چکیده

مفهوم ارتباط سیمای سرزمین در یک منطقه به منظور توصیف چگونگی تاثیر چیدمان مکانی و کیفیت بخش‌‌‌‌‌های مختلف سیمای سرزمین بر مهاجرت و جابه‌‌‌‌‌جایی موجودات در میان تکه‌‌‌‌‌های زیستگاهی مورد توجه و استفاده قرار گرفته است. از آن‌‌‌‌‌جایی که هدف اصلی بررسی ارتباطات سیمای سرزمین، برنامه‌‌‌‌‌ریزی و مدیریت سیمای سرزمین به منظور حفظ و نگهداشت تنوع‌زیستی موجود در تکه‌‌‌‌‌های زیستگاهی کمیاب و پراکنده است به طوری که پایداری فرایندهای بوم‌‌‌‌‌شناختی را در سیمای سرزمین تضمین نماید، در این مطالعه، سعی شده تا با استفاده از شیوه توصیفی- تحلیلی و مرور منابع علمی ارتباطات سیمای سرزمین و اهمیت آن برای حفظ تنوع‌زیستی همراه با رویکردها و ابزارهای مورد استفاده برای کمی‌‌‌‌‌سازی ارتباطات سیمای سرزمین مورد بررسی قرار گیرد. بنابراین ابتدا در این مطالعه داده‌‌‌‌‌های مورد بررسی در دو گروه؛ اطلاعات کلی در مورد ارتباطات سیمای سرزمین و روش‌‌‌‌‌ها و ابزارهای مورد استفاده در بررسی ارتباطات سیمای سرزمین سازمان یافت. بررسی‌‌‌‌‌ها نشان داد که تحلیل کمترین هزینه بیشترین کاربرد را در مطالعه ارتباطات سیمای سرزمین داشته است. از سوی دیگر یافته‌‌‌‌‌ها نشان داد که بیشتر منابع علمی ارتباطات عملکردی سیمای سرزمین را ارزیابی کرده‌‌‌‌‌اند. هم‌‌‌‌‌چنین نتایج بررسی بیانگر این است که ابزار ترجیحی برای بررسی ارتباطات سیمای سرزمین CONEFOR بوده و نرم‌‌‌‌‌افزارLINKAGE MAPPER  به خاطر استفاده از روش کمترین هزینه در تحلیل بیشتر مورد توجه قرار دارد. به طور کلی استفاده از رویکردهای مدل‌‌‌‌‌سازی ارتباطات و ابزارهای کاربردی در این زمینه با توجه به اهداف مطالعه و میزان اهمیت زیستگاه‌‌‌‌‌ها و گونه‌‌‌‌‌ها می‌‌‌‌‌تواند متفاوت باشد.

چکیده [English]

 
The concept of landscape connectivity in a region is used to describe how the spatial arrangement and the quality of elements in the landscape affect the movement and migration of organisms among habitat patches. The main purpose of landscape connectivity survey is landscape planning and management in order to maintain biodiversity in the rare and fragmented habitats so that the stability of ecological processes is assured. In this study, we used descriptive-analytic method and literature review in connection with landscape connectivity and its importance for biodiversity conservation and the methods and tools for quantification of landscape connectivity. The data we gathered were organized into two categories of general information about landscape connectivity and methods and applied tools of landscape connectivity. Results showed that the least cost analysis was the most commonly applied method. We also showed the focus is on the functional connectivity of landscape. Our results revealed CONEFOR was the preferred tool in landscape connectivity analysis and LINKAGE MAPPER software is more applied because of using least cost analysis. Use of connectivity modeling approaches and applied tools can be different due to objectives of the studies and and the importance of habitats and species.
