Abstract:
... The abandonment of rural areas is an important environmental and socio-economic issue in Europe, threatening the stability and profitability of agricultural production. The identification and quantification of abandoned land is key for temporal and spatial monitoring of the process and for applying alternative management measures. Italy is one of the most important European countries for the produ ...
... Aside from the many services that soil provides, it also stores water and makes it available to crops, which is critical for food security. However, the necessity of further studies for overcoming the existing gap in relation to the role of soil in the water, energy, and food nexus system has been preoccupying the experts and specialists around the world for some time. In this sense, the balance b ...
... The shrimp industry in Bangladesh is an important economic sector with growing demand, export potential, and employment opportunities. However, the industry is threatened by external and local production and market risks. Risk management strategies can be implemented through farming systems modification developing of different types of shrimp and prawn-based systems, although the adaptive capacity ...
... The National Program of Systematic Land Registration aims to register all land property in Romania by 2023. The goal has proven difficult to achieve, as by June 2022 only 4% of the localities in the country were completed. The aim of this research is to find the similarities and differences between the fit for purpose principles of land administration for the spatial framework and the practices in ...
... A fire is usually considered a severe disturbance factor in the environment. Globally, rising temperatures and increasing human activities have intensified the severity and frequency of fire incidents, and research on post-fire recovery has inevitably become an important focus for ecologists. In terms of the restoration of burned areas, there are usually two primary approaches: natural recovery an ...

Abstract:
... Population disaggregation methods are a land management tool that is necessary to robustly assess the exposure of populations to natural hazards. The aim of these methods is to translate population values from large spatial units to smaller spatial units. Due to their improvement, the accuracy in quantifying the population exposed to natural hazards has increased significantly in recent years. How ...

Abstract:
... In many western countries, publicly led mapping activities and recording information of land parcels and buildings and the related rights, restrictions, and responsibilities have established their roles as important pillars of a functioning society. National mapping, cadastral, and land registry authorities as public agencies responsible for conducting these tasks are in a key position in shaping ...

Abstract:
... •Adaptive land management requires monitoring of resource conditions, which requires choices about where and when to monitor a landscape.•Designing a sampling design for a monitoring program can be broken down in to eight steps: identifying questions, defining objectives, selecting reporting units, deciding data collection methods, defining the sample frame, selecting an appropriate design type, d ...

Abstract:
... Ex situ poverty alleviation relocation (ESPAR) is a Chinese government program created to address rural poverty and land management issues. Affecting around 10 million people, the process involves encouraging smallholder farmers to leave their rural homesteads and move to new housing. By consolidating people into medium density accommodation, the amount of land available for other purposes can be ...
sustainable landmanagement, etc ; health services; surveys; France; Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... While sustainable land use planning ensures land preservation through urban compactness, liveable residential environments are commonly associated with low density levels. Analyzing the relationships between density and neighborhood satisfaction (as a measure for liveability) may therefore help urban planners to offer sustainable infill projects that also guarantee liveability for the residents. O ...

Abstract:
... Badlands are intensely gullied lands, undergoing heavy soil losses, bereft of sustainability and are degenerative to the verdant ecosystem. This paper aims at using multifractal and lacunarity analysis to badlands systems, with the objective of offering geomorphic correlation and interpretation of multifractal parameters to understand the nature of patterns and the operative processes in badlands. ...

Abstract:
... Urban landscapes are rapid changing ecosystems with diverse urban forms that impede the movement of organisms. Therefore, designing and modelling ecological networks to identify biodiversity reservoirs and their corridors are crucial aspects of land management in terms of population persistence and survival. However, the land cover/use maps used for landscape connectivity modelling can lack inform ...

Abstract:
... Six parks in central Victoria were handed back to ownership of Dja Dja Wurrung People (Djaara) as part of the Recognition and Settlement Agreement 2013 with the State of Victoria. Dhelkunya Dja Land Management Board (DDLMB) developed a Joint Management Plan (JMP) for these parks, which was approved under Victorian legislation and launched in October 2018. Here, we show how and why Djaara used thei ...

... Multiple Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) related studies have been carried out in two decades. ISO 19152 LADM is an international standard and an abstract, conceptual model covering the land administration domain (including those over land and water and elements above and below the earth's surface). The LADM is considered an important component for managing and developing land administrati ...

Abstract:
... Principle 12 of the OECD Principles on Water Governance calls for the evaluation of sustainable water policies, which to be effective must be salient, credible and legitimate. Using a 2021 survey of land and water managers within the Colorado River Basin, we examine the salience, credibility and legitimacy of two approaches to evaluate policies that integrate water and land management: using pract ...

Abstract:
... Conservationists are calling for bold strategies to connect wildlands and halt extinctions. A growing number of scientists recommend that 50% of all land must be held in a protected area network to maintain biodiversity. We assessed lands adjacent to the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and Continental Divide Trail (CDT) as possible wildlife corridors connecting protected areas in the American West. We e ...

Abstract:
... High-quality urban green space (UGS) is an integral part of a livable city. The scientific evaluation of UGS has great value for improving the quality and efficiency of green spaces. In this study, we integrated the water and walking networks into the existing green index model and proposed a new green index: the building blue–green index (BBGI). Using this method, we analyzed the quality of green ...

Abstract:
... In an era in which conventional agriculture has come under question for its environmental and social costs, regenerative agriculture suggests that land management practices can be organized around farming and grazing practices that regenerate interdependent ecological and community processes for generations to come. However, little is known about the geographies of ‘regenerative’ and ‘conventional ...

... The lack of efforts in promoting conservation technologies to farming communities in the last few decades made the area of critical land, particularly over Java Island, increased by 28.33% during 2009–2014. Another cause of this condition is the unsatisfactory results of the existing land management techniques. The decision to conserve degraded lands should be supported by environmental awareness ...
