This is the second of two book chapters providing a meta-analysis of the demographic-socio-economic aspects of LCLUC (Land Cover/Land Use Change) in island states and countries, focusing on developing regions of the world. This chapter covers three broad topics in terms of their linkages with land use: population growth and migration, urbanization, and tourism, recognizing that there are inter-linkages across them as well as with the topics covered in the earlier chapter – agriculture, forest cover, economics, and modelling of linkages with land use. These broader linkages are also important for understanding how land use on islands is likely to continue in the future, as populations grow and move, economies grow, global warming continues, technology evolves, and country and global policies change.URL
