A Field Method for Landscape Conservation Surveying: The Landscape Assessment Protocol (LAP)

Assessment of the Conservation Area Network Development in Markazi Province Using Landscape Metrics

Prioritization and selection of sample areas from the whole nature is necessary to protect biodiversity. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the development of a network of conservation areas in Markazi province using landscape metrics. For this purpose, we used MaxEnt, Marxan, Fragstat softwares and eight conservation criteria. Results were compared by using simulated sorting, greed...

Knowledge Management Systems: Surveying the Landscape

Knowledge management systems (KMS) are the tools and techniques that support knowledge management practices in organizations. The study of these systems consists of a small but growing body of literature. In the last two years alone, at least four books, two special editions of journals, and a number of academic and practitioner articles have been published related to this area. However, much o...

Constraints on Constraints: Surveying the Epigenetic Landscape

It is now relatively commonplace to advocate the need for some sorts of constraints on leornlng ond knowledge acquisition. The critical issues to cognitive science concern the sorts of constraints thot ore able to best model various phenomena of learning and development. Four types of constraints on learning ore proposed to be used as an interpretative fromework within which to: 1. Better under...

Landscape assessment of high-rise buildings: A method based on 3DGIS, BIM and AHP

In this paper, we propose a quantitative indicator for measuring and ranking real estate from the perspective of the surrounding landscape by integrating the building information model (BIM) and the three-dimensional geospatial information system (3DGIS) based on the AHP method. The landscape is one of the qualitative variables which it's measuring and quantifying is a complex task. In previous...
