Operationalizing ecological connectivity in spatial conservation planning with Marxan Connect

Assessment and Spatial Planning of Landscape Ecological Connectivity for Biodiversity Management (Case Study: Qazvin Province)

Habitat and ecosystem fragmentation and, consequently, the loss of landscape connectivity are major causes of biodiversity destruction, leading to disruption of material, energy, and information flow at the landscape scale. Given the importance of this issue, the current study aimed to evaluate the ecological connectivity and spatial planning of Qazvin Province, in order to re-establish and pro...

qfd planning with cost consideration in fuzzy environment

در عصر حاضر که رقابت بین سازمان ها بسیار گسترش یافته است، مطالعه و طرحریزی سیستم های تولیدی و خدماتی به منظور بهینه سازی عملکرد آنها اجتناب ناپذیر می باشد. بخش عمده ای از رقابت پذیری سازمان ها نتیجه رضایتمندی مشتریان آنها است. میزان موفقیت سازمان های امروزی به تلاش آنها در جهت شناسایی خواسته ها و نیازهای مشتریان و ارضای این نیازها بستگی دارد. از طرفی کوتاه کردن زمان ارائه محصول/خدمات به مشتریان...

LQGraph: A software package for optimizing connectivity in conservation planning

LQGraph implements methods for optimizing the connectivity of sites administered to protect biodiversity (a conservation area network). The methods are suitable for existing protected areas (for example, national parks) or a proposed network. We model the landscape using graphs. The user provides a quality score for each site in the landscape outside the conservation areas. Based on these score...

Incorporating ecological and evolutionary processes into continental-scale conservation planning.

Systematic conservation planning research has focused on designing systems of conservation areas that efficiently protect a comprehensive and representative set of species and habitats. Recently, there has been an emphasis on improving the adequacy of conservation area design to promote the persistence and future generation of biodiversity. Few studies have explored incorporating ecological and...
