This article defines the basic concept of land use information, enumerates its popular types in Japan, and discusses their problems. Land use information is defined as the combination of attribute information, i.e., land use classification, and location information, i.e., area division, expressed in a form for computers. It is ideal to use the spaces as units of individual land use action for location information, but their information is difficult to obtain. Therefore, approximate spaces are used. In terms of the land use classification and space, available types of land use information in Japan are examined, and the direction for the solution of their problems is proposed.
