   Question (previously Scope) Specifies a clear research question.
        This includes a question and a verbal definition of the spatial, temporal, and other limits
        (system boundaries) of the variable. The question is defined according to the use 
        purpose of the assessment(s) that the variable belongs to.
   Answer (previously Result) Answer to the research question.
        Contains anything that a reader needs to understand the answer. If possible, a numerical expression or distribution.
        If there is more than a single answer, i.e. the answer is actually a list of answers, a data table should be used.
        Contains also the unit(s) in which the answer is expressed.
   Rationale (previously Definition) Description about how the answer is derived.
        Rationale contains anything that is needed to convince a critical rational reader.
        Description of the data used for obtaining the value of the variable
        (e.g. measurement data; mathematical method and its parameters).

Land use in Urgenche which is contains 6 different cities such as

• Suzhou, China
• Xi’an, China
• Basel, Switzerland
• Kuopio, Finland
• Rotterdam, Netherlands
• Stuttgart, Germany
• Thessaloniki, Greece

Question

Developing the criteria for the land use in Urgenche cities?

Answer

In order to develop the classification system, every effort has been made to provide as much compatibility as possible with other classification system in land use and mapping. Special attention had been paid to the definitions of land use categories by other agencies. Definitions

• Urban or Built-up Land

An urban area is characterized by higher population density and vast human features in comparison to areas surrounding it. Urban areas may be cities, towns or conurbations, but the term is not commonly extended to rural settlements such as villages and hamlets. ^[1]

• Agricultural Land

Agricultural land (also agricultural area) denotes the land suitable for agricultural production, both crops and livestock. It is one of the main resources in agriculture. ^[2]

• Rangeland

Rangelands are vast natural landscapes in the form of grasslands, shrublands, woodlands, wetlands, and deserts. Types of rangelands include tallgrass and shortgrass prairies, desert grasslands and shrublands, woodlands, savannas, chaparrals, steppes, and tundras. Rangelands do not include barren desert, farmland, closed canopy forests, or land covered by solid rock, concrete and/or glaciers. ^[3]

• Forest Land

A forest, also referred to as a wood or the woods, is an area with a high density of trees. As with cities, depending on various cultural definitions, what is considered a forest may vary significantly in size and have different classifications according to how and what of the forest is composed. ^[4]

• Water

Water is a chemical substance with the chemical formula H2O. ^[5]

• Wetland

A wetland is a land area that is saturated with water, either permanently or seasonally, such that it takes on characteristics that distinguish it as a distinct ecosystem. ^[6]

• Barren Land

Barren Land is land of limited ability to support life and in which less than one-third of the area has vegetation or other cover. In general, it is an area of thin soil, sand, or rocks. ^[7]

• Tundra

Tundra is the term applied to the treeless regions beyond the limit of the boreal forest and above the altitudinal limit of trees in high mountain ranges. ^[8]

• Perennial Snow or Ice

Perennial Snowfields are accumulations of snow and firn that did not entirely melt during previous summers. Snowfields can be quite extensive and thus representative of a regional climate, or can be quite isolated and localized, when they are known by various terms, such as snowbanks ^[9]
