Abstract

Habitat fragmentation and loss is a key issue for land-use planning and environmental policy implementation. Greenlands Systems have been proposed as one solution to this issue. This chapter discusses aspects of implementation of an evolutionary multi objective optimization (EMO) methodology for a Greenlands System design. The application of landscape ecology principles via EMO, combined with analysis of the Pareto front of nondominated solutions and the measure of favor of these solutions provides a methodology to address the deterioration of ecological function in urban fringe areas and insights into the steps that can be taken to promote sustainable peri-urban landscapes. The results of particular landscape metrics using a real-world data set of a small study area bring into relief issues concerning the interplay between the mathematization of landscape ecology principles of design and the resulting set of estimates of the Pareto optimal solutions.
