Summary
A new regional landscape pattern monitoring information system (RLPMIS) integrates data management, analysis, and forecasting. This system enables scientific management and dynamic monitoring of regional landscape patterns.
Area of Science:
- Ecological Informatics
- Geographic Information Systems
- Landscape Ecology
Background:
- Effective management of landscape ecological data is crucial for regional planning.
- Dynamic monitoring of landscape patterns is essential for understanding ecological changes.
- Existing systems may lack integrated capabilities for data management, analysis, and forecasting.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a Regional Landscape Pattern Monitoring Information System (RLPMIS).
- To integrate data management, query, analysis, and forecasting functions for landscape ecology.
- To provide a tool for scientifically managing and dynamically monitoring regional landscape patterns.
Main Methods:
- Combination of Delphi method and MapX software for system development.
- Development of four core modules: data management, query management, landscape index analysis, and landscape forecasting.
- Integration of graphical and attribute data for comprehensive landscape analysis.
Main Results:
- The RLPMIS effectively integrates and manages landscape data, enabling spatial display, location, and inquiry.
- The system allows for comprehensive analysis of landscape patterns using various landscape indices.
- Dynamic generation of statistical graphs and tables visualizes landscape pattern changes over time.
Conclusions:
- The developed RLPMIS provides a robust platform for scientific landscape management and monitoring.
- The system facilitates the analysis of landscape patterns and forecasting of future trends.
- This approach enhances the understanding and management of regional ecological dynamics.
