Abstract
With only 19, 695 square miles of territory and some 800, 000 people, Costa Rica is next to the smallest of the Central American nations in both area and population. The country can conveniently be divided into four major geographic regions, namely the Caribbean Lowlands, the Central Highlands, Guanacaste, and the South Pacific Littoral (Map 1). But before describing each of these regions, which is the maim purpose of this paper, it seems desirable to summarize information about land utilization in the nation as a whole.
