    This document provides an outline of topics to be covered in a geography class on resources and development. It will discuss what resources are, and provide classifications of resources based on origin (biotic and abiotic), exhaustibility (renewable and non-renewable), ownership (individual, community, national, international), and status of development (potential, developed stock, and reserves). Examples are given for each classification.

    CLASS 10 – GEOGRAPHY

    CHAPTER 1 – RESOURCES &


    DEVELOPMENT
    SESSION 1
    Topic Outlines

    What are resources?


    Classification of resources
     Based on origin – biotic and abiotic
     Based on exhaustibility – renewable and non-
    renewable
     Based on ownership – individual, community,
    national and international
     Based on status of development – potential,
    developed stock and reserves.
    What are Resources?

    Everything available in our environment which can


    be used to satisfy our needs, provided, it is
    technologically accessible, economically feasible and
    culturally acceptable.

    Human beings themselves are essential components


    of resources. They transform material available in
    the environment into resources and use them.
    Interdependent relationship between nature,
    technology and institutions

    Physical
    Environment
    (Nature)

    Human Beings

    Technology Institutions
    Types of Resources
    Classification of the resources on the following
    basis:

    Resources can be classified in the following ways:


    (a) On the basis of origin – biotic and abiotic
    (b) On the basis of exhaustibility – renewable and non-
    renewable
    (c) On the basis of ownership – individual,
    community, national and international
    (d) On the basis of the status of development –
    potential, developed stock and reserves
    (a) On the Basis of Origin – Biotic and Abiotic
    (B) On the basis of Exhaustibility
    (c) On the Basis of Ownership – Individual,
    Community, National and International
    Individual Resources are owned privately by individuals. In villages people
    own lands whereas in urban areas people own plots, houses and other properties.
    Eg: Plantation, pasture lands, ponds, water in wells etc.
    Community Owned Resources are accessible to all the members of the
    community.
    Eg: Grazing grounds, burial grounds, public parks, picnic spots, playgrounds etc.
    National Resources are owned by a nation or country. All the minerals, water
    resources, forests, wildlife, land within the political boundaries and oceanic area
    up to 12 nautical miles (22.2 km) from the coast termed as territorial water and
    resources therein belong to the nation.
    Eg: Roads, canals, railways etc.
    International Resources are regulated by international institutions. The
    oceanic resources beyond 200 nautical miles of the Exclusive Economic
    Zone belong to open ocean and no individual country can utilise these without the
    concurrence of international institutions.
    (D) On the basis of Development
    (d) On the Basis of the Status of Development
    – Potential, Developed Stock and Reserves
     Potential Resources are the resources which are found in a region but have
    not been utilised.
    Eg: Rajasthan and Gujarat have enormous potential for the development of
    wind and solar energy, but so far these have not been developed properly.
     Developed Resources: Resources which are surveyed and their quality and
    quantity have been determined for utilisation. The development of resources
    depends on technology and level of their feasibility.
    Materials in the environment which have the potential to satisfy human needs
    but human beings do not have the appropriate technology to access these, are
    called Stock.
    Eg: Hydrogen can be used as a rich source of energy. But we do not have
    advanced technology to use it.
     Reserves are the subset of the stock, which can be put into use with the help of
    existing technical ‘know-how’ but their use has not been started. These can be
    used for meeting future requirements.
    Eg: Water in the dams, forests etc. is a reserve which can be used in the future.
