Security patterns: a defensive approach toward landscape and environmental planning
- 摘要：
- The methodology of landscape and environmental planning have been severely challenged whenclassical concepts and models as such economic optimum,ecological fitness,safe minimum standard,carrying capacity and even sustainability have been questioned.It is observed that (i)It is extremely difficultyto have planning either aimed at ecological optimum or economic maximum,i.e.planning is not determinednor absolute in terms of environmental and economic criteria,it is defensible.(ii)Environment may imposesome"ultimate"or "absolute"constraints on development,which planning has to come to terms with,butsuch limits and constraints are hardly definable nor acceptable,and therefore,have limited usefulness inplanning,i.e.planning is in need of some defensible strategies to rationalize the planning process. A defensible approach to landscape and environmental planning is,therefor,proposed.It isargued that planning is a defensible process and defending using some strategic frontiers at security levels(spatially security patterns)may be more reasonable and effective.Using a case study,it is furtherdemonstrated that security levels and patterns are definable based on the disproportionate and irregularityquality of the dynamics of the ecological processes.
