ABSTRACT
Legal geography affords the opportunity to examine the effects of land use planning within the framework of planning law, regulation and spatial plans. This examination provides a context in which to review the implications for reform of the applicable approach to land use and related regulatory systems. There are numerous methods that can be utilised to address research questions relating to people, place and the law. Where the examination of human perspectives of land use is being undertaken then a phenomenological approach utilising key informant interviews is an appropriate method.
