The Borneo Planning and Development Journal

The Borneo Planning and Development Journal is a journal aimed at advancing conceptual, scientific, and applied understandings of urban and regional landscape planning and development in order to promote sustainable solutions for landscape change in urban development to reach the sustainable development concept in the modern city. Landscapes are visible and integrative social-ecological systems with variable spatial and temporal dimensions. They have expressive aesthetic, natural, and cultural qualities that are perceived and valued by people in multiple ways and invite actions resulting in landscape change. Landscapes are increasingly urban in nature and ecologically and culturally sensitive to changes at local through global scales. Multiple disciplines and perspectives are required to understand landscapes and align social and ecological values to ensure the sustainability of landscapes. The journal is based on the premise that landscape science linked to planning and design can provide mutually supportive outcomes for people and nature.

This journal encompasses original research articles, review articles, and case studies, including:

• Urban and regional planning & Development
• Landuse planning and development
• Urban Green structure
• Urban Community
• Urban Ecology
• Transportation planning and management
• waste planning and management
• landscape and ecological engineering

Landscape science brings landscape ecology and urban ecology together with other disciplines and cross-disciplinary fields to identify patterns and understand social-ecological processes influencing landscape change. Landscape planning brings landscape architecture, urban and regional planning, landscape and ecological engineering, and other practice-oriented fields to bear in processes for identifying problems and analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating desirable alternatives for landscape change. Landscape design brings plans, designs, management prescriptions, policies and other activities and form-giving products to bear in effecting landscape change. The implementation of landscape planning and design also generates new patterns of evidence and hypotheses for further research, providing an integral link with landscape science and encouraging transdisciplinary collaborations to build robust knowledge and problem solving capacity.
