Author	Fleury, Spencer. author.
Title	Land Use Policy and Practice on Karst Terrains Living on Limestone / by Spencer Fleury.
Physical Description	XI, 187 p. online resource.
Contents	Karst Processes, Landforms and Issues -- A Brief Look at Land Use Regulations in Karst Terrains -- What Planners and Land Use Professionals Understand About Karst -- The Practical Impacts of Karst Regulations on the Communities that Implement Them – a Pair of Case Studies -- Karst Land Use Regulation in Rural Settings -- Moving Toward a Framework for Karst Land Use Regulations.
Summary	Land use decisions in karst terrains can have immediate and serious impacts on the local landscape and groundwater resources. The existing literature on karst and land use can be difficult to locate in the journals of any of a half-dozen different disciplines. The book Living on Limestone: Land Use Policy and Practice on Karst Terrains brings this interdisciplinary knowledge together in one place, in a format that academics and professionals alike will find accessible, informative and useful. Based on an examination of existing regulations, the experiences and opinions of planners and land use professionals, and quantitative analysis of publicly-available data, Living on Limestone explores how human settlement patterns and urban systems in karst terrains are affected by land use regulations intended to protect karst resources. The book pays particular attention to the questions of whether these regulations will have a noticeable impact on density and on opportunities for economic growth and development in communities that choose to implement them. This analysis serves as the basis for a regulatory framework that may be used to understand the workings of land use regulations in karst terrains, and to aid in the development of such regulations in the future.

Summary	Land use decisions in karst terrains can have immediate and serious impacts on the local landscape and groundwater resources.
