Landscapes have always reflected changing populations, fluctuating needs, and evolving technologies. This volume focuses on landscape perspectives and related development scenarios. The contributors concentrate mainly on future activities in integrated landscape research and monitoring an area of importance for finding solutions for sustainable land use and providing adequate bases for planning and policy making.

The research papers and case studies featured in Landscape Perspectives of Land Use Changes were originally presented at a symposium which formed part of the Seventh International Congress on Ecology. Further contributions from this symposium are contained in Consequences of Land Use Changes (ISBN: 978-1-85312-650-5) also published by WIT Press.
