TLDR
Ecological Networks describe the structure of existing real ecosystems and help planning their expansion, conservation and improvement and verify whether any transformation proposals, as those collected in participatory decision-making processes for public policy making, are consistent with land usage restrictions.
Abstract
Ecological Networks (ENs) describe the structure of existing real ecosystems and help planning their expansion, conservation and improvement. While various mathematical models of ENs have been defined, to our knowledge they focus on simulating ecosystems, but none of them deals with verifying whether any transformation proposals, as those collected in participatory decision-making processes for public policy making, are consistent with land usage restrictions.

A Semantic Approach to Constraint-Based Reasoning in Geographical Domains

TL;DR: Various models have been developed to manage geographic data but most of them integrate heterogeneous techniques to support knowledge representation and reasoning far from optimal because it requires mapping data between different representation formats.

Integration of Cultural and Natural Heritage Information in Future Mobile Guides

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present a visualization model supporting the map-based presentation of environmental data about geographic areas, based on the evaluation of the ecological aspects of a landscape and on the dynamic generation of a layer that shows the levels of naturality, the land use, and other similar characteristics, of the area in focus.
