The development on the forest resources in the area requires enough environmental consideration such as the ecological conservation, social and economical perspectives. This was recognized that the development of the forest resources also requires adequate forest management plan and its project implementation in accordance with the comprehensive development plan. Under those backgrounds, “The Feasibility Study on the Forest Management Plan in the Central Highlands in Socialist Republic of Vietnam” was conducted in Kon Tum Province from January 2000 to December 2002. The study targeted to Kon Plong district in the province. Based on the Forest resource inventory study and management condition of the forest enterprise, target area for the project implementation was identified and master plan for the forest management including plans for silvicultural development and support for villagers were proposed.

  • Measuring Indicators for Landscape Change in Kon Tum Province, Vietnam
    Modern Environmental Science and Engineering (ISSN 2333-2581) November 2019, Volume 5, No. 11, pp. 1009-1019 Doi: 10.15341/mese(2333-2581)/11.05.2019/004 Academic Star Publishing Company, 2019 www.academicstar.us Measuring Indicators for Landscape Change in Kon Tum Province, Vietnam Lai Vinh Cam, Nguyen Van Hong, Vuong Hong Nhat, Nguyen Thi Thu Hien, Nguyen Phuong Thao, Tran Thi Nhung, and Le Ba Bien Institute of Geography, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Vietnam Abstract: This paper’s aim is concentrated on measuring the difference in landscape visual character as an indicator of landscape change. Seven landscape character indicators are used for calculating in a study area in Kon Tum province, Vietnam; concluding Landscape Shape Index, Aggregation Index, Number of Patches, Patch Density, Patch Cohesion Index, Perimeter - Area Ratio, Percentage of Landscape. This set of indicators proposed in previous research by McGarigal and Marks (1995) and calculated with GIS, Fragstats software. These indicators also express the attributes of the component maps which we used for main input data are land-use map, digital elevation map and soil map. These are the necessary mapping materials for calculating the indicators. In the method is used in this paper, a value for each indicator will be assigned for each observation to capture the character of the landscape. They will be compared with each other and considered changes in the forest, agricultural, artificial and others. This work is replicable and transparent, and constitutes a methodological step for landscape indication, since it adds a reference value for analyzing differences in landscape character.
