An integrative and proactive land use planning and management system at regional strategic level and local action level is considered to be essential if surface water systems are to be conserved and improved.
Therefore, an integrative view on land use for fodder, food, and energy production appears to be more sensitive than assessing only singular aspects such as the impact of biomass production.
Conclusions are drawn in terms of risk management of agricultural water recycling as an integrative process for managing associated land use needs.
The adoption of the Integrative Sustainability Concept to analyse land use change from grassland to SRC has the big advantage that socio-economic and ecological aspects are regarded together and of equal rank.
In this article, we suggest that the analysis and monitoring of land-use intensity should follow an integrative conceptual framework that focuses on three dimensions of land-use intensity: inputs to the land, outputs from the land, and the human-induced, but unintended outcomes of land-use intensification that are best measured at the system level.
A commonly applied integrative mass balance approach is the Land-Ocean Interaction in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ) method based on the budget of dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) [ 15].
Self-organizing maps may have a profound and significant role in merging decision-makers with adequate spatial information for health determinants and assessments suggesting a new integrative method of multi-dimension analysis of land use and injury data.
The adaptation of the Integrative Sustainability Concept to the context of land use changes requires the identification of the relevant objectives as well as the selection of appropriate sustainability goals and indicators to measure the progress in reaching these goals.
Land-use was seen as an integrative variable, which depends on natural, as well as on socioeconomic parameters.
Gradually, the research field has become more integrative, focusing on both the drivers and impacts of land change as part of global environmental change.
