TLDR
In this article , a review of landscape metrics and its application in urban and regional planning is presented, which identifies the most prominent authors, papers, journals, keywords, and countries conducting studies in the subject domain.Abstract:
Abstract Landscape metrics have been gaining popularity in urban and regional planning since the early 2000s. Primarily used to assess landscapes’ ecological composition and configuration, the field has expanded to include studies on the environment, land use studies, ecosystem services, spatiotemporal changes in land uses, perception studies, and peri-urban studies. However, a summarization and review of published literature in landscape metrics and its application in urban and regional planning is missing. The present study proposes to familiarize researchers with an overview of the publications in the field. Hence, the review aims at identifying the most prominent authors, papers, journals, keywords, and countries conducting studies in the subject domain. The Web of Science database was selected owing to the broader coverage. The selected articles from the Web of Science database are analyzed using Bibliometrix and Vosviewer software to gather relevant publication trends and identify the most significant networks. The present paper is limited to bibliometric analysis and has identified advances in using landscape metrics in urban and regional planning. The paper also indicates the potential future research areas.read more

Monitoring 3D Changes in Urban Forests Using Landscape Metrics Analyses Based on Multi-Temporal Remote Sensing Data
TL;DR: In this article, a voxel-based GEOBIA approach based on the ALS LiDAR point cloud, satellite imagery, and aerial orthophotos at specific timestamps was proposed to estimate the urban forest volume of Krakow (Poland) and the distribution of vegetation (low, medium, high).

FRAGSTATS: spatial pattern analysis program for quantifying landscape structure
Kevin McGarigal,Barbara J. Marks +1 more
TL;DR: McGarigal et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a spatial pattern analysis program for quantifying landscape structure called FRAGSTATS, which is almost completely automated and thus requires little technical training.

The spatiotemporal form of urban growth: measurement, analysis and modeling
TL;DR: The combined approach using remote sensing, spatial metrics and urban modeling is powerful, and may prove a productive new direction for the improved understanding, representation and modeling of the spatiotemporal forms due to the process of urbanization.

Impacts of landscape structure on surface urban heat islands: A case study of Shanghai, China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated how landscape composition and configuration would affect UHI in Shanghai metropolitan region of China, based on the analysis of land surface temperature (LST) in relation to normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), vegetation fraction (Fv), and percent impervious surface area (ISA).

Patches and Structural Components for A Landscape Ecology
TL;DR: Landscapes as ecological units with structure and function are composed primarily of patches in a matrix, where line corridors, strip corridors, stream corridors, networks, and habitations are major integrative structural characteristics of landscapes.
