“…It is very important to examine both ecological and socio-economic landscape qualities and characteristics as per the European Landscape Convention (Jones & Stenseke, 2011). Thus, while preparing the dynamic strategies and holistic planning approaches of the studies, the cultural landscape should be maintained and improved (Tagil, Gormus & Cengiz, 2018). It should not be forgotten that the structure of a cultural landscape area is a whole with its landscape quality, biological diversity and economic value.…”

Cruise tourism and tourism routes directed to the natural and cultural landscape areas of the region constitute the paradigm of this study, which is considered as an alternative tourism type in the Black Sea basin. With this paradigm developed for international port cities that have coasts on the Black Sea basin, each dynamic of the cultural, social, and economic values of the cities at national and international levels are approached as a phenomenon in this study. In this study, the results obtained by correlating the cognitive states of individuals resulting from the "natural sociability-social experience-social environment" approach in touristic travel with the cruise tourism type in the Black Sea basin are examined with empirical methods. In addition to correlation and regression analysis, landscape planning and design criteria are also used in route planning to reveal the causal relationships between cruise tourism experiences and people's destination loyalty. Both the sustainability of the attraction of natural and cultural landscape areas in destination loyalty and the positive conscience gained from the tourism experiences the people are examined with proactive solution suggestions in this study. In this context, with cruise tourism, which is suggested as an alternative tourism type for cities on the coast of the Black Sea basin, a management model for touristic routes is developed by providing opportunities both for the people to experience different tourism activities and the development of regional tourism.

“…Studies focusing on urban land use and human-environment dynamics in urban systems were also common during the last two decades and addressed a range of topics including quantification of impervious areas [82], vegetation cover or dynamics [33,83,84], urbanization or urban growth trends [29,85], or the use of thermal imaging for urbanization effects on land surface temperature [37,69,86]. The research by Tagil et al [87] was framed in an ecological context and used remote sensing in conjunction with other methods to understand urban landscape dynamics and urban ecosystem changes [72]. There were several common themes among urban studies, including the utility of integrating remote sensing, GIS, and socio-economic data for sustainable urban planning and development [29,[87][88][89].…”

Remote Sensing of Human–Environment Interactions in Global Change Research: A Review of Advances, Challenges and Future Directions

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The role of remote sensing and human–environment interactions (HEI) research in social and environmental decision-making has steadily increased along with numerous technological and methodological advances in the global environmental change field. Given the growing inter- and trans-disciplinary nature of studies focused on understanding the human dimensions of global change (HDGC), the need for a synchronization of agendas is evident. We conduct a bibliometric assessment and review of the last two decades of peer-reviewed literature to ascertain what the trends and current directions of integrating remote sensing into HEI research have been and discuss emerging themes, challenges, and opportunities. Despite advances in applying remote sensing to understanding ever more complex HEI fields such as land use/land cover change and landscape degradation, agricultural dynamics, urban geography and ecology, natural hazards, water resources, epidemiology, or paleo HEIs, challenges remain in acquiring and leveraging accurately georeferenced social data and establishing transferable protocols for data integration. However, recent advances in micro-satellite, unmanned aerial systems (UASs), and sensor technology are opening new avenues of integration of remotely sensed data into HEI research at scales relevant for decision-making purposes that simultaneously catalyze developments in HDGC research. Emerging or underutilized methodologies and technologies such as thermal sensing, digital soil mapping, citizen science, UASs, cloud computing, mobile mapping, or the use of “humans as sensors” will continue to enhance the relevance of HEI research in achieving sustainable development goals and driving the science of HDGC further.

“…Incorporating spatial characteristics in the landscape metrics has further expanded the application of metrics into multiple disciplines (Frazier., et al 2017;McGarigal et al 1995;Bhatta et al 2010). Spatial metrics are applied widely to understand urban growth dynamics (Sinha., et al 2011;Imchen., et al 2020) concerning its morphological characteristics like area, density, edge, shape, and diversity (Hargis et al 1998;Dahal., et al 2016;Tagil et al 2018) and other spatial heterogeneity (Rahimi., et al 2022). Changes in urban fringes led by urbanization are better studied using metrics (Baez., et al 2021); It quanti es the diversity, pattern, and interactions among the land fragments (Aimaiti., et al 2016;Dai., et al 2018).…”

The understanding of spatial and geometrical patterns in urbanization is crucial in tackling its associated problems. As urbanization progresses through various stages of development, it reflects different forms, patterns, and interactions based on physical and functional aspects. Spatial metrics, a well-regarded technique for quantifying urban characteristics, is one of several methods developed to achieve this. The current study was conducted in Tiruchirappalli and six other urban centres located within a 40-kilometre radius; which helps to comprehend the comparative growth and spatial patterns in relation to Tiruchirappalli urban centre. The urban centres were divided into eight zones based on direction for more precise quantification. The study employed Landsat 5 and 8 satellite images to classify land use/cover for the periods 1996, 2008, and 2020, which were then used to assess urban spatial growth and quantify spatial and geometrical patterns. Fragstat, a comprehensive application with several metrics, was used to analyse spatial metrics, including patch, class, and landscape levels, which focus on spatial configurations such as area and edge, aggregation, diversity, and shape. The study generated significant data about spatial and geometric properties, patterns, and obstructions of growth. The area and edge metrics and aggregation metrics indicated that Manachanallur, Manapparai, Musiri, Thiruverumbur, and Thuraiyur had the most unpredictable, random growth with highly protrusive urban growth in few zones across the study period. Diversity metrics demonstrated that Tiruchirappalli had the most abundant urban patches, with few patches from other classes. Shape metrics revealed significant improvements from 2008–2020 across all urban centres, whereas from 1996–2008, urban patches were more irregular in shape. The current study is a significant contribution to the urban research in understanding the relative spatial and geometric patterns of urbanization. The knowledge generated could aid in sustainable urban development planning and focus.
