“…Transparent and inclusive assessment procedures enable informed and participative decision making, based on solid but not necessarily sophisticated scientific observations and monitoring, and suitable for citizens to use and participate in their application. This way, by using a shared approach, a common cognitive framework can emerge, allowing for an enhanced role of citizens in information collection (citizen science) and decision making [23].…”

Biodiversity loss has been identified as one of the environmental impacts where humankind has been tres-passing planetary boundaries most significantly. Going beyond the pressures causing damages (calling them ‘direct drivers’) and analysing their underlying driving forces, IPBES, the Intergovernmental Sci-ence-Policy Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, also identified a series of indirect drivers. The Montreal-Kunming Global Biodiversity Framework GBF including its suggested monitoring approach is intended to and claims to be a policy response to such analyses. However, to assess the human impact on ecosystems as a basis for planning conservation and restoration, as foreseen in the GBF, monitoring ecosystem typologies (in the GBF with reference to the UN statistical standard SEEA ES, which in turn refers to the IUCN ecosystem classification) is not enough. It needs to be complemented with data on the severity of human impacts, and on the history of places, i.e. how and when the current ecosystem status was brought about. In this conceptual paper we suggest LUI, a deliberately simple ordinal scale index for land use intensity changes, to address these two gaps. It is based on the hemeroby concept, measuring the human impact as deviation from naturalness. This makes it an information collection and presentation tool for those working in landscape planning and management. LUI’s simple and intuitively understandable structure makes it suitable for citizens’ science applications, and thus for participative monitoring when extensive statistical data gathering is not feasible, and past data are not available. Of course is can also be used as a simple too for communicating when detailed statistical data series are available. While the aggregate index is expected to communicate well, its components are more relevant to motivate and help policy makers to prioritise their decisions according to the severity of recent anthropogenic ecosystem disturabances.

The issue of forming an analytical and informational base for management decisions in the field of land affairs is particularly relevant given the global trend of systemic social transformations. It requires active implementation of the latest information technologies. The study aims to comprehensively analyze the aspects of using geographic information systems (GIS) for ecological and landscape land management of human settlements. The research was carried out using general scientific methods of cognition: logical and structural analysis, induction and deduction, comparison, abstraction, specification, generalization, and formalization. The article investigates the basics of GIS and variations of their implementation in the field of land management. It highlights the main provisions and algorithmic structure of the process. The authors described the typical features of modern GIS technologies and their capabilities in the spheres of mapping, monitoring, and other aspects of land management. The main problems, challenges, and achievements of the GIS utilization process are considered. It has been determined that the effective utilization of GIS capabilities is a promising priority area for optimizing the land utilization system. The practical significance of the findings of this paper is manifested in the feasibility of using them in developing suitable programs to improve the efficiency of ecological and landscape land management of settlements. Also, the study's results can be used to form a universal effective model of GIS technologies application during the process of land utilization management.

Water resources are essential for agriculture. In the spatial layout of agricultural production, quantitatively identifying the spatial differences in water resource conditions, including precipitation and irrigation water supply factors, is necessary. Here, a water resource suitability index for agricultural production (WRSIA) was constructed for agricultural development using irrigation water supply convenience (IWSC) and precipitation conditions. Considering Lhasa as the study area, water resource suitability index for agricultural production was calculated on a 100 m grid scale, and the spatial distribution relationship between water resource suitability index for agricultural production and cultivated land was analyzed using geographically weighted regression (GWR). The results showed that irrigation water supply convenience severely restricted agricultural production in Lhasa, and the high water resource suitability index for agricultural production values were mainly distributed in the valleys of the Lhasa River and its tributaries. Moreover, 47.7% of the cultivated land was distributed in 5% of the area having the highest water resource suitability. According to geographically weighted regression, the cultivated land area and water resource availability were strongly correlated (R2 = 0.904). The distribution of the cultivated land was well explained by water resource suitability index for agricultural production, which could describe the differences in water resource suitability for agricultural production. Furthermore, the suitability of agricultural production was better evaluated when water resource suitability index for agricultural production was coupled with the land resource suitability index. Overall, water resource suitability index for agricultural production showed high applicability in Lhasa and other regions, thereby providing a scientific basis and technical support for the spatial layout of agricultural production.
