Book excerpt: Excerpt from Open Space, Its Use and Preservation The generality of the term assures widespread support for any program labeled Open space. To many people, the term suggests something that is good; because of this, the idea of preserving Open space has broad appeal. On the negative side, the term is so all-encompassing that a general plea to preserve open space may engender support from diverse groups having disparate ideas about the use of open space. Recreationists, farmers, and conservationists may all want Open space-but for different purposes. Clashes between such groups may delay or prevent implementation of plans for Open space preservation. Many laws have been introduced and some enacted by State legislatures, study committees formed, and research papers written on the subject of open space, but the term generally is not defined. To some people, the definition hinges on use. But even those who agree that use is the major criterion differ about the type of use which may be included. Some consider large lots around suburban homes to be open space; others exclude lawns but include the common recreation area of a cluster of houses. Some consider farmland as Open space, while many others include only parks or recreation areas. Some consider open space to be either land or water; however, usually only land is included. Some say the land must be green, while others include stretches of brush or desert, and still others include areas of gravel, asphalt, or concrete.
