- 13. A 1973 law designed to protect species from extinction
- 14. a timber harvesting technique that involves removing all or almost all the trees within an area. This has a big short term profit. Quick growing trees will do well with a lot of sunlight.

- 24. similar to suburban areas but not connected to any central city or densely populated area
- 25. stratagies that encourage the development of sustainable healthy communities. They include mixed land uses, creating choice in housing opportunities and walkable neighborhoods, compact building design, a sense of place, preserved spaces of beauty, vareity of transportation, etc.
- 29. A U.S. federal fund that pays for the construction and maintenance of roads and highways begun by the Highway Revenue Act of 1956
- 31. areas established to protect species and ecosystems
- 33. the tendency of a shared, limited resource to become depleted because people act from self-interest for short-term gain
- 35. Service that oversees lands used for wildlife conservation, hunting, and recreation
- 37. a planning tool developed in the 20s to seperate industry and business from residential neighborhoods
- 38. People's attachment to the region that they perceive as their home
- 39. a plan that states how a developer will address the environmental impact of a project or building
- 40. Service that oversees lands used for recreation and conservation
- 41. the degradation of the built and social environments of the city that often accompanies and accelerates migration to the suburbs
- 42. public lands that can be used for recreation, grazing, timber harvesting, and mineral extraction, wildlife preserving, or scentific research
- 43. the creation of urbanized areas that spread into rural areas and remove clear boundaries between the two
Down
- 1. housing payments that are artificially low because of federal help through the Federal Housing Adminstration, usually for newly-built houses in the low-density suburbs
- 3. A mixed-use residential or commercial area designed to maximize access to public transport, and often incorporates features to encourage transit ridership
- 4. A regional boundary, set in an attempt to control urban sprawl by mandating that the area inside the boundary be used for higher density urban development and the area outside to be used for lower density development. Used by local governments as a guide to zoning and land use decision
- 6. areas sourrounding metropolitan centers with low population densities
- 7. a tract of land declared by the national government to be public property used for scientific, educational, and recreational use
- 9. areas combined with the nondestructive use of natural resources with oppurtunities for tourism and recreation (orchards, villages, beaches)
- 10. an approach that has a goal of maintaining all species in as close a natural state as possible
- 16. large areas typically planted with a single rapidly growing tree species
- 18. A zoning classification that allows retail and high-density residential development to coexist in the same area
- 19. dry, open grasslands used for cattle grazing (the most common use for land in the USA)
- 20. areas actively managed to maintain biologial communities
- 22. A NEPA rule that require an outline of the scope and purpose of a federal project. It must describe the environmental context, suggest alternative aproaches to the project and analyzes the environmental impact of each alternative
- 23. allows for the sustained use of biological, mineral, and recreational resources
- 26. people with an interest in a particular place or issue
- 27. the right of the state to take private property for public use
- 28. the maximum amount that can be harvested without compromising the future availability of that resource
- 30. selective cutting a timber harvesting technique that involves the removal of few trees or relatively small numbers of trees from among many in a forest. This produces optimum growth from shade tolerant trees. It is a less extensively damaging technique. Transporting logs can lead to road creation and soil impaction
- 32. a deliberate fire set to reduce the accumulation of dead biomass
- 34. areas set aside to protect unique sites of special natural or cultural interest (Arc de Triomphe)
- 36. the process of filling in empty or rundown parts of a city with new developmen
