Land use management is the process of planning, regulating, and controlling how land is used to balance economic, social, and environmental needs. It involves zoning laws, land development policies, and conservation efforts to ensure sustainable growth and resource utilization. Effective land use management helps prevent urban sprawl, protect natural ecosystems, and promote efficient infrastructure development.

Mapping refers to the process of creating visual representations of geographic, demographic, and infrastructural data to aid in planning and decision-making. It involves the use of maps, GIS (Geographic Information Systems), and spatial analysis tools to illustrate land use, zoning, transportation networks, population distribution, and environmental features. Mapping helps town planners design efficient layouts, assess development impacts, and ensure sustainable urban growth.
