Spatio Temporal

Frequent land-use changes might produce a large amount of historical data which are valuable for data mining and decision-making. Based on the traditional Whole-state-recording Mode, the Special-state-recording Mode was proposed, focusing on the temporal aspect. This mode could optimize the land use database and reduce redundant change record. It could also improve data rollback and historical backtracking functions. The mode was successfully applied to land use planning in Zhejiang Province.

Land Use Decisions

Purpose – Land use change in the Alpine Regions is dominated by two main factors: a process of re-naturalization and a process of expansion for settlements with the relevant occupation of low-valley areas. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of land take measures in the Lombardy Alpine context and the recent proposals of spatial planning instruments for land resource management. New solutions to limit soil sealing have to be confronted with qualitative proposals at local scale. Design/methodology/approach – The paper collects different research outputs regarding land take in the Italian Alpine context and carried out by GIS software and tries to show the new methodologies available for limiting and mitigating soil sealing, in accordance with DIAMONT aims. Findings – The paper argues that the data are now available to analyze the problem and new operative methods have to be settled in the recent context of European Union (Soil Sealing Guidelines) to support decision making in planning, suggesting land use allocation and possible ecological compensation. Research limitations/implications – The new qualitative decision models have to be assessed for a better ecological integration in supporting land use decisions. Practical implications – An evaluation of land take at local scale caused by land use changes is a good support in the decision-making process of planning. Originality/value – In this paper a method based on a local scale is reported, which can be used for the specific assessment of land take in order to support land-use decisions.

Land use change has been commonplace in Northland during the 1970s and early 1980s. The region illustrates better than any other both the adjustments to pastoral farming and the diversification of land use that are observable in many parts of New Zealand. Most of the changes in land use are well known. The expansion of exotic forestry is visible and controversial, horticultural diversification has received considerable publicity, and the commercial potential of goat farming has also attracted attention in the region. The emergence of specialised beef farms, often in conjunction with part-time farming, has received less attention. Although the changes in land use are recognised, their extent and the processes by which they have come about are less well understood. This paper establishes the dimensions of the land use changes in Northland and identifies aspects of the decision making of the individuals and corporations involved in the changes. Much of the data on which this discussion is based are derived from a series of theses and research reports completedin the Department of Geography, University of Auckland, (Kearns 1982; Wheeler 1982; Anderson and Moran 1983; Kearns and Moran 1984; Hardy 1985; Revington 1984; Wheeler and Moran 1985; Maunier, Moran and Anderson 1985).

<p>Land use and climate change are important drivers of environmental change and pose a major threat to ecosystems. Although systemic feedbacks between climate and land use changes are expected to have important impacts, research has rarely focused on the interaction between the two drivers. One reason for this could be that forecasts of land use are hardly available on suitable spatial and thematic scales. Agent-based models (ABMs) represent a potentially powerful tool for creating thematic and spatially fine-grained land use scenarios. In order to derive such scenarios, the complex interaction between land users (e.g. farmers) and the broader socio-economic context in which they operate must be taken into account. On landscape to regional scales, agent-based modelling (ABM) is one way to adequately consider these intricacies. ABMs simulate human decisions, and with individual land owners/users as agents, they can simulate usage paths for individual plots of land in thematically fine resolution. Ideally, these simulations are based on an understanding of how farmers make decisions, including anticipated strategies, adaptive behavior and social interactions. In order to develop such an understanding, participatory approaches are useful because they incorporate stakeholders' perspectives into the model calibration, thereby taking into account culture and traditions that often play an important role in land use decisions. A greater proximity to stakeholder perspectives also increases the political relevance of such land use models. Here we present an example where we developed an ABM (SECLAND) parameterised for 1,329 stakeholders, mostly farmers, in the LTSER region Eisenwurzen (Austria) and simulate the changes in land use patterns resulting from their response to three scenarios of changing socio-economic conditions. Summarized in broad categories, the study region currently consists of 67% deciduous and coniferous forests (including logging), 19% grassland, 9% agricultural land and 6% alpine areas. SECLAND simulated small to moderate changes in these percentages until 2050, with little difference between the scenarios. In general, an increase in forests is predicted at the expense of grasslands. The size of agricultural land remains approximately constant. At the level of the 22 land use classes, the trends between the land use change scenarios differ more strongly. This ABM at the individual or farm level is combined with biodiversity and biogeochemical models that analyse how landowners' decision-making affects various ecosystem parameters. We conclude that agent-based modelling is a powerful tool for integrating land use and climate effects into ecosystem projections, especially at regional level.</p>

Interest in land-use changes (LUC) research has been growing rapidly in recent years. This topic has already become the subject of a separate scientific discipline – land use science (or land change science). In order to formulate relevant future policy and develop appropriate land-use management tools, it is crucial to know how the LUC шьзфсе the environment and society condition. For Ukraine, where the structure of land use and the system of land resources management have significantly changed during the years of post-socialist transformation of land relations, the study of the LUC on a modern methodological basis is especially actual. The paper, based on a critical analysis of publications in leading international journals over the last thirty years, identifies key directions of LUC studies and analyzes their methodological features. There is a significant increase of the number of works based on the results of meta-studies and the use of a wide range of methods for modeling the LUC processes, their causes and possible consequences. The great "synergistic potential" of integration of the selected directions is noted, which makes it possible to accelerate the development of the general theory of land use and increase its use efficiency in substantiation of management decisions in the sphere of land use and modernization of the mechanisms of state land, spatial and ecological policies with consideration of existing and potential globalizing challenges. In this context, the key role of the land use integrated planning methodology at regional and local levels is emphasized. This methodology would require close cooperation between government, business and the public in developing a common vision for the implementation of specific land use plans and projects based on the principles of subsidiarity, participativity and shared responsibility.
