What is the land use pattern in south Asia?
This paper is concerned with the consequences of population growth and its increasing density on land use pattern and its changes. For this purpose, the empirical evidences are drawn from FAO statistics with reference to Southeast Asian Countries. The paper attempted to provide both a regional and comparative perspective in understanding the relationship between population growth and land use changes. The study observed a steady growth in the human population during the last three decades, though the growth rate has declined during the nineties. The unequal distribution of population in terms of its size and growth was observed among the Southeast Asian Countries. The analysis indicated changes in land use pattern towards ‘arable and permanent cropland’ and ‘land not available for cultivation’. However, such a trend varied across Southeast Asian Countries significantly. The effect of population pressure on land use changes are examined both in a broad and narrow sense, which indicated growing population pressure on land, particularly on agricultural land resulting extensification. It is observed that extensification is made possible by shifting land from forest and pastureland, and also by shifting from ‘land not available for cultivation. The variations in the effect of population pressure on land use changes are observed across Southeast Asian countries.

The West wanted to colonize Southeast Asia due to the following reasons:
1. Economical reasons
i. Industrial Revolution
The industrial revolution took place in Europe from the late 18th to 19th centuries; the use of machinery and steam engines for the production of goods and the change from home to factory production sped up the European expansion in the East. The need for raw materials for the manufacture of goods, such as tin and rubber, the need for markets to sell the manufactured goods and the need for new fields for the European businessmen to invest their capital were also reasons of why European countries colonized Southeast Asia.
ii. Spice Trade and Straits Produce
Spice was a much desired commodity in Europe, and many European states desired to control the spice trade.
iii. Importance of China Trade
China had three valuable commodities, silk, porcelain and tea, which were in high demand in Europe. It was also a vast market for Europeans to sell their manufactured goods.
iv. Fear of Foreign Competition
The competition for raw materials and markets in Europe accelerated the colonization in South East Asia
2. Political reasons
i. National Pride and Glory
The Europeans believed that they were bringing glory and prestige to their home countries by acquiring colonies, and many of the European states wanted to prevent newly unified Germany from acquiring more colonies.
ii. To bring order, peace and stability to SEA countries
The chaotic political situation in parts of SEA disrupted European trade, and the European states needed to bring order and stability to enhance production of raw materials so as to increase trade.
3. Social reasons
i. Idealism
The European countries believed that their own culture and practices were superior, and that locals in SEA countries could not rule effectively. Therefore they wanted to help these SEA countries by colonizing them.
ii. Religion and Civilization
Some European powers came to Southeast Asia with the mission of spreading Christianity; for instance Spaniards wanted to obtain a base for religious activities in the Philippines.
Western powers also believed that European culture was superior and that they were bringing 'civilization' to the natives in the places they colonized, and were helping to improve their welfare.
