Landscape information modeling with the approach of controlling urban metabolism

Paying attention to the environmental dimensions in the urban landscape has increased in recent years due to the growth of urbanization and the performance of human activities in it, which has caused human intervention in nature and disruption of the natural order. These changes, which have been applied to meet the human needs in the urban ecosystem, have emerged as effective and destructive services of the ecosystem and have caused disruption and instability in the mechanism of the natural landscape of the city and healthy human life. In order to establish sustainability in the urban landscape, which has been provided the context for human and environmental activities, it is necessary to control the destructive environmental factors by employing assessment tools.regarding the importance of environmental sustainability and the landscape as part of nature and a dynamic and complex ecosystem, urban metabolism has been used in this research to evaluate and control ecosystem services. Firstly, the background and the indicators of the urban landscape and metabolism were reviewed in the relevant, authentic books and articles. Then the factors affecting the control of metabolism in the urban landscape were explained since the metabolism had been used was used for urban planning in the previous studies, and it had been used less in the field of stability control in the landscape. Moreover, since the landscape has a multifaceted approach, there were many variables in different dimensions for landscape stability management that required multi-dimensional planning and management; therefore, the landscape information modeling (LIM) method was used in this project to master the whole discussions. Furthermore, landscape information was divided into seven dimensions with the help of the records of the architectural information modeling method. Finally, to create a conceptual model that fully would express the relationship between urban landscape metabolism and landscape information modeling, we needed to use a management strategy. In order to meet this challenge, Thompson and Martin s management strategy models were used because both aspects of landscape information modeling and urban metabolism control on sustainability path were examined simultaneously in this method. Finally, general preference was measured to achieve sustainability and establish a perfect balance at the end of the process.
