Multifunctional landscape paradigms for sustainable landscape resource management

An insight into the possibility of using multifunctional landscape concept for sustainable and ecological landscape resource evaluation, design, planning, monitoring, restoration, conservation and management in both transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary system is further illustrated. Attempt were made to comprehensively put together some landscape indices for different functions from previous studies in an effort to further bridge the gap between research findings and application, different disciplines working with the landscape, resource managers and users, use and conservation conflict, and tangible and their non tangible functions. A concise way of analysis that is very flexible while allowing for multiple data integration to facilitate landscape multifunctionality strategy is suggested in a simpler language and style that is adoptable by different landscape practitioners and scientists.
