Abstract Protected areas can be parts of larger ecosystems, and land use changes in the unprotected part of the ecosystems may threaten the biological diversity by affecting the ecological processes. The relationship between protected areas and their surroundings has been influential in understanding the role of spatial planning in nature conservation. This article focuses on the problem that Turkey’s protected areas are vulnerable to pressure and threats caused by land use changes. Spatial planning serving as a bridge between nature conservation and land use is the solution for effective nature conservation in Turkey. Thereby, the aim of this article is to develop a conceptual framework which offers spatial planning as an effective tool to bridge the gap between land use change and nature conservation. In this context, first literature review is conducted, and systematic conservation planning, evidence-based conservation planning, bioregional planning and national system planning are presented as effective planning methods in nature conservation. In addition to literature review, official national statistics and Convention on Biological Diversity’s country reports are utilized to shed light on Turkey’s current state. Finally, a conceptual framework is defined, the main differences with the current situation are revealed. The results indicate that an effective planning system for Turkey’s protected areas incorporates a holistic, target-oriented system defining the spatial planning process for protected areas. The spatial planning system to be developed in this context is also used by decision-makers in evaluating the ecological effectiveness of existing plans.

This study predicts future land-use changes and the resulting changes in habitat quality, suggesting a method for establishing land-use management to ensure sustainable wildlife habitats. The conservation effects were verified in terms of wild animal habitat quality according to the designation of protected areas. Land-use change until 2050 was predicted using the Dyna-Conversion of Land Use Change and its effects (Dyna-CLUE) model for Jeju Island, Korea, and the change in the quality of roe deer habitats was predicted using the Integrated Valuation and Environmental Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model. Results indicate that, compared to 2030, urbanized area increased by 42.55 km2, farmland decreased by 81.36 km2, and natural area increased by 38.82 km2 by 2050. The average habitat quality on Jeju Island was predicted to decrease from 0.306 in 2030 to 0.303 in 2050. The average habitat quality ranged from 0.477 in 2030 to 0.476 in 2050 in protected areas and 0.281 in 2030 to 0.278 in 2050 outside protected areas. Habitat quality in protected areas was relatively high, and its reduction was limited. Areas with lower habitat quality need approaches such as expanding greenery and improving its quality. By establishing appropriate land-use plans by predicting habitat quality, wildlife habitats can be better maintained and protected, which is a primary goal of green infrastructure.

ResumenA lo largo de las últimas décadas, los bosques en Centroamérica han sufrido grandes cambios en los usos de la tierra, así como la reducción de los diferentes tipos de bosques. Los efectos de esta reducción, sumado a estos cambios, podrían ser una fuerte amenaza para la diversidad de murciélagos, puesto que estos animales se especializan en cazar o buscar alimento en ambientes específicos. Dado que hay conocimiento limitado sobre la situación actual de riesgo o estado de conservación de los murciélagos de Honduras y en especial, de los murciélagos insectívoros, se evaluaron las potenciales amenazas generadas por los cambios de uso de la tierra y la consecuente reducción en las áreas naturales, tomando en cuenta cinco especies de murciélagos de la Familia Emballonuridae. Además se cuantificó el área bajo protección en los que se localizaron los embalonúridos y se determinaron los vacíos de conservación para cada una de las especies. Para esto se utilizaron los mapas de distribución de las especies y las capas de uso de la tierra 2001 y 2009 con lo que se lograron visualizar las tendencias del cambio de uso de la tierra entre ambos periodos. Los vacíos de conservación se determinaron usando las capas de áreas protegidas y microcuencas declaradas hasta el 2015 y se traslaparon con la distribución de las cinco especies de murciélagos. Los resultados del análisis del cambio en el uso de la tierra muestran una predominancia de los sistemas productivos humanos en todas las distribuciones de las diferentes especies de murciélagos, por lo cual el efecto potencial del cambio de uso de la tierra es alto. Por otro lado, las especies registran una baja proporción dentro de áreas bajo protección. La mayoría de las especies enfrentan cambios de uso de la tierra bastante marcados y bajos niveles de protección, especialmente las que se distribuyen en bosque seco y bosque de pino.Palabras clave: Gremios, Chiroptera, forrajeo, Saccopteryx, Peropteryx, Balantiopteryx.AbstractForests in Central America have suffered land use changes in the past decades, as well as a decrease in its size. The effects of this reduction, added to these changes, could represent a threat for bat diversity since these animals specialize in hunting or foraging in specific environments. Since there is scarce knowledge of the current situation or conservation status of bats in Honduras, specially of insectivorous bats, we assessed potential threats of land use change and the consequent reduction of natural areas regarding five species of bats belonging to the Emballonuridae family. We also quantified protected areas where Emballonuridae bats were located and defined conservation gaps for each species. To do this, we used species distribution maps and land use layers of 2001 and 2009, where we could visualize land use change tendency between both periods. Conservation gaps were defined using protected areas and micro-watersheds layers declared until 2015, which were overlapped with the distribution of the five bats species. The results of the analysis of land use change show a predominance of productive systems in the distribution of the different bat species, therefore land use change effect is potentially high. Also, species occurrence is low under protected areas. Most of the species confront a high level of land use change and low levels of protection, especially those that inhabit dry forest and pine forest.Key words: Guild, Chiroptera, forage, Saccopteryx, Peropteryx, Balanptioteryx.
