1. Agriculture is the systematic raising of useful plants and livestock under the management
of man (Rimando, T.J.. 2004. Crop Science 1: Fundamentals of Crop Science. U.P. Los
Baos: University Publications Office. p. 1).
2. Agriculture is the growing of both plants and animals for human needs (Abellanosa, A.L.

3. Agriculture is the deliberate effort to modify a portion of Earth's surface through the
cultivation of crops and the raising of livestock for sustenance or economic gain.
(Rubenstein, J.M. 2003. The Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human Geography. 7th
ed. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson Education, Inc. p. 496).
4. Agriculture is the science of cultivating the soil, harvesting crops, and raising livestock and
also as the science or art of the production of plants and animals useful to man and in varying
degrees the preparation of such products for man's use and their disposal. Miller v. Dixon,
176 Neb. 659, 127 N.W.2d 203, 206 (Black, HC. 1990. Black's Law Dictionary: Definitions
of the Terms and Phrases of American and English Jurisprudence, Ancient and Modern. 6th
ed. St. Paul, Minn.: West Publishing Co. p. 68).
5. Agriculture includes farming in all its branches and among other things includes the
cultivation and tillage of the soil, dairying, the production, cultivation, growing, and
harvesting of any agricultural or horticultural commodities, the raising of livestock or poultry,
and any practices performed by a farmer on a farm as an incident to or in conjunction with
some farming operations, but does not include the manufacturing or processing of sugar,
coconuts, abaca, tobacco, pineapples or other farm products. (Rileco, Inc. v. Mindanao
Congress of Labor-Ramie United Workers Assn., 26 SCRA 224 [1968]. It also includes
production activities involving the use of saltbeds. (Lapina v. CAR, 21 SCRA 194 [1967]).

Definition of Urban area from five references:


1. The Census Bureaus urban-rural classification is fundamentally a delineation of
geographical areas, identifying both individual urban areas and the rural areas of the
nation. The Census Bureaus urban areas represent densely developed territory, and
encompass residential, commercial, and other non-residential urban land uses. The
Census Bureau delineates urban areas after each decennial census by applying
specified criteria to decennial census and other data.
2. Urban Areas are statistically defined areas with no administrative or legal basis. There
is a three part hierarchical sub-division of urban areas which are main, secondary and
minor urban areas. Together the populations in main, secondary and minor urban
areas comprise the statistically defined urban population of New Zealand. The urban
area classification is designed to identify concentrated urban or semi-urban
settlements without the distortions of administrative boundaries.

3. The definition of urban varies from country to country, and, with periodic
reclassification, can also vary within one country over time, making direct
comparisons difficult. An urban area can be defined by one or more of the following:
administrative criteria or political boundaries (e.g., area within the jurisdiction of a
municipality or town committee), a threshold population size (where the minimum for
an urban settlement is typically in the region of 2,000 people, although this varies
globally between 200 and 50,000), population density, economic function (e.g., where
a significant majority of the population is not primarily engaged in agriculture, or
where there is surplus employment) or the presence of urban characteristics (e.g.,
paved streets, electric lighting, sewerage). In 2010, 3.5 billion people lived in areas
classified as urban.

4. An urban area is the region surrounding a city. Most inhabitants of urban areas have
non-agricultural jobs. Urban areas are very developed, meaning there is a density of
human structures such as houses, commercial buildings, roads, bridges, and railways.
"Urban area" can refer to towns, cities, and suburbs. An urban area includes the city
itself, as well as the surrounding areas. Many urban areas are called metropolitan
areas, or "greater," as in Greater New York or Greater London. When two or more
metropolitan areas grow until they combine, the result may be known as
a megalopolis. Rural areas, often called "the country," have low population density
and large amounts of undeveloped land. Usually, the difference between a rural
area and an urban area is clear. But in developed countries with large populations,
such as Japan, the difference is becoming less clear.

5. Some urban areas may contain commercial and industrial districts, railway yards,
airports, parks and other uninhabited areas that result in dissemination blocks with
population densities of less than 400 persons per square kilometre.

Definition of Industrial from five references:


1. Areas allocated for industry within a town-planning scheme or environmental plan.
The range of industries accommodated in a plan may include: light industry, service
industry, general industry, hazardous, noxious or offensive industry, waterfront
industry, extractive industry. Standards are usually defined for industrial areas relating
to access and roads, drainage, car parking, aesthetics, landscaping, buffer zones, noise
levels, and air and water pollution.

2. The re-structuring of the industrial sector that has taken place in Hong Kong since the
launching of the 'open door' policy in China and the subsequent continuous economic
restructuring to be more service and knowledge-based have important implications on
the demand for industrial land, in both quantitative and qualitative terms.

3. According to the National Industrial Zoning Committee's (USA) 1967, which referred
to the industrial park or industrial estate is often called the Industrial Park is an
industrial area on the ground is quite wide, which are administratively controlled by a
person or an institution that is suitable for industrial activities, because location,
topography, zoning appropriate, the willingness of all infrastructure (utilities) and
transport accessibility.

4. Another definition, according to the Industrial Development Handbook of ULI (The


Urban Land Institute), Washington DC (1975), the industrial park is an area or a
region traditionally dominated by industrial activities. Industrial area usually have a
combination consisting of equipment manufacturers (industrial plants), research and
laboratories for the development, office buildings, banks, and other infrastructure
such as social and public facilities which include offices, housing, schools, places of
worship, outdoor and others. The terms of the industry in Indonesia is still new
relative. The term is used to express a sense of where the concentration of industrial
companies in a separate area. The industrial area is intended as the equivalent of an
industrial estate. Previously, the industry grouping so-called "industrial environment".

5. Indonesian industry in terms of the area refers to the decision of the President
(Presidential Decree) No. 41 of 1996. According to the decree, which referred to the
industrial area is the area of industrial activity center that is equipped with the
infrastructure and facilities which is developed and maintained by the Company for
Industry has permission of Industrial Zone.

Definition of risk area from three references:


1. Risk arising from various sources and at different scales and this will create a
situation detrimental to the system of human-environment interactions. The more
frequent disasters, growing facilities-are under threat of human-environment. The use
of facilities-concept are under threat becomes more meaningful if an understanding of
the theoretical and practical improvement on how and in which areas and people
vulnerable to disaster.
2. Risk area are under threat is an overall measure of human welfare and well-being that
combines the transparency of environmental, social, economic and political to limit

the potential for harmful interference (Bohle et al. 1994). This is easily explained, are
under threat is the social dimension of the space defined by efficiency determination,
political, economic and institutional residents in a particular area at a particular time.
3. Referring to the current situation in Malaysia, Abdul Samad Hadi (2000) defines risk
areas are under threat as a level that goes beyond the limits of a social system that
includes individual, household and community somewhere, withstand the destructive
effects of events biophysical and incidents caused by human activity during their
development.

Definition of empty space/area from references:


1. Space assigned to departments and organizational units whose functions are
instruction, research, public service, academic support, student services, institutional
support, operation and maintenance of physical plant, and certain auxiliary
enterprises.
2. Environmental Space offers a framework which is essentially based on social and
environmental science-based policy targets. The prism (the only geometrical body
with four corners each linked to all others) illustrates dimensions and interlinkages
and supports a balanced approach to sustainability policies and assessment with a
limited number of indicators. The notion of environmental space was coined by Hans
Opschoor in the early 1990s (Opschoor and Reinders, 1991), referring to a limitation
of various resources available for human consumption. It aimed at calculating the
reductions in resource use necessary to guaranty long-term availability of sufficient
reserves in order to avoid that resource scarcity might develop into a serious obstacle
for economic development in the next century (Weterings and Opschoor, 1992). This
concept of rather weak sustainability results nonetheless in quite dramatic reduction
needs for resource consumption within the next half century. Varying for different
substances like oil (85%), copper (80%), natural gas (70%), and biomass (60%), they
represent a challenge to the modernization process of the capital stocks cutting across
all sectors of business.
