Abstract Research on ecosystem services and landscape functions are highly important in landscape ecology, landscape planning and open space design. The terms of ecosystem service and landscape function have been evolved parallel to each other in the scientific literature but have different focus. The term of landscape functions evolved from the scientific field of landscape ecology; it reflects the goods and services provided by regions, landscapes where the cultural, economic factors are important as well.

Abstract:
For the first time in human history, more people live in urban areas than in rural areas, and the patterns of suburbanization and urban sprawl once characteristic of North America are now present globally (Obaid 2007). As conservation biologists seek to prioritize conservation efforts worldwide, urbanization and agricultural development emerge as two of the most extensive processes that threaten biodiversity. Suburban and rural sprawl are significant drivers of forest fragmentation and biodiversity loss (e.g., Murphy 1988; Radeloff et al. 2005). Data on human impacts is often averaged across political boundaries rather than biogeographic boundaries, making it challenging to use existing data sets on human demography in ecological studies and relate human population change to the changes in populations of other species. Remotely sensed data can make major contributions to mapping human impacts in ecologically relevant ways. For example, Ricketts and Imhoff (2003) assigned conservation priorities (based on species richness and endemism) for the United States and Canada using several different types of remotely sensed data. For mapping urban cover, they used the map of “city lights at night” from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (Imhoff et al. 1997) to classify land as urbanized or not urbanized. For mapping agricultural cover, they used the USGS North America Seasonal Land Cover map (Loveland et al. 2000), derived from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), lumping five categories to create an agricultural land class. For ecological data, they used a compilation of ecoregion boundaries combined with range maps for over 20,000 species in eight taxa (birds, mammals, butterflies, amphibians, reptiles, land snails, tiger beetles, and vascular plants; Ricketts et al. 1999). Analyzing these data, Ricketts and Imhoff (2003) identified a strong correlation between species richness and urbanization. Of the 110 ecoregions studied, 18 ranked in the top third for both urbanization and biodiversity (species richness, endemism, or both); some of the ecoregions identified as priorities were not identified by a previous biodiversity assessment that did not include the remotely sensed mapping of urbanization (Ricketts et al. 1999).

Abstract:
In November 2006, just as the real estate bubble was running out of hot air, Arizona voters approved a proposition with drastic consequences for land-use regulation. Proposition 207 was promoted as a property-rights initiative that barred municipalities from taking private property through eminent domain for some other private development. In this respect, it was a direct response to the Supreme Court’s 2005 Kelo ruling, which had partially legalized such powers. But a more far-reaching, and less publicized, provision of the Arizona proposition required local governments to compensate property owners if a government action, such as a zoning change or enactment of an environmental or other land-use law, led to a drop in the property’s value. Bankrolled by Howard Rich, a libertarian developer tycoon from New York, the initiative was pushed onto the ballot in several states, but Arizona voters were the only ones to bite. Passage of the proposition put a large question mark over all plans to alter land use in the state. Fear of lawsuits that could drain their coffers prompted city officials to think twice about making any changes to zoning ordinances, the bread and butter of municipal planning. More comprehensive eff orts at regulating fringe growth or re-urbanizing downtown areas were beset by uncertainty about the newly hostile legal landscape. Prop 207 was the latest, and most urban, challenge to the exercise of government power over land use in the West. The Sagebrush rebellion of the 1970s and 1980s, which pushed for more local control over public land holdings, was a rural assault on federal regulatory efforts such as the protection of environmentally sensitive land as wilderness. The ensuing rise of the anti-takings movement, launched by Richard Epstein’s 1985 book, Takings : Private Property and the Power of Eminent Domain was also directed against government support for environmentally minded initiatives like smart growth. Fallout from these backlashes turned the West into a prime zone of conflict over land use.

Abstract:
This chapter explores tensions around land use in South Los Angeles, and grassroots efforts to revitalize the local food landscape (or “foodscape”). It argues that the notion of food sovereignty—a concept usually applied to rural settings—provides a useful framework to theorize struggles for self-determination and food autonomy in urban spaces. The term “citified sovereignty” is offered as a way to understand liberatory urban agriculture and food justice projects that are economically and spatially restricted by gentrification, neoliberal development, and privatized land ownership. Despite LA’s infamous sprawling terrain, the burgeoning sustainable foodscape is not comprised of acres or hectares of growing space. Sometimes there are only potted plants on a front porch, or a few square feet of parkway space between the sidewalk and the street. Adding “citified” to sovereignty asks us to imagine what kinds of revolutionary, autonomous (or relatively autonomous) food systems are possible in globalized urban cities where claims to space are fraught and contested.

Full text
Abstract:
Over the last two decades the concept of applied archaeology has been used increasingly to refer to how archaeology can contribute more broadly to society at large. Depending on the intellectual and geographical context there are many different ways that applied archaeology is understood. One important set of approaches builds on the standard definition of applied science as the application of scientific knowledge in creative problem-solving. Many archaeologists find that evidence which sheds light on resource exploitation strategies in the past is particularly rewarding in this regard, arguing that the insights gained from archaeological research can guide land use planning and resource management and make a positive impact on local livelihoods for people today and in the future (Costanza et al. 2007a; Hayashida 2005). This kind of applied archaeology is usually associated with rural livelihood development, but there is also an emerging applied archaeology of land use planning in predominantly urban sectors (Smith 2010). Some of the most prolific projects of applied agro-archaeology for rural development are those engaging in rejuvenating prehistoric agricultural features that have fallen into disuse or are being mismanaged. Groundbreaking applied agro-archaeology in the Andean region demonstrates considerable advances in this field, reconstructing abandoned raised fields, irrigation canals, and cultivation terraces in order to understand pre-Hispanic agricultural systems and long-term land-use dynamics and to re-apply ancient technologies for contemporary use (Chepstow-Lusty and Winfield 2000; Erickson 1985, 1994, 1998; Kendall 1997b, 2005, Chapter 9 this volume). The Andes are exceptionally rich in archaeological remains of pre-Hispanic agriculture and demonstrate considerable diversity in peoples’ approaches in the past in addressing the many different managerial issues associated with sustaining a farming livelihood in these environments (Denevan 2001; Donkin 1979). Linking the broad scope of applied agro-archaeology to the theoretical framework of historical ecology (Balée 1998, 2006; Balée and Erickson 2006; Crumley 1994, 2000, 2007), the motive of this contribution is to discuss some of the problems and opportunities facing an on-going applied agro-archaeological project in the Yungas of the Bolivian Andes (Isendahl 2008).

Abstract:
This volume has traced the development of the Mediterranean landscape over very long timescales and has examined modern processes in a wide range of settings. Earlier chapters have explored tectonic processes and the evolution of the topography and biota, the nature and impact of Quaternary climate change, and natural hazards, as well as the increasing role of human activity in shaping geomorphological processes and ecosystems during the course of the postglacial period. A core theme in several chapters is the nature of the relationship between humans and the Mediterranean environment. Over the last one hundred years or so, and especially in the period since the Second World War, this relationship has changed dramatically. Resource exploitation, urban expansion, and rural depopulation have all taken place at unprecedented rates, with major impacts upon the quality of land, water, air, and ecosystems. The final part of this volume examines four key topics of environmental concern; its four chapters explore, respectively, land degradation, water resources, interactions between air quality and the climate system, and biodiversity and conservation. Where possible, it is important to place these issues within an appropriate historical perspective. Many components of the Mediterranean environment have responded in a sensitive way to past environmental changes, but the pressures on land and water resources have never been more intense. Improved monitoring networks and new modelling efforts are needed to predict more effectively the impact of climate and social change on all environmental systems and to help inform policymakers seeking a more sustainable use of the region’s resources. Chapter 20 examines the ecological aspects of land degradation and sets out new ideas on productivity dynamics. It explores some of the interactions between land use change, vegetation dynamics, grazing patterns and wildfires. The uneven geography of water resources and water use are highlighted in Chapter 21. Water resource issues have become an increasingly important factor in the geopolitics of the region against a background of climate change uncertainty, rising demand, and a diminishing resource base. Chapter 22 analyses the interactions between climate, air quality, and the water cycle.

The CAI coefficient is the ratio of the sum of percentile areas of land characterized by considerable human impact in relation to the sum of percentile areas of lands with low or none anthropogenic pressure. The CES index describes the structure of land use in one unit according to land use categories weighted by given coefficients. The calculation of the complex integral index

Abstract:
In rural development land use projects it is important to assess the impact of solutions on sustainability of territory development and the planned field of activity as well as economic, social, natural environment and landscape. The article is intended to find out whether projects are prepared on the basis of all legal acts and regulations. New methodology which could assist in analyzing and evaluating solutions of rural development land use projects concerning selection of a location for a farmstead and/or construction area of buildings essential for agriculture is proposed.

Abstract:
To identify priorities for urban environmental management and formulate appropriate projects and programs, it is necessary to know environmental problems and their impacts on humans and the ecosystem. Cities are not static entities and the future of urban ecology depends on understanding the ways in which humans affect environment. To fully understand it, it requires viewing humans as part of ecosystem and taking into account their attitudes, activities and behaviours. The paper reports results of an empirical research about citizens’ attitude towards environment and urban ecology. The objecti

Abstract:
Land consolidation in the European Union is not only a tool used to improve the economy of rural areas. When setting goals for land consolidation, one should take into account the social and environmental aspects. The sociocultural needs related to use of natural resources of rural landscape, cultural heritage, agritourism or technical infrastructure are as important as the profit earned by farms; they also help to maintain the harmony with the natural environment. For land consolidation to play a significant role in developing a strategy of multifunctional and sustainable development of rural

Abstract:
Landscape change has been extensively documented throughout rural Europe over the past decades. The dominating tendencies are intensification of agriculture and land marginalization. In territories of former USSR radical land use changes have shattered rural landscape structure throughout the 20th century, which in many cases have led to land marginalization in form of abandonment of agricultural lands and subsequent uncontrolled afforestation. This process is especially evident in mosaic type landscapes – landscapes of small intertwining structure of patches of agricultural land and forests.

Abstract:
Governance is a difficult task in the context of achieving landscape multifunctionality owing to the multiplicity of stakeholders, institutions, scale and ecosystem services: the ‘many-multiple’ (Cockburn et al 2018). Governing and managing the physical landscape and the actors in the landscape requires intensive knowledge and good planning systems. Land-use planning is a powerful instrument in landscape governance because it directly guides how actors will intervene in the physical landscape (land use) to gain commonly desired value. It is essential for sustaining rural landscapes and improvi

Integrated landscape management for sustainable livelihoods and positive environmental outcomes has been desired by many developing countries, especially for mountainous areas where agricultural activities, if not well managed, will likely degrade vulnerable landscapes. This research was an attempt to characterize the landscape in Chieng Yen Commune, Son La Province in Northwest Viet Nam to generate knowledge and understanding of local conditions and to propose a workable governance mechanism to sustainably manage the landscape.
