“…Cultural corridors are important bonds that link cultural nodes with human activities. They play an important role in tourism development, cultural heritage conservation, and the promotion of a sense of place [22,49,50]. The definition of a cultural corridor in this paper emphasizes its function of connectivity and inheritance.…”

“…As for the protection of ecological and cultural resources, inclined research on ecological/cultural conservation strategies focused on the establishment and application of corridors system to solve the relationship between protection and development comprehensively and efficiently [20][21][22][23][24][25]. In fact, Lewis (1964) put forward the linear concept of "environmental corridor" earlier, which contains surfaces, slopes, rims, and adjacent lands paralleling the corridor.…”

This study shows that an integrated ecological and cultural corridor network can help guide city development strategies to better preserve ecological and cultural assets. Traditionally, protection zones and suitable development areas are often identified by separately considering natural elements of the ecosystem and elements of cultural significance. To achieve the purpose of cohesively protecting areas of ecological and/or cultural significance, we have developed a corridor-based spatial framework by integrating ecological and cultural assets. Ecological sources are identified by combining protection prioritization, nature reserves, and water bodies. Ecological corridors are delineated by using the minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) model on a resistance surface constructed from land-use data to connect ecological sources. Ecologically important areas are then delineated by creating a 5-km buffer zone from ecological sources and ecological corridors. Cultural corridors are historical routes and rivers surrounded by abundant cultural nodes. Like ecologically important areas, culturally important areas are delineated by creating a 5-km buffer zone from cultural corridors. Comprehensive regions are the overlap of ecologically and culturally important areas. Finally, the integrated network connects all comprehensive regions following ecological corridors and cultural corridors in such a way that the largest number of ecological sources and cultural nodes are reached. We applied this framework in Beijing, China, and the results show that there are 2011 km2 of ecological sources, 30 ecological corridors, 423 cultural nodes, seven cultural corridors, and 10 comprehensive regions covering 2916 km2 in the integrated network. The framework adds new insights to the methodology of considering ecological and cultural assets together in developing protection and development strategies.

“…Landscape corridors are narrow strips of land that differ from the surrounding matrix [1]. They play key roles in increasing connectivity in fragmented habitats and promoting cultural tourism [4,5]. They are an umbrella term that includes the following five corridor concepts.…”

“…These linear landscapes allow movement from one habitat patch to another [2,3]. From an ecological perspective, corridors play a key role in the reconnection of habitat fragments, and thus in nature conservation [4]. From a cultural perspective, landscape corridors connect sites of sociocultural value, provide access to living, working and recreational spaces, and foster a sense of place related to cultural heritage [5].…”

Landscape corridors are narrow strips of land that differ from the matrix on either side. In addition to providing connectivity between fragmented landscapes, these corridors serve scenic, cultural, social, ecological, and recreational purposes. We systematically reviewed reports and studies related to 92 cultural and ecological landscape corridors in Europe, focusing, in particular, on their planning and management, problems addressed, approaches and tools used, stakeholders involved and spatial scales. Biodiversity conservation was found to be the most frequently stated aim (67% of the cases), followed by recreation and tourism (62%). The planning processes for cultural and ecological landscape corridors were dominated by similar, quite narrow, stakeholder groups, but via a wide variety of approaches and tools. Ecological corridors existed at larger and more variable scales relative to cultural landscape corridors. Significant differences were found in many aspects of the two types of corridors, although a complete separation of the two categories was difficult since most of the cases reviewed were designed to serve multiple aims. We close the paper by making a few recommendations for decision makers concerning future corridor planning.

“…The monuments are an expression of human activity, which evolves together with the historical land use originating cultural landscapes (Hoppert et al 2018). This special issue intends to be an aid in helping to preserve the architectural heritage in urban areas, where pollution and the overuse of these monuments can be problematic.…”
