Book Description
To provide baseline information pertinent to broad scale land use planning for environmentally significant areas in Yukon, a resource survey approach was developed which involves the independent analysis and subsequent integration of abiotic, biotic and cultural (ABC) resource data. This approach can be applied, in whole or in part, to parks and reserves anywhere.

Ecological Planning
Author: Forster Ndubisi
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 080187775X
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Chosen by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2003 Ecological planning is the process of understanding, evaluating, and providing options for the use of landscape to ensure a better fit with human habitation. In this ambitious analysis, Forster Ndubisi provides a succinct historical and comparative account of the various approaches to this process. He then reveals how each of these approaches offers different and uniquely useful perspectives for understanding the dialogue between human and environmental processes. Ndubisi begins by examining the philosophies behind and major contributors to ecological thinking during the past 150 years, as well as the paradigm shift in planning that occurred in recent decades as a result of a growing global ecological awareness. He then turns to landscape suitability analysis and discusses alternative approaches to ecological planning, such as applied human ecology, applied landscape ecology, and others. Finally, he offers a comparative synthesis of the approaches in order to reveal the theoretical and methodological assumptions inherent when planners choose one approach over the other. Ndubisi concludes that no one approach can by itself adequately address the whole spectrum of ecological planning issues. For this reason he offers guidance as to when it may be appropriate for landscape architects and planners to emphasize one approach rather than another.
