Description: The prevailing research problem for our national landscapes is: How shall we organize, control, and coordinate public and private development so as to protect, maintain, improve, and manage those landscape features that we value most? Research questions discussed include: environmental/political conflicts, taxation and zoning, landscape classification, public involvement, emerging technology, information and education techniques, landscape benefits, measurement of landscape demand and supply, and systems analysis approaches for comparing the social, economic, ecologic and physical measurements of natural landscapes.
