Abstract

This study developed a comprehensive framework to incorporate landscape ecological principles into the landscape planning and design process with a focus on the design of new patches in the rural landscape The framework includes two interrelated phases patch analyst PA and patch designer PD The patch analyst augments the process of landscape inventory and analysis It distinguishes nodes associated with potential habitat patches from links associated with corridors and stepping stones between habitats For natural vegetation patches characteristics such as size shape and spatial arrangement have been used to develop analytical tools that distinguish between nodes and links The patch designer uses quantitative information and analytical tools to recommend locations shapes sizes and composition of introduced patches The framework has been applied to the development of a new golf course in the rural Mediterranean landscape of Apulia Southern Italy Fifty new patches of Mediterranean maquis 24 patches and garrigue 26 patches have been designed and located in the golf course raising the overall natural vegetation area to 70 ha 60 of total property The framework has potential for use in a wide variety of landscape planning design and management projectsThe authors would like to thank Planetek Italia srl for the support of GIS and EO tools the Acaya Golf Club Vernole Lecce and its architect D Mazzacane for the opportunity to work on the golf course master plan and Dr F Ippolito and Dr P Medagli Department of Biology University of Lecce Italy for the help in the vegetation analysis
