Assessing the landscape context and conversion risk of protected areas using satellite data products

Since the establishment of the first national park (Yellowstone National Park in 1872) and the first wildlife refuge (Pelican Island in 1903), dramatic changes have occurred in both ecological and cultural landscapes across the U.S. The ability of these protected areas to maintain current levels of biodiversity depend, at least in part, on the integrity of the surrounding landscape. Our objective was to quantify and compare the extent and pattern of natural land cover, risk of conversion, and relationships with demographic and economic variables in counties near National Park Service units and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service refuges with those counties distant from either type of protected area in the coterminous United States. Our results indicate that landscapes in counties within 10 km of both parks and refuges and those within 10 km of just parks were more natural, more intact, and more protected than those in counties within 10 km of just refuges and counties greater than 10 km from either protected area system. However, they also had greater human population density and change in population, indicating potential conversion risk since the percent of landscape protected averaged < 5% in both groups and human population dynamics are primary drivers of change in many landscapes. Conversion outweighed protection by at least two times (Conservation Risk Index > 2) in 76% of counties near both parks and refuges, 81% of counties near just parks, 91% of counties near just refuges, and 93% of distant counties. Thirteen percent of counties in the coterminous U.S. had moderate to high amounts of natural land cover (> 60%), low protection (< 20%), and the greatest change in population (> 20%). Although these areas are not the most critically endangered, they represent the greatest conservation opportunity, need, and urgency. Our approach is based on national level metrics that are simple, general, informative, and can be understood by broad audiences and by policy makers and managers to assess the health of lands surrounding parks and refuges. Regular monitoring of these metrics with satellite data products in counties surrounding protected areas provides a consistent, national level assessment of management opportunities and potentially adverse changes on adjacent lands.     

Quality in Web Design for Visually Impaired Users

Visually impaired users require web page interfaces that they can interact with. Providing such interfaces is necessary to serve this community, and is required by government regulation. This paper describes the unique web access requirements of visually impaired users. It reviews surveys of the suitability of web sites for the partially sighted and blind. Most web sites do not meet the requirements of the UK and other governments. In addition, serving the visually impaired is a marketing opportunity for organizations, as there is an ever increasing population with potential sight problems.     

电子政务信息安全保障机制探讨

作为政府信息化工程的重要组成部分,电子政务在我国的发展已初具规模。由于政务信息的敏感性和保密性要求,以及网络平台的安全性影响,电子政务信息系统的安全保障是至关重要的。电子政务信息系统的安全保障涉及到网络技术、系统功能、人员管理、法制法规等诸多因素,必须形成全面、规范、有执行力的保障机制。     

基于RS与GIS的典型地区土地利用/覆盖变化研究——以三江源生态环境重点保护区玛多县为例

典型地区和脆弱区的土地利用/覆盖变化是区域性研究的重要内容。三江源地区是国家级自然保护区,生态系统异常敏感和脆弱。以典型地区玛多县为案例,基于RS和GIS技术,系统研究了该地区土地利用/覆盖变化及其对景观格局的影响,探讨了生态环境演化过程,可为更广泛的区域性综合提供基础。研究发现:①10 a间,该地区湿地、水体和天然草地明显减少,湿地减少比例达到36.63%,大于6 hm²的湖泊减少近半数;沙地,裸地和盐碱地等明显增加,草地退化、沙漠化严重;②天然草地、裸地、沙地、水体、湿地和盐碱地之间的类型转化较为明显,且与水资源又有密切的关系。③多样性、均匀性指数和景观异质程度提高,土地趋于多样化和均匀化;裸地、沙地优势度增加,湿地、水体和天然草地优势度减少;整体破碎化程度呈缓慢减少趋势,而湿地、沙地破碎度增加。④综合土地利用动态度为0.98,天然草地、裸地、湿地、沙地动态面积变化较大。⑤研究区的土地利用/覆盖变化将深刻影响该地区的生态过程,同时还将影响三江源地区的水源涵养和供给。     

Breaking the search space symmetry in partitioning problems: An application to the graph coloring problem

Many problems consist in splitting a set of objects into different groups so that each group verifies some properties. In practice, a partitioning is often encoded by an array mapping each object to its group numbering. In fact, the group number of an object does not really matter, and one can simply rename each group to obtain a new encoding. That is what we call the symmetry of the search space in a partitioning problem. This property may be prejudicial for optimization methods such as evolutionary algorithms (EA) which require some diversity during the search.     

Shaping a buyer's software selection process through tendering legislation

Tendering legislation aims to enhance competitiveness by promoting equality, proportionality, transparency, and non‐discrimination. Such legislation applies to the procurement of software packages by public institutions in many countries. This study explores how tendering legislation shapes a buyer's software selection process through the lens of competing decision‐making rationalities. From the literature, 3 rationalities enacted in software selection are deduced that we relate to the software selection literature regarding tendering legislation. Through this lens, we subsequently examine how a large health care provider selected a supplier for an electronic health record system after an extensive tendering process. Many health care professionals within this organization were in favour of a particular software package. Yet, the organization purchased a different package from a relatively unknown supplier, the implementation of which failed. The actors involved experienced shaping on 5 decision‐making themes, the implications of which are evaluated against the functional, economic, and political rationality norms derived from the literature. The findings suggest that compliance with tendering legislation over the public procurement of software results in increased legal complexity, greater linearity and objectivity, more extensive formalization, and less relational communication. Functional norms of rationality are stressed, seemingly to balance the enforced economic norms of rationality and to compensate for the decreased room for political rationality. Even so, the shaping by the tendering legislation threatens functional rationality. Ultimately functional and economic norms of rationality win over political rationality, yet the latter still dribbles through, albeit in a different guise than reported for software selection in general.

基于像元与对象分类的景观指数差异性分析

景观指数分析是进行遥感监测土地利用及变化空间格局的重要方法之一,而因为遥感分类方法的不同,所计算出的同一景观指数所揭示的土地变化模式可能出现较大差异。以北京市密云县为研究区,对影像分别进行了面向对象分类与基于像元的监督分类,并对两种分类进行景观指数计算,利用配对样本t检验方法对各景观指数进行了差异显著性分析。分析结果显示地类面积比例(PLAND)和最大斑块指数(LPI)在两种分类方法之间差异不显著;边缘密度(ED)略有显著差异性;而斑块数量(NP)、斑块面积平均值(AREA_MN)、聚合度(AI)与周长面积分维数(PAFRAC)在两种分类方法之间差异显著。
