Despite the close affinity between collective memory and urban structures as the relationship between what is hidden and what is visible; rapid changes throughout the city have caused a disconnection between integrated memories and landscape cohesion. As a context for memories, the historical urban landscape proves to be valuable. The present research seeks to identify elements and signs in urb...

Three-dimensional geovisualization in landscape design can be used to evaluate the efforts of mitigating CO2 emissions. This study evaluated subjects’ emotional preferences for 3D through an eye movement tracking experiment. In case that color building materials was positively correlated with low carbon emissions, green, blue, and gray were typical representatives Through experiment, different ...

Wetlands are very sensitive to ecosystem changes, so integrated analyses and modeling of their process dynamics as well as their interaction with other hydrologic and ecological components provide valuable information for impact assessment. However, since wetland processes are complex, research methods aiming to improve the understanding of wetland dynamics in a landscape perspective must compr...

Cultural landscapes are increasingly understood as something not merely to be protected. The European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP) and the European Landscape Convention (ELC) as well as the new Concepts and Strategies for Spatial Development in Germany propose considering cultural landscapes also as a force to promote cooperative regional development. Common historical roots, special ...

The relationship between landscape patterns and functions is the central research theme of landscape ecology and forest management. This study assesses the interactive relationship of landscape heterogeneity with the carbon stock of urban forests in the city of Xiamen, Fujian Province, China, using spatial and statistical analyses. The objectives of this study are to explore the most appropriat...
