FIELD WORK: The Relationship Between Physical Features And Land Use Activities Acknowledgments Many people assisted in the preparation of this book, some of them directly, some of them indirectly. In the latter category are all of the geography teachers under whom I was privileged to be taught at Kawanda Secondary school and Naalya Secondary School Bweyogerere.; Sabagwanya Musa, Namutebi Judith, Akinyi Millicent and Songa Ramadan who provided me with intellectual knowledge in the field. They may not always recognize the final product but they all contributed to it in important ways.

A similar debt is owed to all of those with whom I have worked or discussed research interests and the field in general. There are too many of them to list here, but surely they have had an important impact on my own thinking and so on this publication.

Again the greatest debt of all is owed God and my parents. Not only did God give me life as well as guided me

    Grass and Shrub savanna constituted the largest land cover mass in Pendjari National Park, which followed the assertions of Cheke (2001), Adomou (2005) and Kassa (2008) who opined that there are extensive areas of open grasslands or grass and shrub savanna in the park dominated by Acacia sieberiana, Mitragyna inermis or Terminalia macroptera. The grass and shrub savanna experienced tremendous loss within the time span, likewise, dense forest, open forest/wooded savanna, savanna /meadows of the floodplains, and gallery forest. These losses were evident in their absolute changes, percentage changes and rate of changes. The reduction in their spatial extents can be largely attributed to the increase in the bare soil/built-up areas, amidst other land use/land cover classes. Increased desertification and siltation of lakes within the eco-region, fire management and infrastructural development towards ecotourism and road network maintenance could have been the drivers behind the increment in bare soil/built-up areas. Dreier and Sow (2015) and ELD Initiative and UNEP (2015) confirmed the fact that northern Benin (where the park is situated) was being faced with various environmental challenges in recent times such as desertification and…

    (2) Activities are spatially diverse, ranging from those contained at particular sites (e.g. gated theme parks, or historic buildings) to the spatially extensive (e.g. rambling or leisurely rural car drives). (3) High levels of non-exclusive land uses outside a relatively small number of sites. (4) Strong presence of public goods means that individual land owners or site managers cannot impose exclusive use rights over aspects of these land uses such as views of historic townscapes, or beaches.(5) Land uses are driven by the blurred nature of much tourism and recreational activities, the changing mix of domestic and international activities, and the balance between inbound and outbound tourism.

    Geography is the study of the earth’s landscapes, peoples, places and environments. It is, quite simply, about the world in which we live. Geography puts this understanding of social and physical processes within the context of places and regions - recognizing the great differences in cultures, political systems, economies, landscapes and environments places and social groups underlie much of the newer developments in human geography across the world, and the links between them. Geography provides an ideal framework for relating other fields of knowledge. It is not surprising that those trained as geographers often contribute substantially to the applied management of resources and environments.…
