Landscape planning, management, and maintenance database management system: a combined modelling framework (ERD & SRL) in carbon sequestration

This paper presents a combined modelling framework that integrates the landscape development process with a Sustainable and Resilient Landscape (SRL) approach, in conjunction with an Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) to create a carbon sequestration database management system that includes both spatial and attribute data. The implementation of database management systems in carbon sequestration database structures has received less attention than their usage in landscape planning, which has been the subject of previous research. This paper considers Chen's ERD notation as a starting point for developing the database management system. Landscape development and management processes are then used as inputs for structuring complex landscape planning data, providing SRL and maintenance in line with carbon sequestration goals. This modelling framework is exemplified in landscape planning, management, and maintenance, assisting stakeholders, decision-makers, facilitative management, and other built environment professionals in identifying trees with high carbon sequestration levels, thereby enhancing environmental sustainability.
