Features: One of the primary purposes of writing this book is to integrate landscape principles related to the environment and land use; in other words, it aims to effectively summarize knowledge from fields such as geography, landscape design, planning, and other related disciplines. To this day, this goal remains unchanged, and with the continuous advancement of the field of environmental planning in recent years—more participants, more dialogue, and fewer communication barriers—it is something that landscape planning professionals, teachers, researchers, and students can take pride in. The ongoing addition of materials has always been a source of frustration for this book. Due to the vast scope of the field, research requires extensive reading, maps, technical literature, and the issues that arise, which are also quite extensive and complex. Additionally, most of the cases in this book are local or regional examples, and the issues discussed come from various parts of the continent. For this reason, in the edition, we used a large number of appendices and proposed many questions at the end of each chapter; in the second edition, we provided a comprehensive guide; while the third and fourth editions share the common feature of having a dedicated website that offers links to data, maps, and other resources, as well as materials from previous editions.
