Socioeconomic and Ecological Modeling for Sustainable Landscape Management in Indian Himalayan Perspective
Abstract This study presents the development and evaluation of a conceptual model for landscape management in the Himalayas of India following several years’ research in the region. Data were gathered through empirical studies and remote sensing in space and time and subsequently analyzed, and some examples are presented. The theory is described and the resultant theoretical model through which we were able to analyze the consequences of changes in landscape and development of whole region via scenario development. The theoretical model was developed in view of the relationship between the people demand and use of the resources in a landscape of the Himalayas of India. The outcome of model was evaluated based on socioeconomic and ecological indicators. Concurrently, we have projected the need to handle the theoretical model (which is qualitative/descriptive) with a quantitative/mathematical modeling approach. For this we have stemmed own approach in viewpoint of our requirements while also undertaking a literature survey on the conceptual approach of interdisciplinary landscape research for additional methodological perspectives. This was intended to explore further options for adopting relevant methodologies to assist the development of the conceptual model for the mountain landscape. The overall process helped us to be transferred our theory to concepts and to understand the science of the whole landscape. Consequently, the notion for conceptual model system MODAM (Multiple Objectives Decision Support Tools for Landscape Management) was materialized and was developed while emphasizing a linear programming approach. Its purpose is to integrate interdisciplinary research planning and to carry out landscape management-related research in the mountains of the Indian Himalayan region where landscape complexity is comparatively high. The concepts and insights described in this article are not unique among the disciplines; however, they should provide the basis for a discussion of decision-making issues among multidisciplinary experts working on issues of sustainable development within complex environments.
