Our study suggests landscape pattern analysis and ecosystem service valuation are two powerful tools that can ensure a holistic and integrative decision making in regulating spatial coastal urbanization.
Moreover, enabling technologies, such as real-time visualization and quick simulations prior to all in vivo experiments, could impact assumptions, trigger learning, and optimize use of animal resources, and enable rational integrative decision making on target and compound progression.
A computational model can then provide an independent test for each opinion in the process by quantifying specific mechanisms and pathways that lead to the specific result and then provide an integrative tool for decision-making process.
More integrative and complex approaches to decision-making, besides adopting new technologies, are necessary for redesigning more productive, stable, and sustainable farming systems.
A Primer on Environonmental Decision-Making: An Integrative Quantitative Approach Knut Lehre Seip, Fred Wenstøp New York:Springer, 2006.
Integrative information systems can improve decision-making, as is evidenced by patient response to therapy based on the use of different monitoring devices [ 8- 10].
The paper emphasises the integrative prospects of landscape functions for monitoring, indicator assessment and the integration to land use decision-making in the context of spatial planning.
The contention of this research is that an integrative systems approach to top-down decision-making and an understanding of bottom-up influences in stakeholder decisions is critical to the understanding sustainable practices and decisions that lead to their adoption in the AEC industry.
And stress makes good decision-making harder.
The practical intent of the NIH group's paperthat guided the method - to guide primary care doctors through the evidence for their own decision-making on inclusion of integrative services -- might have been called out more strongly.
