“…As an alternative, recent studies have demonstrated a quantitative evaluation as a landscape ecological approach. This is because quantitative evaluation considers landscape structure, landscape composition or landscape elements in the biotopes, and landscape function for ecological connectivity [18,[52][53][54][55]. That is, landscape-level ecological functions can be taken into account in addition to site-level functions.…”

“…Most previous research has focused on analysis or simulation of the movements of specific wild species [56][57][58][59][60]. Measuring functional connectivity involves calculating the time and distance over which a specific species searches for a new habitat patch using various techniques, such as random walk modeling [45,61,62], network analysis [55,63], gravity modeling [64], and the least-cost path method [65]. The random walk is a simple model of diffusion processes that has been used to study the movements of wildlife [45].…”

“…Gravity modeling and network analysis have become established as promising ways to efficiently explore and analyze landscape or habitat connectivity [63,64]. Network analysis emerged as a branch of operational research concerned with network structure and network optimization with the help of graph theory [55]. Gravity modeling can be used to identify relatively high-quality habitats and to choose the best opportunities for maintaining and restoring connectivity [64].…”

An Integrated Approach to Mitigation Wetland Site Selection: A Case Study in Gwacheon, Korea

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.

“…An ecological approach proposed Floresta [4], and much more recently, Salvador [5] reviewed the literature on the new international trends with respect to "green planning" in cities and, above all, in metropolitan areas or, in large urban regions. Van Herzele and Widemann [6] and Bonaiuto et al [7] consider the viewpoint of citizens, Van den Dobbelsteena and de Wilde [8] has been working on indicators for space use efficiency; Zhang and Wanga [9] and Oh and Jeong [10] recently working on connectivity and accessibility of greenspaces. Nonetheless, the approach of these studies does not provide solutions to the questions raised above.…”

The present work is an investigation of what occurred in Madrid during the 20th century with respect to greenspace design and planning. The study begins with the city's first urban plan, the "Plan de Ensanche", drafted in 1857 by Carlos María de Castro. The plan which is currently in force is the "Plan General de Ordenación Urbana de Madrid" of 1997. The present study analyzes the evolution in this period of the planning and design processes of public greenspaces in the Madrid Metropolitan Area. The regulation of the existence and creation of these spaces, their public accessibility, numbers and area, location, type, and function is reflected in a succession of documents throughout the 20th century under the general denomination of "Urban Plans". These documents differ widely in the variety of topics they cover: planning objectives, treatment of achievements, the territorial scope of the plan's applicability, etc. The resulting difficulties in performing a comparative study were initially resolved by applying two urban greenspace indices -quantity of greenspaces, and square metre of greenspace per inhabitant. These allowed the various plans to be compared and their evolution analyzed. Two of the conclusions drawn from the analyses were: (i) that the proposals of greatest greenspace area corresponded to the middle third of the century, not to the end of the century as might have been expected, but that it was precisely this period that saw the lowest rate of real greenspace creation; and (ii) the enormous influence that two historical Madrid greenspaces -the Casa del Campo, and the Monte de Pardohad on the service indices throughout the century.
