without the surrounding environment of a site, architecture loses its full meaning. in the evolutionof the design process, a site's environment should be understood as the integral factor within which a designed productor artifact is expected to perform. the environment is not of secondary priority. every building is intertwined with itscontext; context being its physical, visual and ecological...

Geographers have been reticent on the role of the African diaspora in the contouring of Brazil’s biological and cultural landscapes. Whereas paradigm shifts have occurred in regards to environmental stability in the tropical realm and the pristine nature of pre-Columbian landscapes, these have not translated to a rigorous reassessment of the geographical position of Africans and their descendan...

We specify a system of equations that fully reflects the supply and demand sides of the market for agricultural open space at equilibrium. Although simple, the system is exceedingly flexible and allows for household and parcel heterogeneity. We derive an empirical model directly from the structural equations and contrast this using a simulated landscape with the econometric specification most o...

Satellite remotely sensed data has significant potential use in analysis and evaluation on Landscape Pattern. Relying on the recent advances in satellite remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) techniques, this paper aims to probe into the analysis and evaluation on landscape pattern of Songpan county, which located in the north of Sichuan province, with RS and GIS. First, the ge...

This paper investigates residents' perceptions of scenic quality in the Cape Cod community of Dennis, Massachusetts during a period of significant landscape change. In the mid-1 970s, Chandler [Natural and Visual Resources, Dennis, Massachusetts. Dennis Conservation Commission and Planning Board, Dennis, MA, 19761 worked with a community group to evaluate the natural resources of their town, an...

Patterns of interdisciplinarity in science can be quantified through diverse complementary dimensions. This paper studies as a case study the scientific environment of a generalist journal in Geography, Cybergeo, in order to introduce a novel methodology combining citation network analysis and semantic analysis. We collect a large corpus of around 200,000 articles with their abstracts and the c...

Understanding the relationship between landscape pattern and ecological processes constitutes the foundation of landscape ecology. Generally, a set of landscape metrics is derived from land cover maps, and subsequently related with a measured ecological response by statistical methods to assess their prediction power. Here, I reviewed several concepts regarding these pattern-process interaction...

In the recent century,Tehran has been confronted with urban sprawl and rapid population growth that have caused urban landscape transformation, whichis different in various parts of Tehran based on specific economic, cultural and social situations. What is important in this essay is the human perception of their landscape in this process of transformation; therefore, the purpose is analyzing la...
