The assessment of land use and land cover is an important activity for cont- porary land management. Human land-use practices are the most significant factors influencing environmental management at local, regional, national, and global scales. In the past, environmental policies have often reflected a reactive response to environmental perturbations with management efforts focused on short-term, local-scale problems such as pollutant abatement. Currently, environmental management philosophy is evolving toward examination of critical environmental problems over larger spatial scales and...

Im Zusammenhang mit der EU-Gesetzgebung werden auf allen Planungsebenen Konzepte zur Definition von Umweltzielen und Umweltindikatoren, basierend auf der Agenda 21, gefordert. In Deutschland bestehen durch das foderale System Hurden, die es in anderen europaischen Landern so nicht gibt. Die Unterteilung der Gesetzgebung in Bundes-, Landes-, Regional- und Kommunalebene erschwert den Prozess der Zielfindung auf der einen und der Umsetzung auf der anderen Seite. Der vorliegende Band stellt zum ersten Mal in geschlossener Form die wissenschaftlichen Anforderungen an die Festlegung von...
