This category includes threats from human settlements or other non-agricultural land uses with a substantial footprint.
These are threats tied to a defined and relatively compact area, which distinguishes them from those in Transportation & Service Corridors which have a long narrow footprint, and Human Intrusions & Disturbance which do not have an explicit footprint.

]]>This category obviously dovetails somewhat arbitrarily with Commercial and Industrial Areas. As a general rule, however, if people live in the development, it should fall into this category.
Examples include: urban areas, suburbs, villages, ranchettes, vacation homes, shopping areas, offices, schools, hospitals, birds flying into windows, land reclamation or expanding human habitation that causes habitat degradation in riverine, estuary and coastal areas, etc.

Be careful not to confuse this category, which focuses on the habitat effects of recreation areas, with those in Recreational Activities, which focuses on the disturbance effects posed by recreation.
Examples include: ski areas, golf courses, resorts, cricket fields, county parks, afghan goat polo fields, campgrounds, coastal and estuarine tourist resorts, etc.
