Making use of something, sometimes it is also used how to get to a place to own it, as in wars, an example : The Nazi army occupied many cities during the Second World War. In hospitality is also made use of the verb : The hotel occupancy in this season is very high. I have seen that they mistakenly use this verb in the wrong way, since it has no relation to the verb needed. . . here are some examples that would make it even illogical to be used that way : I need to take up the position I have just given (in this example it would be incongruous if it had the meaning of; I need to need . . . something that sounds absurd apart from incongruous) another very simple example : I'm busy (I'm in need?? also in this case the one who wants to use it as synonym of needing is totally incongruous ) another example : In that tournament we occupy the 3rd, place (It would be neither logical nor consistent to refer to that in that event we needed the third place, but it is referred to that we managed to have that place ) It is important to use the language appropriately so that the language is not needed distort our language and also not to confuse the use of verbs or concepts that are held.
