involves the management can modification of natural environment or wilderness into built environment such as settlements and semi-natural habitats such as arable fields, pastures and managed woods. • It also defined as "the total of arrangements, activities, and inputs that people undertake in a certain land cover type. What is map ?
A map is model of the earth shown on a flat
surface. Map are useful because you can carry them with you. INTRODUCTION • Land use is the human use of territory for economic, residential, recreational, conservational, and governmental purposes. The concept of land use is closely intertwined with human community development. Patterns of human development and land use have shaped the environment locally and globally since prehistoric times. Current development patterns, together with features of the natural environment and the consequences of past development activities, determine future development opportunities, and also the need for restoration or enhancement of environmental resources. Comparison of map element between Malaysia and Australia Land use Map Legend For australia map the legend arrangement is according group classification of the land use and the malaysia map not according to group classification. The color use on malaysia and australia different for example for the mining area malaysia use black and australia use greenish blue. There is detail discription on map of australia compare to the malaysia map. For australia map there is additional that show date of mapping and scale of mapping and it is not available in malaysia map. Land use is classified according to the Australian Land Use and Management (ALUM) Classification version 7, a three-tiered hierarchical structure. There are five primary classes, identified in order of increasing levels of intervention or potential impact on the natural landscape. Water is included separately as a sixth primary class. Primary and secondary levels relate to the principal land use. Tertiary classes may include additional information on commodity groups, specific commodities, land management practices or vegetation information. The primary, secondary and tertiary codes work together to provide increasing levels of detail about the land use. Land may be subject to a number of concurrent land uses. For example, while the main management objective of a multiple-use production forest may be timber production, it may also provide conservation, recreation, grazing and water catchment land uses. In these cases, production forestry is commonly identified in the ALUM code as the prime land use. The primary classes of land use in the ALUM Classification are:
1. Conservation and natural environments - land used primarily for
conservation purposes, based on maintaining the essentially natural ecosystems present 2. Production from relatively natural environments - land used mainly for primary production with limited change to the native vegetation 3. Production from dry land agriculture and plantations - land used mainly for primary production based on dry land farming systems 4. Production from irrigated agriculture and plantations - land used mostly for primary production based on irrigated farming 5. Intensive uses - land subject to extensive modification, generally in association with closer residential settlement, commercial or industrial uses 6. Water - water features (water is regarded as an essential aspect of the classification, even though it is primarily a land cover type, not a land use) Scale The scale use on the australia map is bigger compare to the malaysia map which is 1:5 000000 Colour use on map The major colour use on the australia map is crème colour which show the grazing native vegetation area. For malaysia map the major colour use is green colour which depict the forestery area. Area The area of australia map cover the whole country and for malaysia map cover only for borneo area. Detail The malaysia map more detail compare to the australia map as the area cover is smaller than australia.
