A Land Systems Approach : Bay of Plenty
Simon Swaffield & Di Lucas, 1999
LAND SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN AN IMPORTANT scientific concept in New Zealand landscape studies for many years (Swaffield and O'Connor I986), but have only recently been incorporated fully into landscape assessments by landscape architects. This case study features the combination of land systems with related ecological and climatic concepts in the Bay of Plenty (BOP) region of New Zealand.
