“…Nevertheless, human actions on this island are heavily concentrated in its shoreline, retaining about 92 % of forest conserved, being the Brazilian city with the greatest area/Atlantic Forest of the country (Bertolo et al 2012).…”

SUMMARYThis study assumed that the spatial identification of mosaics obtained by the analysis of interactions between frontiers over time would be a great strategy to obtain planning units, since the boundaries reveal the changes, heterogeneity and fluxes in a landscape. For this purpose, we selected 16 watersheds in São Sebastião Island (São Paulo, BR), mapped the land use and cover (1962 and 2009) and built matrices of patches by boundaries. The analysis of these matrices using multivariate ordination and clustering allowed us to identify mosaics. The mosaics showed very well the temporal diversity of interactions across frontiers and the landscape conservation status, but had limitations to indicate management practices.Key words: environmental planning, forest conservation, landscape ecology. RESUMENEste estudio asume que la identificación espacial de mosaicos obtenida a través del análisis de interacciones entre fronteras en el tiempo sería una buena estrategia para obtener unidades de planificación, ya que los límites revelan los cambios, heterogeneidad y flujos en un paisaje. Para este propósito, se seleccionaron 16 cuencas en São Sebastião Island (São Paulo, BR), se mapeó el uso y cobertura de suelo (1962 y 2009) y construyeron matrices de parches por fronteras. El análisis de estas matrices usando ordenación y agrupamiento multivariado permitió identificar los mosaicos. Los mosaicos mostraron bien la diversidad temporal de interacciones a través de las fronteras y el estado de conservación del paisaje, pero tuvieron limitaciones en indicar prácticas de manejo.Palabras clave: planificación ambiental, conservación de bosque, ecología de paisaje.

“…With the popularization of the concept of sustainable development, various international agencies and national governments have developed indicator frameworks and assessment tools to evaluate the status and trends related to urban sustainability performance (Briassoulis, 2001;Davison, 1996). Sustainability indicators should be flexible and dependent on the local context.…”

Because islands and archipelagos are often said to present distinct characteristics, there is a need to develop indicator systems for guiding and evaluating the sustainable development of island cities. This methodologically oriented study considers existing standards for urban sustainable development and uses these as the basis for selecting 70 indicators to assess the sustainability of China's Zhoushan Archipelago, bearing in mind Zhoushan's specific island and archipelago environment. The indicators are classified into ecological, social, economic, cultural, and scientific and technological dimensions. Present conditions in Zhoushan Archipelago are evaluated using statistical data. The results shows that the sustainability of Zhoushan's ecology, economic and social performance is good, while the cultural and science and technology dimensions perform relatively poorly. This study suggests future focus areas for Zhoushan's urban sustainable development as a maritime garden city.

“…Rapid urbanization and increasing human interference have posed a grave threat to the island environment, generating complex human-dominated landscapes and profoundly affecting the functioning of island and marine ecosystems, as well as the services they provide to humans and other life forms (e.g., Crawford, Marcucci, and Bennett, 2013;Diamond, Ashmole, and Purves, 1989;Shoyama and Braimoh, 2011;Tzanopoulos, Mitchley, and Pantis, 2005;Tzanopoulos and Vogiatzakis, 2011;Tzatzanis, Wrbka, and Sauberer, 2003). This pattern is particularly evident in many parts of the developing world, such as Brazil (Bertolo, Lima, and Santos, 2012), Indonesia (Crawford et al, 2006;Lim, 2011, 2012), and China (Chen et al, 2014;Lu et al, 2010;Tang et al, 2005;Wang et al, 2008;Wang and Liu, 2013).…”
