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 assessment of the cumulative risk resulting from multiple problem sources. Today’s environmental managers, urban planners, and decision-makers are increasingly expected to examine environmental and economic problems in a larger geographic context that crosses national boundaries and scientific disciplines. Secondly, cont- porary policy-makers have also been challenged on how they view security. The conventional definition of national security has been expanded to include environmental threats resulting from resource scarcity and overpopulation and it is recognized that environmental factors may have | 出版日期 | Conference proceedings 2008 | 关键词 | Biodiversity; Ecology; Monitoring; Transport; USA; development; ecosystem; environment; integration; landscap | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-6594-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4020-6589-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4020-6594-1Series ISSN 1874-6519 Series E-ISSN 1874-6543 | issn_series | 1874-6519 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2008 |
