Abstract

Interscale Landscape Diversity Modelling Methodology (INLAND) was set up in order to carry out landscape diversity modelling tasks. The modelling has dual aims: sampling and mapping. In the confines of this paper I introduce the mapping solution, with the description of the modelling needs, and the application of the output results. INLAND methodology defines landscape diversity as the (human/social) perception of spatial heterogeneity. INLAND also intends to model landscape diversity continuously through-out spatial scales. The automated assessment tools of INLAND carry out the modelling tasks relying on Earth Observation (satellite remote sensing) imagery. With the use of sampling tool – objective parameters can be extracted from input data sources. Mapping solution visualises landscape diversity in a map format in order to provide basis for monitoring, and planning tasks – in comfort with the requirements of European Landscape Convention (2000, Florence). Examples of the application of INLAND maps are also introduced along a case study (Rostock region – Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany).
