ZONING
Zoning is the act and result of zoning : establishing zones in a certain area. The concept alludes to dividing a territory into different sectors, made up of certain criteria.
There are, therefore, multiple types of zoning. It is customary for urban or metropolitan planning of a city resort to zoning that creates residential areas, commercial areas, industrial areas, etc. Specific permits and authorizations for the development of activities and the use of the land apply in each zone, and specific rates and taxes are usually applied.
Through zoning it is defined what type of constructions can be built in each area and what destination can be given to the properties. In a residential area, to mention one possibility, you cannot build a chemical factory.
The zoning of ecosystems, on the other hand, is essential to correctly manage natural resources and preserve nature. This process favors the territorial ordering and allows the establishment of norms and a homogeneous management according to the characteristics.
For the zoning of ecosystems , the usefulness and vulnerability of natural resources, potential environmental risks and the use that the inhabitants give them, for example, are taken into account.
An air conditioning system , meanwhile, can appeal to zoning to heat and cool a house according to the needs of each environment. This saves energy, as one room is likely to be colder than another and requires less cooling in summer (and more heating in winter).
