This course aims to examine the relationships between landscape pattern, processes and change, and to show the importance of landscape pattern analysis in ecological landscape planning processes by the application of different tools and analysis techniques.
General definitions, principles and concepts related to landscape and landscape ecology. Landscape fragmentation (LF), drivers, consequences and effects of LP on landscapes. Landscape composition, configuration, analysis and implementation of landscape metrics. Examination of case studies for incorporating the results landscape pattern analysis into landscape planning processes.
