Linking Land Change with Driving Forces and Actors: Four Conceptual Models
Models in land change research are often chosen arbitrarily based on practical rather than theoretical considerations. More specifically, research on land change is often based on a research framework with three crucial elements – driving forces, actors, and land change – in an ad hoc and casespecific configuration. The lack of solid and widely applicable concepts about the conceptual link betw...
متن کاملLinking land cover dynamics with driving forces in mountain landscape of the Northwestern Iberian Peninsula
The mountainous areas of the northwestern Iberian Peninsula have undergone intense land abandonment. In this work, we wanted to determine if the abandonment of the rural areas was the main driver of landscape dynamics in Gerês–Xurés Transboundary Biosphere Reserve (NW Iberian Peninsula), or if other factors, such as wildfires and the land management were also directly affecting these spatio-tem...
متن کاملUnderstanding Driving Forces and Implications Associated with the Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Portugal
Understanding the processes of land use and land cover changes (LUCC) and the associated driving forces is important for achieving sustainable development. This paper presents the LUCC in Portugal at the regional level (NUTS II) from 1995 to 2010 and discusses the main driving forces and implications associated with these LUCC. The main objectives of this work are: (a) to quantify the land use ...
متن کاملLand use change and its driving forces on the Tibetan Plateau during 1990 – 2000
Rapid economic development has spurred land use change in China since the Chinese government initiated its economic reform in 1978. Although many papers have analyzed the characteristics of land use change, especially cropland conversion to non-agricultural use affected by economic development in the developed regions of China, relatively less attention has been paid to studying the characteris...
متن کاملExamining Land Use and Land Cover Spatiotemporal Change and Driving Forces in Beijing from 1978 to 2010
Land use and land cover (LULC) datasets for Beijing in 1978, 1987, 1992, 2000 and 2010 were developed from Landsat images using the object-oriented classification approach. The relationships between social-economic, demographic and political factors and time-series LULC data were examined for the periods between 1978 and 2010. The results showed the effectiveness of using the object-oriented de...
