I. Introduction
A. To estimate if it is worth changing the landscape to enhance the transportation system, it is critical to give comprehensive evaluations to current cases.
B. Dr. McQueary (2006) states in the article “Landscape ecology in transportation planning” that while development of transportation systems benefits humans economically, the natural ecosystem is significantly changed by the “road economy” because of land separation. Which is to say, the changing of the landscape, such as a highway or a man-made canal, damages the integrality of the natural habitat for several decades.
C. Researchers are required to concern if the …show more content…
As the evidence can prove, the landscape changing for transportation can also positively assists to repair the damaged environment and provides resources for the surrounding area.
4. In conclusion, the changing landscape for transportation on a waterway would not be limited in one function, but promoting the correlated industry and events to develop.
III. Conclusion
A. All in all, the compromise and aspiration between the economic and sustainable development can represent the necessity of concern about the connection between transportation system and surrounding regional problem.
B. Despite there are still plenty of arguments that are against to build the transportation by changing landscape, the current, undeniable quality of economic catalyzer, the stabilizer of the climate and the vital solver of the geological problem are not to be ignored.
C. Back to the history, when the European conquered the oceans and began The Great Voyage Age, voyaging is the most effective way to travel and trade: and now people are converting this method into the inland. The requirement of economic development strengthens the connection between regions and the transportation system as
