Practical application of a land resources information system for agricultural landscape planning

Assessing the efficiency gains of improved spatial targeting of policy interventions; the example of an agri-environmental scheme

“…This trend in benefit mapping studies is linked to the increased research interest in multifunctional land use and ecosystem services, and the increased availability and accessibility of computers, modelling software and (georeferenced) data. These developments also explain why in more recent years there has been a strong increase in the number and diversity of studies looking at the efficiency of spatial targeting of land use policy interventions for the provision of non-market goods (Yang et al, 2003;Park et al, 2004;Groeneveld et al, 2005;Lant et al, 2005;Lee and Thompson, 2005;Messer, 2006;Bailey et al, 2006;Saroinsong et al, 2007). These studies demonstrate time and again that better spatial targeting can in principle result in better value for money.…”

Enhancing biodiversity at business sites: What are the options, and which of these do stakeholders prefer?

“…Although MCA techniques have been employed in (urban) land-use studies (e.g. Saroinsong et al, 2007;Giordano and Riedel, 2008), they have not been applied to the question of how to combine economic and biodiversity interests at business and industrial sites. The aim of this study is to illustrate how an MCA framework for sustainable business sites might be used to analyze how biodiversity can be enhanced at a business site.…”

Ecological Protection Optimization of Traditional Village Landscape in Cold Area Based on Gravity Model

“…Such as Holzkampcr et al proposed LUTOlib traditional village landscape ecological protection optimization method, through the language program to achieve ecological process simulation, and change the topological relationship between landscape patches to protect the landscape optimization of spatial conditions (Holzkämper and Seppelt, 2007), to achieve ecological process and landscape spatial pattern protection optimization Unite. Saroinsong integrated soil erosion risk, land suitability and economic status of the three aspects of information, the use of land resources information system for agricultural traditional village landscape ecological protection optimization (Saroinsong, Harashina, Arifin and Gandasasmita and Sakamoto, 2007). Scppclt et al also simulated the landscape ecology and nutrient loss of traditional village landscapes, and proposed the optimization of pattern protection (Seppelt and Voinov, 2002;Seppelt, 2000).…”
