The main objective of this work is to determine the landscape planning alternatives populations that have a direct relationship with mangrove ecosystems (Bunche community). theoretical foundation Geo-ecology landscapes (GEL). phases were fulfilled are: i) characterization physical and natural landscape; ii) socio-cultural by participatory techniques, secondary information. techniques were: Work...

Background concepts of the landscape research performed at the Department of Geography of the University of Ghent are described, discussed and illustrated with some examples. The integrated approach is based upon holism, perception and evolution. Holism allows the link between landscape ecology and perception. It explains the interaction between structure and functioning and the importance of t...

The tourism debate prior to the COVID-19 pandemic was dominated by problems inherent in overtourism, reflecting an inadequate land management. Although publications on overtourism have grown exponentially recent years, its scientific study still has major shortcomings, particularly with regard measurement. With aim of overcoming this insufficiency, we carried out a review literature (using mapp...

Road development, traffic intensification, and collisions with wildlife represent a danger both for road safety species conservation. For planners, deciding which mitigation methods to apply is often problematic. Through kernel density estimate, we analyzed 715 crossing locations wildlife–vehicle (WVCs) involving brown bears, lynx, wolf, red deer, roe wild boar in the Southeastern Carpathian Mo...

Ecosystem service values have rarely been incorporated in the process of planning ecological infrastructure for urban areas. Urban ecological infrastructure is a network system of natural lands and waters that provides ecosystem services. The purpose of this study was to design landscape corridors that maximize the value of ecosystem services in ecological infrastructure planning. We explored t...
