| Abstract | ||
| Climate change causes land degradation, biodiversity loss, and community displacement. 1.52 billion hectares are degraded, 15 countries face droughts, and 1.2 billion people are at risk. Integrating ecosystem values into land use planning and architecture can mitigate climate change impacts and meet human needs. The goal of this research is to minimize the negative impacts of desertification by suggesting a method of site landscaping and identifying the essential elements of landscape design that can be employed in areas that are susceptible to desertification. The research will examine landscape ecological planning and desertification prevention technology to impede and prevent the spread of sandy land. Furthermore, it will explore the collaboration between landscape architects and other disciplines in addressing desertification. We will utilize three approaches: an inductive method to examine desertification, a descriptive technique to scrutinize international practices, and a comparative tactic to assess tools and methodologies for making decisions regarding landscape design. | ||
