“…While the movement of resources and wastes has been a conspicuous part of all urban regions since the beginning of civilization, the kinds and intensities of connections have increased greatly during the contemporary era [20,94]. There are now masses of materials, energy, and information moving through urban cores, suburban neighborhoods, and commercial and industrial establishments.…”

Urbanization continues to be a transformative process globally, affecting ecosystem integrity and the health and well being of people around the world. Although cities tend to be centers for both the production and consumption of goods and services that degrade natural environments, there is also evidence that urban ecosystems can play a positive role in sustainability efforts. Despite the fact that most of the urbanization is now occurring in the developing countries of the Global South, much of what we know about urban ecosystems has been developed from studying cities in the United States and across Europe. We propose a conceptual framework to broaden the development of urban ecological research and its application to sustainability. Our framework describes four key contemporary urban features that should be accounted for in any attempt to build a unified theory of cities that contributes to urban sustainability efforts. We evaluated a range of examples from cities around the world, highlighting how urban areas are complex, connected, diffuse and diverse and what these interconnected features mean for the study of urban ecosystems and sustainability.

“…This is largely the consequence of the intertwinement of the various time and space ranges in which processes in nature occur and the fact that the landscape is a dynamic network of relationships that is constantly adapting, changing, and regenerating. For this reason, it is difficult for us to understand the processes and their impacts on the landscape (Terkenli 2005), which also applies to geomorphosites.…”

BOJAN ERHARTI^Bla` Komac, Matija Zorn, Bojan Erharti~, Loss of natural heritage from the geomorphological perspective -Do geomorphic processes … ABSTRACT: This study deals with geomorphological natural features (geomorphosites) relative to the natural processes that create, shape, or destroy such features. As a rule, geomorphologic processes are geographical constants in the landscape although some, due to their high magnitude or low frequency of occurrence, can be perceived as an exception (e.g., natural disasters). The importance of geomorphosites is relative to their size, rarity (spatial distribution), and duration (existence in time), which depend on both the frequency and magnitude of geomorphological processes and on the standards of the observer. Human influence and perception of geomorphosites is also important in this regard.

“…During this process, the social and cultural identity of a place is changed. The landscape of the Aegean Sea is no longer recognized as a native landscape of Greece, instead becoming the Aegean Sea of the world [28]. The relationships among several groups have the power in a region to affect landscape representation.…”

Interpretation of 798: Changes in Power of Representation and Sustainability of Industrial Landscape

Against the background of economic transformation and urban renewal, the protection and sustainable development of urban industrial landscapes has become an important practical issue, and how to maintain the unique local culture of these landscapes is key to solving the problem. By integrating the concept of "layer" and regarding the landscape as text, this paper will investigate the representation of industrial landscapes and the process of changes in power represented by different actors through different texts from the perspective of representation. The paper selected Beijing 798 as the research area to explore the shaping of changes in the industrial landscape of 798 from a weapon manufacturing area to an arts district, creative industry park and the "pan 798" by the factory owners, government, management committee, artists, media and tourists through different presentation forms, revealing the game process of representation of powers among the coalition between artists, management committee and the government. The paper points out that in fact, the representation of industrial landscape by different actors through different texts is a process that continues to explore and define the value of landscape. However, we need to look at this when the value of the industrial landscape is no longer given by localized life practices, but rather depends on different actors to produce and reproduce the value of landscape by representation, and thereby affecting the sustainable development of industrial landscape.
