What does Landscape mean?
From an ecological context:
Landscape is a mosaic of
interacting ecosystems
Shape and Function
Any shape has its own function
a mosaic of interacting ecosystems…..
What does Landscape mean…..
matrix
Patch
what are landscape elements:
1.Patch
2.Corridor and
3.Matrix
Components of a given landscape:
The shape of the broken patches are important,
Why? To be easy if we would mount them again….
Re-calling the broken bowl....
The less in number, the less in work Effect on function…
Number of Patches
Shape of Patches
Regularity vs. Irregularity in Shape….
Critical question:
How can we address it quantitavely?
Answer:
some kind of indicators……
For doing that…..
LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY is our key…….
Offering a number of metrics/ indicators…..
By which can measure three features:
1. Structure (shape/ form)
2. Configuration(neighborhood/connectivity)
3. Composition
Structure-related metrics:
Structure-related metrics:
Structure-related metrics:
Landscape structure metrics:
An example:
Main question:
1. Whether the census-based socio-economic data has a spatially-explicit?
2. Whether a model can play the role of a bridge (economy and
landscape)?
Applying Landscape metric in Socio-economic context
Where?
How?
Landscape metrics:

Hopefully to find out for the following questions:
Is the value of properties function of their adjacent urban green spaces:
The shape of UGS,
The degree of their connectivity
Indirectly:
Is the people of Lodz caring of:
1. The shape of UGS around where they live?
2. What extent is the connectivity of UGS important for property-buyers in Lodz?
3. Does green corridor contribute the value of properties in Lodz?
green corridor network- roughly designed
Thank you for your attention
Any question?
