Retrospective and reconsideration: The first 25 years of the Steinitz framework for landscape architecture education and environmental design
2019, Landscape and Urban PlanningCitation Excerpt :However, do these characteristics suggest that the framework is an overly-broad, and perhaps inexact, representation of landscape change processes? Kato, Yokohari, and Brown (1997) article about ecologically-based planning for rural Japanese landscapes noted that landscape planning in the U.S. is unique, in that it “developed in a setting of abundant land, making it feasible for many alternatives to be considered and allowing local residents to be involved in decision-making” and that the Steinitz framework reflects this context (Kato et al., 1997, p. 70). The decision-making framework developed by the authors in response to the Japanese context includes cognates of Steinitz’ six model levels but does not include a point at which public, or stakeholder, input would be included; instead, municipal-level planners would make decisions to preserve lands solely based on the quality of ecological functions and services they provide.
Historical impacts on linear habitats: The present distribution of grassland species in forest-edge vegetation
2009, Biological ConservationCitation Excerpt :On the basis of the social background of this region, to characterize the pattern of change we selected four time periods (the 1880s, 1950s, 1970s, and 1990s) before and after the major land-use changes described in the previous section. Japan’s national map system is based on a 1-km2 grid covering the whole country (Kato et al., 1997). The Geographical Survey Institute of Japan provided a 100 × 100 m grid of land-use data (each 1-km2 cell was subdivided into 100 × 100-m subcells), with data provided at time intervals of around 5 years from 1974 to 1997.
