Multiple Use (Obs.)
Multiple Use (Obs.) : A system of resource use where the resources in a given land unit serve more than one user. Multiple use can be effected in three ways: (1) different uses of adjacent subareas which together form a composite multiple use area; (2) the alternation in time of different uses on the same areas; and (3) more than one use of an area at one time. In multiple use planning, where differing resource uses are conducted at the same time on the same area and conflicts between users will occur, one resource is determined to be the dominant use and all other secondary uses are integrated only in-sofar as they are compatible with the first. Often multiple use planning sacrifices the production of the individual resources in favour of the overall mix of resource uses that brings the greatest social and economic benefits
