What are compatible and incompatible land uses?

Compatible land uses are those that can coexist without causing significant conflicts or negative impacts on each other, such as residential areas near parks or commercial spaces adjacent to offices. Incompatible land uses, on the other hand, are those that may create conflicts or detrimental effects, like industrial facilities near residential neighborhoods, which can lead to issues such as noise, pollution, and decreased property values. Effective land-use planning aims to promote compatible uses while mitigating or separating incompatible ones.
