An overview of Journal of Land Use Science by the Editor, Richard AspinallThe study of the nature of land use and land cover, their changes over space and time, and the processes that produce these patterns and changes can be termed 'land use science'. Land use science is necessarily an interdisciplinary science since land uses are influenced by, and influence, environmental, ecological, social and economic systems through a complex series of natural and socio-economic processes, including management and decision making.Land use science, therefore, adopts an integrated approach that couples natural and human systems and fosters interdisciplinary collaboration between social, economic, behavioural, environmental, ecological, biological and atmospheric scientists. Land use scientists must also draw on a broad range of interdisciplinary scientific methodologies and enabling technologies.Potential areas for submission would include - the dynamics of change the integration and feedbacks between land use, climate, socio-economic, and ecological systems the resilience, vulnerability, adaptability and sustainability of land use systems the linkages of natural and human systems relationships between land use and land cover spatial and temporal scale issues accuracy issues evolving public and private land management questions and decisions new data and information and improved scientific bases for decision-making related to land use interpretation and communication of scientific knowledge for adaptive management of land use systems human responses to land use change explicit management of uncertainties and definition of the limits to applicability of land use change projections and other analyses, particularly as translated into decision support and participatory approaches Readership The Journal of Land Use Science will be of interest to those in a broad suite of disciplines including agricultural science, animal science, anthropology, decision science, ecology, economics, environmental science, forestry, geography, GIS, landscape ecology, planning, regional science, remote sensing, and sustainability science. ---Disclaimer for Scientific, Technical and Social Science PublicationsTaylor & Francis make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
