“…The least-cost path method has been used to identify paths that connect ecologically valuable areas by calculating all cost-surfaces pertaining to wildlife mobility for ecological planning [7,69]. Related research involves analyses of network patterns of local communities [70], road construction and traffic scenarios in industrial areas [71,72], plans for urban green networks and coastal eco-networks [73,74], and green networks through connectivity assessments of wildlife [64,75,76]. In this study, the least-cost path method is used to select the optimal area for replacement wetland that can ecologically compensate for a cost area.…”

This paper presents an integrated approach to mitigation wetland site selection using functional landscape connectivity and landscape structure. This approach enables landscape designers to evaluate the relative priorities of mitigation wetland areas based on functional landscape connectivity and wildlife mobility, as well as landscape structure, composition, and configuration. The least-cost path method is used to evaluate candidate sites for mitigation wetlands with regard to wildlife movement. A set of assessments for landscape indices using FRAGSTATS was applied to identify suitable mitigation wetland areas on the basis of landscape connectivity, composition, and configuration. The study was conducted in Gwacheon, Korea, where there are plans for regional development that will change the landscape. In the first step, a group of 14 candidate sites is identified via analysis of functional landscape connectivity using the least-cost path method. In the second step, candidate mitigation wetland areas are ranked according to landscape connectivity and composition. The five mitigation wetland areas that were found to be suitable were analyzed based on landscape configuration at the class level. This study demonstrates OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 3387 that functional landscape connectivity and landscape structure are important aspects to consider when identifying suitable sites for mitigation wetland planning and restoration.

“…Of note, most archaeological LCP modeling papers to date continue to use only one criteria, topographic elevation, for cost surface production (see Carballo and Pluckhahn, 2007;Sakaguchi et al, 2010;Sherman et al, 2010;Siart et al, 2008;Taliaferro et al, 2010). Using a univariate input surfaces assumes only one variable influences travel and connectivity between places and this is not generally the case for any species in any real world landscape (Spear et al, 2010: 3584).…”
