“…Land conversion pressure does appear greatest on the urban fringe (Hart 1991a, McClaran et al 1985, but the decision process for land conversion includes political, institutional and behavioral factors in addition to proximity (Furuseth and Pierce 1982). The public generally assumes that governmentinstituted land use regulations at local and regional levels control rangeland conversion.…”

“…The importance of rancher decisionmaking has been noted by a number of researchers (Hart 1991a(Hart , 1991b(Hart , 1976Berry and Plaut 1978), and is best summed by Johnson (1998): "a single ranch-owner's decision may spell the fate of many thousands of acres. Landowner decisions affect more than their own property, as nearby properties are also influenced through the fragmentation of land use, weakening of the agricultural infrastructure, changing land values, and the creation of new growth nodes in previously undeveloped areas.…”

“…Comparison of urban and rural ranchers allows identification of "transitional effects" that influence rancher decisions, such as rising land speculation, an increase in conflicts with community and neighbors, and loss of the "critical mass" of ranchers necessary to maintain agricultural support services and markets (Huntsinger and Hopkinson 1996, Hart 1991a, 1991b, Heimlich and Anderson 1987, Lisansky and Clark 1987, Berry and Plaut 1978. Rising land speculation can create an environment that encourages a feeling of impermanence; landowners expect to sell out for non-agricultural uses (Berry and Plaut 1978).…”

California ranchers in urban Alameda and Contra Costa Counties, and in rural Tehama County, were surveyed to examine effects of increasing development, land use change, and attrition of the ranching community on their commitment to ranching, and to assess land conservation program acceptability. Questions were about practices, reasons for ranching, and what influences ranching's future. Ranchers share much in common. Most enjoy ranching, "feeling close to the earth," living in a "good place for family life," and the camaraderie in the ranching community. They regularly carry out range improvements. Most believe that society is becoming "hostile to ranching." A dislike for outsider intervention and land use control prevails. Urban ranchers cared significantly less about the fate of their ranch if sold, and feared local land use planning much more. Rural ranchers overwhelmingly wanted their ranch to remain a productive ranch even if sold. No new ranchers appeared in the urban sample for the last 10 years. As urbanization proceeds, we suggest that a point is reached where ranchers recognize the social, ecological, and economic landscape as urban and see it as no longer suitable for ranching. Expecting to sell for development, and/or expecting zoning to change to allow it, becomes the rational view. Land conservation efforts, including relatively acceptable though as yet not widespread conservation easement programs, should begin before that happens.

“…The degradation of productive farmland, seminatural habitats, and water resources, largely driven by a combination of farm intensification and abandonment, eventually leads to a decline in farm income and even to the termination of farming operations altogether (Baldock et al, 2001;Gal, 2003). Urban encroachment results in a permanent loss of agricultural land, which is diverted to housing, industry and infrastructural projects and is very unlikely to be restored to agricultural or natural uses (Hart, 1991).…”

“…He notes that the peak wave of suburban development travels at a rate of one mile each decade. Subsequent research efforts pick up on the wave metaphor to describe suburban growth, including Hart [22] and Pond and Yeates [23]. The latter offer a five-stage development process that begins with agricultural development and ends with complete urbanization.…”

San Antonio 360: The Rise and Decline of the Concentric City 1890–2010

This paper catalogs the suburban expansion of San Antonio, Texas by decade between the years 1890 and 2009, a time frame that saw the city reorganize its morphological structure four times. The city inhabited a 36-square mile grid until the late nineteenth century; expanded radially along streetcar lines during the early twentieth century; grew concentrically along automotive ring roads during the mid-twentieth century; and has assumed a polycentric organization within the past two decades. This research places San Antonio's recent demographic and geographic boom into historical perspective, utilizing construction completions in host Bexar County to answer the following question: how did the form, location, and type of suburban growth shift over 120 years? The research reveals three trends: first, that historically concentric growth patterns began to assume a polycentric configuration in the late twentieth century; second, that patterns of centrifugal expansion began to accelerate dramatically during the same time period; and third, that the relative increase of multifamily completions has surpassed that of single-family completions in five of the last six decades. These findings suggest that the City of San Antonio, in order to establish a sustainable growth model, must prioritize the opportunities and constraints associated with polycentric suburban expansion.
