Landscape metrics are useful tools in investigating spatial structure and in describing the heterogeneity of landscapes, but are sensitive to grain size. Thus, it is necessary to determine the appropriate grain size before researching landscape patterns. However, there have been few large-scale investigations in high-precision research about the effect of grain size on landscape patterns, espec...

In a greening Arctic, Iceland stands out as an area with very high increases in the AVHRR Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI, 1982–2010). We investigated the possible sources of this anomalous greening in Iceland’s dynamic landscape, analyzing changes due to volcanism and warming temperatures, and the effects of agricultural and industrial land use changes. The analysis showed the inc...

This paper investigated the need for inquiry of landscape values and public participation within decision-making process on spatial changes. They are taken into account as an important segment in harmonization conservation development requirements planning sustainable development. The method obtaining that information was established, new approaches research were tested through perception its f...

Using spatial econometric techniques and local statistics, this study explores the relationships between real estate values in Tuscany with individual perception of satisfaction by landscape types. The analysis includes usual territorial variables such as proximity to urban centres roads. are measured through a sample respondents who expressed their aesthetic-visual perceptions different types ...

extended abstract 1. introduction city is a living creature formed through the interaction of different forces in unique substantiality. one of the main aspects of each city is its landscape; urban landscape is the experience of people as the members of society. landscape is an objective and subjective phenomenon that is the part of peoples’ nature in a city. in fact, the process of landscape p...

Cities are complex urban systems with dynamic transformations in their socio-economic and environmental dimensions. Several studies have shed light on the fragility of heritage strategies its conservation. The historic landscape (HUL) approach is a new framework adopted by UNESCO to deal heritage. This article aims apply HUL rehabilitation management Beirut neighbourhoods impacted massive port ...

This study aimed at modeling scenarios of future land use and cover (LULC) change estimating ecosystem service (ES) values for the year 2051 compared to 2021 in Central Ethiopia. The LULC changes were simulated four scenarios, namely Business-as-Usual (BAU), Rapid Agricultural Expansion (RAE), Ecosystems Protection Development (EPAD) Landscape Restoration Conservation (LERC). based on anticipat...
