Resources and its Types on the basis of Ownership

On the Basis of Ownership

1.  Individual resources: The resources which are owned privately by individuals are called individual resources. e.g., plantation, pasture land, farmland, water in well, pond, etc.

2.  Community owned resources: The resources which are accessible to all the members of the community are known as community resources. E.g. grazing grounds, burial ground, ponds in village, public parks, etc.

3.  National resources: The resources which are under the control of nation/country are known as national resources. E.g. canal, coal mines , territorial sea, (upto 12 nautical miles from the coast) railway, etc. The country’s government has legal powers to acquire even private property for public welfare.

4.  International resources: The resources which are owned and regulated by international institutions are called international resources e.g., open sea used for peaceful navigation, open sky for flight movement, etc. The oceanic resources beyond 200 nautical miles of Exclusive Economic Zone belong to open sea.

Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is the sea zone prescribed by the United Nations Convention on the Law of Seas over which a state has special rights over the exploration and use of marine resources, including energy production. It stretches upto 200 nautical miles from the coastline.

Note India has got the right to mine manganese nodules from the bed of the Indian Ocean from that area, which lies beyond the exclusive economic zone.
