Landscape and Urban Planning

期刊简介：Landscape and Urban Planning is an international journal aimed at advancing conceptual, scientific, and applied understandings of landscape in order to promote sustainable solutions for landscape change. Landscapes are visible and integrative social-ecological systems with variable spatial and temporal dimensions. They have expressive aesthetic, natural, and cultural qualities that are perceived and valued by people in multiple ways and invite actions resulting in landscape change. Landscapes are increasingly urban in nature and ecologically and culturally sensitive to changes at local through global scales. Multiple disciplines and perspectives are required to understand landscapes and align social and ecological values to ensure the sustainability of landscapes. The journal is based on the premise that landscape science linked to planning and design can provide mutually supportive outcomes for people and nature.Landscape science brings landscape ecology and urban ecology together with other disciplines and cross-disciplinary fields to identify patterns and understand social-ecological processes influencing landscape change. Landscape planning brings landscape architecture, urban and regional planning, landscape and ecological engineering, and other practice-oriented fields to bear in processes for identifying problems and analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating desirable alternatives for landscape change. Landscape design brings plans, designs, management prescriptions, policies and other activities and form-giving products to bear in effecting landscape change. The implementation of landscape planning and design also generates new patterns of evidence and hypotheses for further research, providing an integral link with landscape science and encouraging transdisciplinary collaborations to build robust knowledge and problem solving capacity.

【译文】景观与城市规划是一本旨在推进景观概念、科学和应用理解的国际化期刊，以促进景观变化的可持续解决方案。景观是可见的、综合的社会-生态系统，具有可变的空间和时间维度。它们具有表达性的美学、自然和文化品质，以多种方式被人们感知和重视，并引发导致景观变化的行为。景观在本质上越来越城市化，对地方到全球尺度的变化在生态和文化上都很敏感。需要多个学科和视角来理解景观，并将社会和生态价值对齐，以确保景观的可持续性。该期刊基于这样一个前提，即与规划和设计相结合的景观科学可以为人类和自然提供相互支持的结果。景观科学将景观生态学和城市生态学与其他学科和跨学科领域结合起来，以识别影响景观变化的模式和了解社会-生态过程。景观规划将景观建筑学、城市和区域规划、景观和生态工程以及其他实践导向领域应用于识别问题和分析、综合和评估景观变化所需的可选方案。景观设计将计划、设计、管理处方、政策以及其他活动和形式给予产品应用于实现景观变化。景观规划和设计的实施还产生了新的证据模式和假设，为进一步研究提供整体联系，并与景观科学相结合，鼓励跨学科合作，以构建强大的知识和解决问题的能力。
