Objetivou-se com este estudo definir uma metodologia de planejamento que possibilite a análise da estrutura de determinada paisagem e de suas características bióticas e abióticas, para a elaboração de um zoneamento adequado do uso do solo. As principais diretrizes do estudo foram a manutenção da estabilidade hídrica e o aumento da conectividade na microbacia, por meio da identificação de zonas de maior fragilidade ambiental, considerando a hidrografia, a geomorfologia, a pedologia e a distribuição dos fragmentos florestais remanescentes. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada com auxílio de imagens de satélite e fotografias aéreas em uma microbacia com 4.629,47 ha no entorno do Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, Terceiro Planalto Paranaense. Foram efetuados diferentes diagnósticos dos aspectos bióticos e abióticos, resultando em uma simulação do uso adequado do solo e no aumento da conectividade com a formação de corredor ecológico. A aplicabilidade do método foi demonstrada com a simulação de zonas para conservação e recuperação, que representaram 34,4% da área da microbacia nas zonas de menor potencial de utilização agropecuária, em função da fragilidade de seus solos. Os resultados demonstraram que ganhos ambientais significativos podem ser obtidos com a aplicação da metodologia, proporcionando o aumento da conectividade entre os fragmentos remanescentes. Palavras-chave: Fragmentação; ecologia de paisagens; conservação da biodiversidade.   Abstract Methodology for planning fragmented landscapes aiming the creation of Ecological Corridors. The purpose of this study is to develop a planning methodology which makes analyses of the structure of a certain landscape possible, as well as its biotic and abiotic characteristics in order to elaborate an adequate land use planning. Moreover, the guidelines of this study were maintenance of hydric stability and increasing of connectivity in the watershed by identification of regions with great environmental fragility, considering hydrography, geomorphology, pedology, and remaining forest patches. In field survey, satellite image and aerial photographs were used. The watershed studied has 4,629.47 ha and is located near Iguaçu National Park on the third Paraná plateau. Several biotic and abiotic aspects were distinguished in order to simulate an adequate land use and to establish a biodiversity corridor. This method was validated by simulating conservation and recovery zones, which cover 34.4% of watershed area. Such zones represent low potential regarding crops and cattle raising due to their fragile soil. Results showed the applicability of the methodology used, reflecting environmental gains, providing the increasing of connectivity among remaining forest patches. Keywords: Fragmentation; landscape ecology; biodiversity conservation.

Resumen Este artículo presenta los pasos metodológicos para el análisis histórico del uso del suelo usando sistemas geográficos de información, SIG, y sensores remotos, SR. Así mismo, muestra la aplicación de estas técnicas a un estudio de caso para la producción de herramientas digitales que puedan servir para planear y administrar zonas agrícolas de una forma eficiente y sostenible. En el estudio se describe como fotos aéreas de 1973 a 2001, y una imagen de satélite, fueron usadas para generar mapas básicos, mapas de cambio de uso del suelo, así como de unidades administrativas agrícolas. En este estudio se muestra como los mapas y tablas además de otros análisis generados con los sistemas SIG-SR se convierten en una importante estructura analítica para la toma de decisiones en el sector rural. Palabras clave: Uso del suelo, planificación rural, SIG, sostenibilidad   Abstract This paper discusses the use of geographic information systems, GIS, supported by remote sensing, RS, data as an important tool in the day to day decision making process on agriculture areas. The study is used to demonstrate how historical aerial photographs and a satellite image from 1973 to 2001 were used to produce land use, and land use change maps as well as maps of agriculture units for the study area that are later used for planning purposes of agriculture activities. The paper summarizes the methodological steps followed in the GIS analysis and the way that GIS-RS systems can be used in rural areas to plan and to manage day to day activities in agriculture areas under the philosophy of sustainable agriculture. Keywords: Sustainable agriculture, GIS, rural planning

In recording actual land use field-by-field or block-by-block methods can be applied either to detailed maps or to aerial photographs. In land-use mapping the usual scales are 1:25,000 for urban areas, 1:50,000 for densely settled areas with complex land-use patterns, and 1:250,000 for sparsely settled areas. In preparation of the map manuscript the base sheet used is of the material known as cronaflex and the transfer and reduction of information is achieved by use of the “reflex map reducer” a device invented by a geographer on the staff of the Geographical Branch.

AbstractIn March 1984 the British Geological Survey commenced an environmental geological study of parts of west Wiltshire and south east Avon for the Department of the Environment. The objective of this study was to collect the available geological data relevant to the area, and to present them as a series of thematic maps accompanied by a descriptive report and a database/archive of the data used.The output is intended to be used by land-use planners. It is designed simultaneously to be understandable by people not trained in geology and yet to contain detailed information required by specialists concerned with the environment and its development. The 14 maps which were produced describe themes which include solid lithostratigraphy, drift deposits, the inferred distribution of Great Oolite Freestone, the inferred distribution of fuller’s earth, groundwater, ground conditions in relation to groundwater, geotechnical properties of bedrock and superficial deposits, landslipped and cambered strata, distribution of slope angle, and mining.Although the task was primarily a desk study, it was found necessary to carry out a small amount of field survey to re-interpret the foundered strata to the north-west of Bath. This re-survey has been presented in a style consistent with the mapping of the rest of the study area. A fifteenth map showing the result of the re-interpretation of the foundered strata was produced as a supplement to the main report.This paper describes the methods and the results of this study and comments on the implications of the technique for land-use planning.

SUMMARYThe ‘arc of deforestation’ of southern Amazonia has one of the highest deforestation rates documented anywhere in the world. Landscape changes in a poorly studied but strategically important region in the Brazilian Amazon were studied using biennial Landsat TM/ETM+ images from 1984 to 2004. Deforestation rate for the period 1984–2004 was 2.47% yr−1 in the 7295 km2 study area, but decreased to 1.99% and 2.15% in 2000–2002 and 2002–2004, respectively. Landscape structure changes were characterized by smaller forest patches that were further apart, but increasingly complex in shape. Deforestation was mainly driven by cattle ranching, which in turn was affected by distance to roads, with forest cover increasing at greater distances from roads. A multi-layer perceptron was used to develop future scenarios based on Markov Chain analysis. Based on current land use, forest cover in the region will decline from 42% in 2004 to 21% by 2016. Results indicate a critical threshold at 51% of forest cover in which landscape structure and connectivity changes abruptly. This suggests that the region requires greater efforts in environmental law enforcement, land-use planning and education programmes to maintain the remaining forest cover near this threshold.

SummaryThe small oval burial mound at Alfriston, East Sussex, being one of only twelve certain burial structures of the 3rd millennium bc in Sussex, was totally excavated in 1974 prior to its final obliteration by ploughing. The barrow was found to consist of a simple dump mound derived from material out of flanking ditches. It covered a single burial pit containing the crouched skeleton of a young female. Information concerning the post-Neolithic land use of Alfriston Down was obtained from the ditch silts and expanded by an intensive field survey.

The Mono Transboundary Biosphere Reserve (RBTM) has significant resources but faces many threats that lead to habitat fragmentation and reduction of ecosystem services. This study, based on satellite image analysis and processing, was carried out to establish the baseline of land cover and land use status and to analyze their dynamics over the period 1986 to 2015. The baseline of land cover established six categories of land use including wetlands (45.11%), mosaic crops/fallow (25.99%), savannas (17.04%), plantation (5.50%), agglomeration/bare soil (4.38%) and dense forest (1.98%). The analysis of land use dynamics showed a regression for wetlands (-23%), savannas (-16.06%) and dense forest (-7.60%). On the contrary, occupations such as mosaic crops/fallow land, urban agglomerations/bare soil and plantation increase in area estimated at respectively 128.64%, 93.94% and 45.23%. These results are of interest to stakeholders who assess decisions affecting the use of natural resources and provide environmental information essential for applications ranging from land-use planning, forest cover monitoring and the production of environmental statistics.Keywords: Land use, baseline, spatial dynamics, environmental statistics, ecological monitoring.

Rawa Bunga population is constantly increased as time goes by. The increasing population in Rawa Bunga is leading to a change in land-use planning. The initial planning which create a balance between commercial and housing is forced to change into domination of housing. Although the housing community is constantly increased, but the government didn’t increased the community facility or third place in Rawa Bunga. This condition is causing a huge problem for the community to satisfy their daily basic needs. Even more, they started to occupy every vacant place for their activity and making problems for other people. The objective of this design is making a third place for the community of Rawa Bunga that can help them to socialize and interact with each other. The design method is divided into two parts, the first part is collecting data from observation, urban study, and analysis. The second part is start from the program and follow the theory of activity tipology. The design idea is a community facility or third place for interactive sport, sport and interactive technology is chosen because the community in Rawa Bunga loves sports. In addition, the third place will inserted by Betawi culture to introduce the genius loci of Rawa Bunga. Keywords:  interactive sports; Rawa Bunga; Third Place AbstrakKelurahan Rawa Bunga memiliki jumlah penduduk yang selalu meningkat seiring berjalannya waktu. Peningkatan jumlah penduduk yang terjadi berdampak kepada perubahan fungsi lahan yang tidak semestinya seperti Rancangan zonasi awal yang mempunyai komposisi yang seimbang antara komersial dan hunian. Tetapi pada kenyataannya, fungsi lahan yang ada didominasi oleh hunian. Walaupun fungsi hunian bertambah, tetapi tidak diiringi pertambahan third place yang memadai. Akibatnya adalah masalah beruntun berupa kebutuhan dasar manusia yang tidak terpenuhi. Dampak yang dihasilkan adalah pelaksanaan aktivitas masyarakat di tempat – tempat yang tidak semestinya sebagai ganti fasilitas lingkungan yang tidak memadai. Tujuan dari perancangan ini adalah berusaha memenuhi kebutuhan dasar masyarakat di Kelurahan Rawa Bunga akan aktivitas penunjang seperti sosialisasi dan interaksi baik antar manusia maupun dengan lingkungannya melalui third place. Metode Perancangan yang dipakai dibagi menjadi dua tahap, pertama tahap pencarian data dengan metode empiris yaitu observasi, studi kota dan analisis. Tahap kedua, Tahap perancangan dimulai dari hasil yang didapat dari analisis berupa program. Program akan diolah dengan pendekatan metode desain tipologi kegiatan. Ide dari perancangan ini adalah fasilitas lingkungan atau third place dengan aktivitas olahraga yang memakai teknologi interaktif untuk membantu proses sosialisasi dan interaksi baik antar manusia maupun dengan lingkungannya. Olahraga dipilih karena masyarakat di Rawa Bunga senang dengan aktivitas yang bersifat olahraga dan tidak lupa juga disisipi elemen kebudayaan Betawi untuk memperkenalkan genius loci kawasan Rawa Bunga.
