L3, P2: Introduction to Zonation - Outputs and applications
Channel: Luonnonpaikka
Date: 2021-03-10

This is the second part of a video lecture that gives an introduction to the spatial conservation prioritization software and framework Zonation. Here the basic outputs and practical applications of Zonation analyses are inspected. The Finnish land-use planning system is described and the contribution of spatial prioritization to land-use zoning is explained. If you missed the first part of this lecture, be sure to view that video before this one as it explained the inputs and the working principle of Zonation.

The lectures belong to a course on spatial land-use planning (ECOS1088), taught by Dr. Kaisa J. Raatikainen at the University of Jyväskylä in spring 2021. The course combines the practices of land-use planning with theoretical background from landscape ecology and conservation science, with specific attention on GIS-based conservation prioritization.

The previous lecture concentrated on the basic concepts and theoretical background related to spatial conservation planning. The following lectures will dig deeper into matters of connectivity, costs of conservation, and constraints to prioritization.
