Geospatial modelling and monitoring the basin landscape territorial structure for land use conflicts assessment

The results of geospatial modelling of the basin landscape territorial structure (BLTS) are depicted as a basis for land use conflicts assessment at the local level. The BLTS modelling and monitoring as an integrated approach was elaborated on the example of the mixed forest research area. This structure is imagined as a complicated, hierarchically ordered, set of subsystems, the section of the earth’s surface with the same type of positional conditions and genetic-morphological landscape features, a certain totality of physical-geographic processes that caused typical materially-energy exchange, the material moving, moisture exchange and migration of chemical elements, types of natural resource management systems. Its modelling was conducted in four main phases that help us to identify the location, size, etc. of the water body, the hydromorphological changes and ecological alteration(s); the stream order and watershed basin order; the basin positional-morphological landscape territorial system and subsystem; how interests of sectors presented in the landscapes of the area. Also, it represents a specific attempt to discover ecological conflicts of human interests on relationships with the BLTS environment. This landscapeological method is highly recommended in the case of studying and elaboration of sustainable land use management projects and landscape planning implementation.
