内容简介：It is imperative that scientists, especially geo-scientists, understand and take their societal as well as scholarly responsibilities in their academic activities. Not only should their work be contributive to the advancement of scientific knowledge, but it should also be useful to sound planning and decision-making. Under this general framework, this presentation discusses the environment in which landscape ecologists conduct research; explores the relationships among the processes of landscape analysis, planning, and decision-making; describes the roles geographic information techniques play in supporting each and every process and in connecting all three. It uses a riparian buffer study in North Carolina, USA, to illustrate a scientific research, when conducted consciously, can benefit all the three processes.
