Landscape research, landscape policy and Earth observation

摘要: 'Landscape' refers explicitly to spatial structures of outdoor environments and the role these in nature society. Since repetitive land coverages Earth observation systems such as SPOT (Systeme Probatoire pour l'Observation de la Terre) Landsat provide a wealth landscape images from local continental scale, one would expect more systematic use data by researchers planners than is currently case. This paper states that divergence between central goals, vocabularies methods distinct fields research, policy remote sensing may be prohibiting implementation. Examples are given which methodological steps necessary bridge gaps explained. These based on experiences analysis for ecological planning projects. The coverage over extensive areas, grid format multi-temporal facility remain major assets...
