Ecological destruction in human-dominated landscapes has significant impacts on environment sustainability internationally. Landscape planning can play a role in mitigating the effects of human-related activities. One element of landscape planning involves the analysis of the biological, spatial and social arrangement of areas in an urban environment and identifying characteristics that are und...

this study is designed, aiming to detect changes in the composition and configuration of landscape in rasht township between 1989 and 2011. it has been conducted applying synoptic analysis. hence, landscape maps have been generated from three tm satellite images at 1987, 1999 and 2011 applying hybrid classification method. some composition and configuration-based metrics including np, pd, lsi, ...

introduction this study is dealt with the environmental planning from a bio-cybernetic and hierarchical systems viewpoint within the context of landscape ecology. this viewpoint requires not only knowledge of the science of ecology but also ecological wisdom in order to recognize the place of humankind in nature. the conceptual and practical approach which is provided will help landscape planne...

conclusions the present research demonstrated that the ultrasonic (us) process can be utilized as an effective and simple method for treatment of mg dye in an aqueous solution. moreover, the eeo is directly proportional to the mg concentration and power density and inversely proportional to temperature and mechanical agitation, which can be predicted by the obtained empirical kinetics model. co...

Sustainable development is a widely accepted strategic framework for decisionmaking about the future use of land, but it is not very well adopted in landscape research and planning. Sustainable landscape development aims to ensure the longterm potential of the landscape to sustain ecological, cultural and economic functions. It also entails that local actors take part in planning and design of ...

environmental impact assessment (ela) today is a planning tool that is used for the prediction of environmental impacts. there are several methods to assess environmental impacts in the world and iran as well. among them system analysis approach using degradation model (makhdoum, 1996) has shown it's effectiveness. degradation model is used at different levels including the basin , catchme...
