Abstract

Applied geo-ecology is advocated as a new academic field for ecological conservation and sustainable land use.<BR>For the ecological conservation, some academic fields such as eco-technology and revegetation technology have already existed. These fields are interdisciplinary sciences of ecology or botany and technology, especially civil engineering. Whereas, geo-ecology (landscape ecology), which belongs to scientific field, has not been well known until now.<BR>Geo-ecology is developed as a specialized field in geography, which treats relationship between the ecosystem and the topographical or geological condition. Recently, geo-ecology or landscape ecology occupy the attention of the field of civil engineering. However, the systematization of applied geo-ecology has to be done by engineering geologists.<BR>The understanding of geo-environments and those change are our strong point and role. Ecological conservation requires the collaboration of many fields not only ecology but also geomorphology, geography, pedology, hydrology, civil engineering. Engineering geology has a suitable position for managing the collaboration because engineering geology originally connects with these all fields closely. Engineering geologists have to consider the methods of investigation, analysis, evaluation, and countermeasure for ecological conservation or sustainable land use more seriously. Engineering geology would be left alone in the environmental field if we do not establish new technology in collaboration with other fields.
