ContextThere是广泛的共识，景观可持续发展的需要，但很少同意如何定义或衡量it.ObjectivesThe的目的是提出一个系统的方法来衡量景观可持续发展的目标的进展。MethodsThe方法是基于现有的文献和我们的经验，在应用该方法，以支持更可持续的农业景观。应用这种方法的例子总结了在美国（美国）的案例研究。这一方法有六个步骤：根据具体情况确定评估的范围和目标;根据效用和相关性选择引起关注的指标并确定优先次序;为每一指标确定基线和目标，并确定供审议的设想方案;获得和评价指标值;分析指标值的趋势和权衡;和良好的做法，开发，应用和assessed.ConclusionsInsights从应用这种方法得到的建议，设计可持续的景观取决于利益相关者的参与，有效的沟通，透明度和信任，及时监测，并不断改进。评估方法的反复应用建立了能力，促进了管理做法的不断改进，从而能够及时应对不断变化的情况，同时仍然朝着一套当地确定的目标前进。
ContextThere is widespread consensus about the need for landscape sustainability but little agreement about how to define or measure it.ObjectivesThe aim of the paper is to present a systematic approach for measuring progress toward landscape sustainability goals.MethodsThe approach was developed based on existing literature and our experiences in applying the approach to support more sustainable agricultural landscapes. Examples applying this approach are summarized for case studies in the United States (U.S.) and Mexico.ResultsThe approach has six steps: the scope and objectives of the assessment are determined based on the particular context; indicators that alert pending concerns are selected and prioritized based on utility and relevance; baselines and targets are established for each indicator, and scenarios for consideration are determined; the indicator values are obtained and evaluated; trends in and tradeoffs among indicator values are analyzed; and good practices are developed, applied, and assessed.ConclusionsInsights gained from applying this approach suggest that designing sustainable landscapes depends on stakeholder engagement, effective communication, transparency and trust, timely monitoring, and continual improvement. Iterative application of the assessment approach builds capacity and promotes continual improvements in management practices, thus enabling timely responses to changing conditions while still progressing toward a set of locally defined goals.
