Landscape ecology is repeatedly described as an applied science that can help reduce the negative effects of land-use and land-use changes on biodiversity. However, the extent to which landscape ecology is in fact contributing to planning and design processes is questioned. The aim of this paper is to investigate if and how landscape ecology can be integrated in a planning and design process, and to uncover possible problems that, e.g., landscape architects and planners, may face in such processes. Our conclusion, based on a case study from Asker municipality, Norway, is that such a landscape ecological approach has a lot to offer. However, it is difficult to exploit the potential fully for different reasons, e.g., biodiversity information tends to be specialized, and not easily used by planners and designers, and landscape ecological principles need an adaptation process to be applicable in a real-world situation. We conclude that for the situation to improve, landscape ecologists need to ease this process. In addition, we recommend collaboration across disciplinary boundaries, preferably with a common design concept as a foundation.
景观生态学被反复描述为一门应用科学，可以帮助减少土地利用和土地利用变化对生物多样性的负面影响。然而，景观生态学实际上对规划和设计过程的贡献程度受到质疑。本文旨在调查景观生态学是否以及如何能够融入规划和设计过程，并揭示景观建筑师和规划师等在这些过程中可能面临的问题。我们的结论是，基于挪威阿斯克尔市的一个案例研究，这种景观生态方法有很多优势。然而，由于各种原因，很难充分发挥其潜力，例如，生物多样性信息往往专业化，规划师和设计师难以使用，景观生态学原理需要适应过程才能在实际情况下应用。我们的结论是，为了改善这种情况，景观生态学家需要简化这个过程。此外，我们建议跨学科界限进行合作，最好以共同的设计概念为基础。
