Abstract
ITC is an institute for survey in the widest sense of the word, including analysis and survey of landscape, land use and land-cover. We emphasize the use of remote sensing, including aerial photography, as a survey tool, and thus especially concentrate on the horizontal aspects of the landscape. The term “landscape” is used in three ways, all applicable in landscape ecology: i.e. (1) an ecosystem; (2) the horizontal pattern at the Earth's surface; (3) the visual aspect of the Earth's surface (scenery). Through direct involvement in education, research and consultation on landscape, considerable emphasis is given to “land evaluation”, for which special methods have been introduced and developed. The most important aspect of these methods is their applicability in the developing world.
