There will be areas poorer in natural resources and areas richer in resources. All land areas are not evenly or equally productive. Devolution and creation of regional units cannot avoid these differences - some regions benefit from a coastline, other from other resources, gems, minerals and on. But all have to coexist coordinated by the Centre if there is to be fairer distribution of natural assets. No part of the environment is owned outright.
Land area is valuable for the settlement of the landless.
Widespread undeveloped areas suitable for settlement could be found in a country, and generally could be used to settle those living in close proximity to those areas. Further in several countries undeveloped land is not freely available. Therefore the area available is little and has to be used for agriculture intensively and scientifically to yield more. When a coastline abuts a particular region arrangements that benefit the regional populace and those could be entered into for accommodating visitors like migrant fishermen so as to use such coastal areas seasonally. Their identity, culture, language, religion and customs should be protected and safeguarded.
