These usually appear in land cover classifications. Some land uses, such as agriculture, have a characteristic land cover pattern. Land use means the purpose to which the land cover is committed. ġ The three definitions for land tenure, land use and land cover are from: Guidelines for land use mapping in Australia: principles, procedures and definitions, Edition 3, Commonwealth of Australia, 2006. More than half of Victoria is freehold agricultural land (55%), while around 38% of the state is public land, consisting of National and State Parks, Forests and Declared Water Supply Catchments as shown in map 1. Some forms of tenure (such as pastoral leases or nature conservation reserves) relate directly to land use and land management practice. Land tenure is the form of an interest in land.

However, the accuracy, scale and classification systems used in land use information can limit the utility of the information. Detailing land use arrangements across the landscape makes it possible to analyse past, present and propose future interactions of humans in the environment.
