Abstract:

The natural characteristics of protected areas have changed for a variety of reasons through time. Changes in protected area landscapes can occur because of natural and/or cultural processes. Natural processes such as geomorphological disturbance and climatic condition can permanently and/or temporarily change the characteristics of the environment. In addition, changes in human needs, knowledge and activities are the cultural driving forces behind changing characteristics of landscape through time. These changes can be studied both spatially and temporally. Spatially, protected area landsc

Abstract:

An ecological approach to land-use planning is essential to maintain the long-term sustainability of ecosystem benefits, services, and resources. Concern about environmental quality and the long-term livability of urban areas is now a driving force in urban planning and design. The interrelated issues of growth management, smart growth, sustainable development, and new urbanism are topics in the most vibrant discussions at all levels of planning and landscape architecture. Within this context, this study starts from the interest in the ecological planning and management in urban areas, especia

As long linear features in the landscape, interstates can function as landscape barriers and cause significant impacts to adjacent wildlife populations.

There is an ever-present demand for new housing in the UK, and current government policy dictates that this is to be built on both green and brown field sites.

There are many potent arguments in favour of using green and natural landscapes as part of new developments in urban settings, including physical, social and health benefits to humans.

Ecological planning relies on a keen awareness of relationships between biophysical and social processes, then uses this knowledge for decision making in accommodating for human needs. The value of this planning process allows for design intervention while also ensuring a sustained use of the landscape, with these insights blending skill and artistry into place-making. In the 1960s, environmental concerns galvanized a generation of landscape architects who first codified ecological planning as a rationale for decisions with environmental stewardship.

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis uses local narratives to explore relationships between agrarian landscapes, agrarian land use practices and the traditional cultural perspectives of traditional amaMpondo farming communities living along Pondoland‟s Wild Coast, on the East Coast of South Africa. This endeavour is based on theories that propose that human behaviour, including agrarian practice, is influenced by complex socio-cultural factors that shape cultural values, knowledge and world-views, and that are reflected in cultural narratives, and th

Abstract:

As discussões referentes às problemáticas ambientais derivadas de ações humanas são cada vez mais cotidianas, sendo que a gestão de recursos naturais torna-se cada vez mais complexa devido às interações entre os fatores ecológico, político, socioeconômico, demográfico e cultural. Uma das principais preocupações do planejamento urbano atual é a melhor integração dos diversos tipos de espaços urbanos, sendo que, dentre estes espaços, as áreas verdes urbanas apresentam papel fundamental na integração do diversos sistemas urbanos. No entanto, a grande maioria dos instrumentos utilizados pelos Órgã

Abstract:

La presión antropogénica es la amenaza preeminente para la biodiversidad, la resiliencia y el funcionamiento ecológico de los medios costero y marino. El desarrollo de respuestas efectivas a esta amenaza multifacética es un desafío importante para los gestores y responsables de la toma de decisiones, debido a la complejidad de los ecosistemas marinos poco conocidos. La interpretación ecológica fidedigna de los datos espaciales utilizando técnicas de ecología del paisaje marino tiene el potencial de ser una poderosa herramienta de gestión.
