Forest fires are one of the major causes of ecological disturbance in the mediterranean climate ecosystems of the world. Despite
the fact that a lot of resources have been invested in fire prevention and suppression, the number of fires occurring in the
Mediterranean Basin in the recent decades has continued to markedly increase. The understanding of the relationship between
landscape and fire lies, among others, in the identification of the system’s post-fire resilience. In our study, ecological
and landscape data are integrated with decision-support techniques in a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) framework to
evaluate the risk of losing post-fire resilience in Pinus halepensis forests, using Cape Sounion National Park, Central Greece, as a pilot case. The multi-criteria decision support approach
has been used to synthesize both bio-indicators (woody cover, pine density, legume cover and relative species richness and
annual colonizers) and geo-indicators (fire history, parent material, and slope inclination) in order to rank the landscape
components. Judgments related to the significance of each factor were incorporated within the weights coefficients and then
integrated into the multicriteria rule to map the risk index. Sensitivity analysis was very critical for assessing the contribution
of each factor and the sensitivity to subjective weight judgments to the final output. The results of this study include a
final ranking map of the risk of losing resilience, which is very useful in identifying the “risk hotspots”, where post-fire
management measures should be applied in priority. 相似文献

The decision-making environment in forest management (FM) has changed drastically during the last decades. Forest management
planning is facing increasing complexity due to a widening portfolio of forest goods and services, a societal demand for a
rational, transparent decision process and rising uncertainties concerning future environmental conditions (e.g., climate
change). Methodological responses to these challenges include an intensified use of ecosystem models to provide an enriched,
quantitative information base for FM planning. Furthermore, multi-criteria methods are increasingly used to amalgamate information,
preferences, expert judgments and value expressions, in support of the participatory and communicative dimensions of modern
forestry. Although the potential of combining these two approaches has been demonstrated in a number of studies, methodological
aspects in interfacing forest ecosystem models (FEM) and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) are scarcely addressed explicitly.
In this contribution we review the state of the art in FEM and MCDA in the context of FM planning and highlight some of the
crucial issues when combining ecosystem and preference modeling. We discuss issues and requirements in selecting approaches
suitable for supporting FM planning problems from the growing body of FEM and MCDA concepts. We furthermore identify two major
challenges in a harmonized application of FEM-MCDA: (i) the design and implementation of an indicator-based analysis framework
capturing ecological and social aspects and their interactions relevant for the decision process, and (ii) holistic information
management that supports consistent use of different information sources, provides meta-information as well as information
on uncertainties throughout the planning process. 相似文献

A fuzzy decision analysis method for integrating ecological indicators was developed. This was a combination of a fuzzy ranking method and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The method was capable of ranking ecosystems in terms of environmental conditions and suggesting cumulative impacts across a large region. Using data on land cover, population, roads, streams, air pollution, and topography of the Mid-Atlantic region, we were able to point out areas that were in relatively poor condition and/or vulnerable to future deterioration. The method offered an easy and comprehensive way to combine the strengths of fuzzy set theory and the AHP for ecological assessment. Furthermore, the suggested method can serve as a building block for the evaluation of environmental policies. 相似文献

Al-Juaidi, Ahmed E., Jagath J. Kaluarachchi, and Ungtae Kim, 2010. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis of Treated Wastewater Use for Agriculture in Water Deficit Regions. Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA) 46(2):395-411. DOI: 10.1111/j.1752-1688.2009.00409.x Abstract: Coastal regions such as the Gaza Strip of Palestine with limited freshwater supply suffer significantly due to the rapid depletion of water levels, seawater intrusion, and increased water demands. In such regions, use of treated wastewater (TWW) is a viable option if public health issues are addressed. The goal of this paper is to address the use of TWW in agriculture while considering net benefit, economic efficiency of water use (EEWU), environmental goals, and public health risks. The proposed methodology considers public health risk assessment and multi-criteria decision analysis to assess the beneficial use of TWW in agriculture. The methodology was demonstrated for the Gaza Strip. The health risk assessment suggests that increasing the elapsed time between irrigation and consumption and switching from surface to sprinkler and drip irrigation are practical measures to reduce public health risks. The optimization and decision analyses show that proper allocation of freshwater and TWW and distribution of land area by crop type can significantly increase the net benefit and EEWU. In most cases, net benefit increased by 44%, groundwater use reduced 29% while increasing the EEWU by threefold compared with the existing conditions. The multi-criteria decision analysis with weighted goal programming can develop flexible management options that considers a given decision-maker preference. When groundwater abstraction for agriculture reduced from 57 to 36 Mm3 as per decision analysis, the corresponding area below mean sea level decreased by 58% indicating significant aquifer recovery. 相似文献

A Knowledge-Based Systems Approach to Design of Spatial Decision Support Systems for Environmental Management 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
/ This paper describes a framework for designing spatial decision support systems for environmental management using a knowledge-based systems approach. An architecture for knowledge-based spatial decision supportsystems (KBSDSS) is presented that integrates knowledge-based systems with geographical information systems (GIS) and other problem-solving techniques. A method based on spatial influence diagrams is developed for representation of environmental problems. The spatial influence diagram provides an interface through which knowledge-based systems techniques can be applied to build capabilities for problem formulation, automated design, and execution of a solution process. In addition to the flexibility and developmental advantages of knowledge-based systems, the KBSDSS incorporates expert knowledge to provide assistance for structuring spatial influence diagrams and executing a solution process that automatically integrates the GIS, data base, knowledge base, and different types of models. The framework is illustrated with a system, known as the Islay Land Use Decision Support System (ILUDSS), designed to assist planners in strategic planning of land use for the development of the island of Islay, off the west coast of Scotland.KEY WORDS: Geographical information systems; Spatial decision support systems; Knowledge-based systems; Spatial influence diagrams; Environmental management 相似文献

Nature provides life-support services which do not merely constitute the basis for ecosystem integrity but also benefit human
societies. The importance of such multiple outputs is often ignored or underestimated in environmental planning and decision
making. The economic valuation of ecosystem functions or services has been widely used to make these benefits economically
visible and thus address this deficiency. Alternatively, the relative importance of the components of ecosystem value can
be identified and compared by means of multi-criteria evaluation. Hereupon, this article proposes a conceptual framework that
couples ecosystem function analysis, multi criteria evaluation and social research methodologies for introducing an ecosystem
function-based planning and management approach. The framework consists of five steps providing the structure of a participative
decision making process which is then tested and ratified, by applying the discrete multi-criteria method NAIADE, in the Kalloni
Natura 2000 site, on Lesbos, Greece. Three scenarios were developed and evaluated with regard to their impacts on the different
types of ecosystem functions and the social actors’ value judgements. A conflict analysis permitted the better elaboration
of the different views, outlining the coalitions formed in the local community and shaping the way towards reaching a consensus. 相似文献

The effects of military training activities on the land condition of Army installations vary spatially and temporally. Training activities observably degrade land condition while also increasing biodiversity and stabilizing ecosystems. Moreover, other anthropogenic activities regularly occur on military lands such as prescribed burns and agricultural haying—adding to the dynamics of land condition. Thus, spatially and temporally assessing the impacts of military training, prescribed burning, agricultural haying, and their interactions is critical to the management of military lands. In this study, the spatial distributions and patterns of military training-induced disturbance frequency were derived using plot observation and point observation-based method, at Fort Riley, Kansas from 1989 to 2001. Moreover, spatial and variance analysis of cumulative impacts due to military training, burning, haying, and their interactions on the land condition of Fort Riley were conducted. The results showed that: (1) low disturbance intensity dominated the majority of the study area with exception of concentrated training within centralized areas; (2) high and low values of disturbance frequency were spatially clustered and had spatial patterns that differed significantly from a random distribution; and (3) interactions between prescribed burning and agricultural haying were not significant in terms of either soil erosion or disturbance intensity although their means and variances differed significantly between the burned and non-burned areas and between the hayed and non-hayed areas. 相似文献
