Gis and Landscape Analysis

“…It is, then, a concept that can be strongly related to the livelihood of our environment (see, on this topic, Hormaila, 2015).…”

“…This is to be considered, as «Geospatial data or geographically referenced data describe both the locations and characteristics of spatial features» (Chang, 2010, in Azlizan et al, 2016. The chance of using procedures that could be standardized through GIS tools is particularly relevant in the European Union, that is in constant demand for the definition of best practices (Boskovic, 2015).…”

“…It is also an ecological approach, since the "Landscape Ecology" has become a science, that focuses on landscape through its ecological definitions. It is, then, a matter of wildlife, of forestry and its use (see also Hormaila, 2015), but also of fire management, hydrological controlling, recreational approach, and so on.

It is easy to refer, then, to factors, like the geographical, geomorphological, ecological, biological, forestry information.…”
