Landscape ecological planning and the future countryside: a research note

Strategies for the conservation of biodiversity have historically tended to focus on key sites rather than the wider countryside. It is now widely accepted that both are important for effective countryside management. Landscape ecology offers an organising framework for the integrated study of patches within their surrounding land use matrix, and offers opportunities for the planning and management of large tracts of countryside. An area of proposed substantial land use change in western England is studied in terms of its landscape ecological properties. Preliminary results are reviewed in terms of their potential land use implications.

The future of ecological evaluation for land use planning: the case OF Belgium

The paper is essentially a supplement and an up‐to‐date extension to earlier papers on ecological evaluation for planning purposes. Scientific, strategic and political objections against ecological evaluation in its present shape are discussed. Some resolving measures for the controversy over this technique are presented. Recent Belgian developments in the field are reviewed in the context of the coming post‐industrial society. Especially, public participation and the potential improvements brought about by the introduction of an environmental impact assessment procedure are discussed.     

Landscape ecological planning process for wetland, waterfowl, and farmland conservation

A landscape ecological planning process (LEP process) is described that addresses the issues of rice production and wetland habitat conservation on privately owned rice farms in Texas. The LEP process was used to evaluate proposed land-use management plans based on alternative policies for the next US Farm Bill, which would be in effect from 2003 to 2009. A system simulation model, geographic information systems (GIS) model based on expert knowledge, as well as expert opinion, were used to evaluate uncertainty about the effects of these plans and policies on different types of farms and the quality of winter habitat of lesser snow geese. The models simulated shifts in land-use, rice and cattle production, farm profitability, and use of habitat by geese. Simulation results suggested that the level of federal subsidies for all policies influenced the continuation of rice production from 2003 to 2009. In addition, the size of the farm influenced whether rice production continued until 2009. The smaller farms were more sensitive to decreases in federal subsidies than larger farms because smaller farms received less income from goose hunting leases. Winter habitat for lesser snow geese was reduced in terms of patch size and nearest neighbor distance when rice production was discontinued by 2009 for all policies. Agricultural policy experts, who were familiar with the study sites, selected the modified version of the conservation policy as the example that would most benefit farmers and geese. The experts emphasized that their policy would offer farmers more flexibility to manage their farms, to diversify their incomes, and to be good land stewards.     

Historic Landscape Characterisation: A landscape archaeology for research, management and planning

This article outlines a relatively new form of landscape archaeology known in England as Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC). Whilst it seeks to present and analyse the 'historic character' of landscapes, HLC is also a forward-looking approach that uses its distinctively 'archaeological' perspective to inform planning for the future. The article argues that HLC is particularly well placed to facilitate communication between landscape scholars from different disciplines and other people concerned with landscapes.     

The future of building economics: a note

Building economics has been long in emerging because it still lacks solid theoretical foundations. The notion of ‘building process’ should play a central role in this regard, as it points at the fundamental indeterminacy underlying building activity from conception to demolition. This indeterminacy stems from the length of time that usually separates these two events. Building economics needs to shift its focus from investment decisions to problems of managing building portfolios in their entirety. The professional basis for this development is in corporate real estate and facilities management.     

Landscape design: signposts to a postmodern future?

The authors of Landscape Design: An International Survey, a wide-ranging review of contemporary practice, are forced to conclude that they can find little solid evidence of substantial design theory underlying the schemes selected. This paper asks whether this is so, and uses insights provided by Lodewijk Baljon's technique of comparative design analysis (developed in his study of the entries for the Pare de la Villette competition) to examine the state of contemporary landscape architecture as it approaches the millenium.     

Movements of capital and the built Environment: a research note

In the light of David Harvey's thesis, this paper reviews some Australian time series data on movements of capital of significance to the built environment. The data suggests that the mechanism of capital switching between ‘circuits of capital’ may be rather more complex than a simple reading of Harvey's thesis suggests. However Harvey's concept of long waves of investment in the built environment is broadly corroborated, with implications for urban policy.
