Book Chapter Description

The study of boundaries is central to both geography and topology. By using classic methods of calculus and differential geometry, it is shown how complex the calculation of a boundary change on the plane is, which leads us to opt for topological methods for studying changes in geographical boundaries. All too often, geographers deal with the pair of opposing topological concepts such as interior vs. exterior (or closedness vs. openness), so the topological background of landscape boundaries might be based on the Jordan Curve Theorem. Certain cases in landscape management and landscape planning illustrate the importance of careful design of landscape boundaries for landscape ecology and biogeography.
