Abstract

Land-use change has often been one of the main drivers of economic growth, social change and innovations of the government. For this reason, as mentioned by Magalhães [1], the analysis and comprehension of the processes, which throughout time, influenced landscape form and patterns (and thus land use), constitute an essential feature for those aiming to work in and with it. Thus, this subject has been widely addressed considering not only the historical role of cities but also the problem that land-use change had caused throughout time ([2–6]). Still, the analysis of land-use change is generally associated to the impacts of growth, and to the implications it had on environmental, economic and social development dimensions ([7–12]). In fact, the environmental movement marked somehow by the publication of the book Silent Spring by Rachel Carson in 1962 may be considered a good example of this association, not only because Carson’s book exposed the negative environmental impacts of land-use change considering the unchecked impact of industrial development both on natural ecosystems and human health, but also because the conversion of natural land into urbanized one started to be viewed as a possible threat to future of the planet.
导论章:土地使用规划和土地使用变化作为可持续发展的催化剂
土地利用变化往往是经济增长、社会变革和政府创新的主要驱动力之一。因此,正如magalh[1]所提到的,分析和理解随着时间的推移,影响景观形态和模式(从而影响土地利用)的过程,对于那些打算在其中工作的人来说,是一个必不可少的特征。因此,考虑到城市的历史作用,以及土地利用变化在整个时间内引起的问题,这一主题得到了广泛的讨论([2-6])。然而,对土地利用变化的分析通常与增长的影响及其对环境、经济和社会发展方面的影响有关([7-12])。事实上,以雷切尔·卡森1962年出版的《寂静的春天》为标志的环境运动可能被认为是这种联系的一个很好的例子,不仅因为卡森的书揭露了土地利用变化对环境的负面影响考虑到工业发展对自然生态系统和人类健康的不可抑制的影响,但也因为自然土地向城市化土地的转变开始被视为对地球未来的潜在威胁。
