Modeling of Landscape Change and Tele-Coupling in Local Socio-Ecological Systems: A Simulation of Land Use Change and Recreational Activities in Southern Idaho, United States

The modeling of landscape change and socio-ecological systems (SES) tends to ignore the interactions across distance and boundaries. To fill the gap, this research analyzes landscape change by considering the tele-coupling effects at the local scale between Owyhee county and Treasure Valley in Idaho, United States. The spatial distribution of recreational activities in Owyhee county are modeled by...
