Overview

Multi-scaled assessment identifies landscape character types in rural areas, suggesting pathways for management.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess rural landscapes in the Longchuan River Basin and adapt a framework for multi-level governance.
  • Constructed a multi-scale evaluation system (county, township, reservoir levels).
  • Integrated six categories of natural variables at a large scale.
  • Utilized Principal Component Analysis–Two-Step Clustering coupled with eCognition software.
  • Conducted field surveys in four typical reservoir areas to assess landscape impacts.
  • Identified 11 landscape character types and 41 character areas at the large scale.
  • Identified 6 landscape character types and 73 character areas at the medium scale.
  • Field surveys revealed in-depth impacts of hydropower construction on landscape characteristics.
