sequent occupance  

Definition

  • Sequent occupance is a model of landscape change that was widely adopted by American geographers from the 1930s through the 1950s. It views the landscape as a series of superimposed patterns accumulating as culturally distinct ways of life (modes of occupance) that leave their imprint on the land.
