“…The land use policy of local authorities is also a frequent driving force of landscape change [27]. This often leads to the degradation of historically shaped landscapes that are part of the local cultural heritage which should be protected elements in the land use policy [28].…”

Changes in forest landscapes have been connected with human activity for centuries and can be considered one of the main driving forces of change from a global perspective. The spatial distribution of forests changes along with the geopolitical situation, demographic changes, intensification of agriculture, urbanization, or changes in land use policy. However, due to the limited availability of historical data, the driving forces of changes in forest landscapes are most often considered in relation to recent decades, without taking long-term analyses into account. The aim of this paper is to determine the level and types of landscape changes and make preliminary study on natural and socio-economic factors on changes in forest landscapes within the protected area, Slęża Landscape Park, and its buffer zone using long-term analyses covering a period of 140 years . A comparison of historical and current maps and demographic data related to three consecutive periods of time as well as natural and location factors by using the ArcGIS software allows the selected driving forces of forest landscape transformations to be analyzed. We took into account natural factors such as the elevation, slope, and exposure of the hillside and socio-economic drivers like population changes, distances to centers of municipalities, main roads, and built-up areas.

“…The article still has problems such as possible indicators for the multi-attribute evaluation system and uncertainty in the index weights is needed. In contrast, the identification method of spatial conflicts of new investment area [37] and the method of landscape capacity assessment [48] used in the same high-value landscape can better exploit the value of land. This method can complement our lack of research.…”

“…(1) the element superposition method, which is rooted in the hand-drawn overlay techniques created by McHarg, Steinitz, and others [29]; and (2) the multi-criteria evaluation method based on GIS (MCE-GIS), which is applied in this study [30][31][32]. MCE-GIS includes methods such as interval multi-objective linear programming model [17], technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) [33], concordance analysis [34], analytic hierarchy process [35], fuzzy evaluation method [36], and a new identification method of priority landscapes and spatial conflicts with new investment area [37]. The second method is artificial intelligence, for which the main applications include fuzzy mathematics methods [38][39][40], artificial neural networks [41], matter-element models [42], cellular automata [43], and genetic algorithms [44].…”

The Chinese government is undergoing a major reform. The current core task of new Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) is to establish a national territorial spatial planning system (NTSPS). Urban agglomeration has become a main body in NTSPS. China's new urbanization strategy identified 19 key development areas of urban agglomerations (UA), but the land development path is not clear. Due to the lack of research on the land development intensity evaluation (LDIE) of urban agglomerations, this study applied a GIS-based, multi-criteria method for LDIE to the Shandong Peninsular urban agglomeration (SPUA). Evaluation indices were determined for three factors (development intensity, supporting capacity, and utilization efficiency) that comprise the discriminant model of the three-dimensional matrix method, which was used to establish the method for this topic and demonstrate the accuracy of the land spatial development intensity. This empirical study on the SPUA indicated that, overall, the average indices for development intensity, supporting capacity, and utilization efficiency in the study area are 0.40, 0.34, and 0.55, respectively. Using the three-dimensional matrix discrimination model, three zones of development intensity were identified: key, stable, and restricted development zones. The threshold values for construction land growth in the eight cities of the SPUA were obtained. The findings provide a theoretical reference and guide for the practical application of LDIE as well as a scientific basis for sustainable land development and utilization.

“…Landscape research in Poland is not highly developed compared to other European landscape studies. Poland has very little experience in the management of landscapes at a local scale, and further studies should be conducted in this field (Solecka et al, 2018). Hydro-morphological research is better developed, though.…”

Aim of the studyThis paper aims to present an integrated assessment of changes in a mountain river valley after a flood. Material and methodsThe assessment followed the LandScape & HydroMorphological Assessment of River Valleys Method (LSHM Method). The method is intended for assessing and identifying valuable areas in river valleys and determining their development potential. The LSHM Method distinguishes three main groups of factors: hydromorphological (H), landscape (L), and integrated (I). All the factors are assessed using a 10-point scale. Results and conclusionsLandscape and hydromorphological assessment with the LSHM Method facilitates identifying transformations of both the river channel and valley together with the areas interrelated with the river, and assessment of integrated river valley landscape. The integrated approach can be applied in the planning of repairs when restoring a river valley after a flood.
