Advancing Land Change Modeling
People are constantly changing the land surface through construction, agriculture, energy production, and other activities. Changes both in how land is used by people (land use) and in the vegetation, rock, buildings, and other physical material that cover the Earth's surface (land cover) can be described and future land change can be projected using land-change models (LCMs). LCMs are a key means for understanding how humans are reshaping the Earth's surface in the past and present, for forecasting future landscape conditions, and for developing policies to manage our use of resources and the environment at scales ranging from an individual parcel of land in a city to vast expanses of fores...

Archipelago Tourism
Exploring the conceptual insights provided by the archipelagic 'twist' in the context of tourism principles, policies and practices, this volume draws on an international series of case studies to analyse best practice in branding, marketing and logistics in archipelago tourist destinations. The book asks and seeks to answer such questions as: How to 'sell' a multi-island destination, without risking a message that may be too complex and diffuse for audiences to grab on to? Does one encourage visitors to do 'island hopping'; and, if so, how and with what logistic facilities? How does one ascribe specific island destinations within an overall archipelago brand? Would smaller islands rebel against a composite branding strategy that actually benefits other islands? How does one read or craft transport policies as a function of the 'reterritorialisation' of a multi-island space? This book pioneers the exploration of the archipelago as tourism study focus (and not just locus); a heuristic device for rendering islands as sites of different tourism practices, industries and policies, but also of challenges and possibilities.
Türkiye'de botanik tarihi araştırmaları
Bu gezginler arasında Anadolu'nun yerli ve yetiştirilmiş bitkilerinden bahsetmiş olanlar varsa biz onları Anadolu florası ile ilgilenen araştırıcılar olarak görüyor ve eserlerini de Anadolu florası ile ilgili birer yayın olarak kabul ediyoruz. Fransız doğa bilimci P. Belon (1517-1564), bu tip gezginlerden ilkidir. 1546-1549'da Doğu Akdeniz ülkelerine gelmiş, ilk baskısı 1553 tarihini taşıyan seyahatnamesinde, Anadolu'dan Amanos dağı, Adana Torosları, Uludağ ve İstanbul civarının yabani bitkilerini, tanıyabildiği kadarıyla, birer liste halinde kaydetmiştir. Bu listelerin içerdiği bitki adlarının çoğu kesinlik taşımamakla beraber, yöre adı vererek o yörenin yerli bitkilerini sıraladığına göre seyahatname floristik bir çalışma niteliğine sahiptir.

Measuring Landscapes
This practical handbook bridges the gap between those scientists who study landscapes and the planners and conservationists who must then decide how best to preserve and build environmentally-sound habitats. Until now, only a small portion of the relevant science has influenced the decision-making arenas where the future of our landscapes is debated and decided. The authors explain specific tools and concepts to measure a landscape's structure, form, and change over time. Metrics studied include patch richness, class area proportion, patch number and density, mean patch size, shape, radius of gyration, contagion, edge contrast, nearest neighbor distance, and proximity. These measures will help planners and conservationists make better land use decisions for the future.
