quarry [28]. However, the way in which the quarry is perceived by the observer depends on the rela - tive spatial characteristics between the shape of the quarry and the morphology of the surrounding landscape, as well as the amount of the quarried area which may be seen from a given observation

2. Sustained or improved ecosystem services. 3. Sufficient delivery of food and non-food products. 4. Efficient use of resources. Depending on the landscape in question, the relative weight on each of these objectives will vary, but all objectives would always be present, i.e. the weight would always be >0 for each objective.

The objectives of this paper are to look at quarries and quarry landscapes from a micro-level perspective in terms of ... as a tool for comparing one quarry land-scape with another. A key problem is to address multiperiod and multifunctional quarrying, as seen in many quarry land-scapes. This requires 'deconstruction' of

a landscape, a quarry landscape. The objective of this study is to draw attention to the role of quarries in the landscape and the changing approaches to their management after QUARRIES IN LANDSCAPE AND GEOTOURISM Jerzy Nita University of Silesia Faculty of Earth Sciences Będzińska 60, 41-200 Sosnowiec: Poland e-mail address: [email protected]

The objectives of this study are therefore to assess the environmental effects of limestone quarrying and its effects on the health status of the community. It is hoped that the results of this study will not only help environmental scientists but also poli-ticians in policy formulation. 2. Materials and Methods

Minerals quarrying can impact significantly on natural and social environments, and ... landscape enhancement or recreational benefits, and ... approach to quarry restoration. The objectives of this report are: 1. To outline the ecosystem services approach

The approach to managing the effects of quarrying and gravel extraction is fairly common across plans, and many have objectives and policies that aim to avoid, remedy or mitigate the effects of these activities. The objectives and policies can be general in nature or tailored specifically to quarrying and/or gravel extraction activities.

The objectives of the present study are thus to (1) Extend the analysis of Iverson to more comprehensively evaluate the dependence of quarrying on effective pressure, to assess the effect of bed slope, and construct an erosion law for quarrying based on these results; (2) implement the resulting erosion law in a large-scale landscape evolution ...
