The main driving forces that generate pressures on land use are economic sectors like agriculture, transport, as well as the high level of urbanisation. The pressure level of the specific driving forces varies in different parts of the country.
The pressures on the agriculture area can be categorised as:
Urban spread of housing and commercial sites has occurred around larger cities, mainly the capitol Skopje and cities in the west of the country.
A small part of land take is for transport development, mostly linked to the construction of highways.
