Abstract

The procedure of landscape design planning includes the considered organization of recreational spaces with the objective of increasing their visual attractiveness, efficiency, and ecological stability. Landscape design is an intentional and perceptive process of choosing suitable plants, materials, and elements, taking consideration of numerous variables such as topography, weather conditions, and the preferences of the consumer. Landscape design planning attempts to improve spatial use, encourage ecological responsibility, and facilitate delightful outdoor interactions for both individuals and communities. The aesthetic consequences of landscapes are influenced by the interactions between humans and the environment. There is an interruption between the delight of landscapes for their aesthetic value and the understanding of their ecological significance. The convergence of aesthetic landscape design and sustainability enables the development of sustainable ecosystems based on predefined contexts and concepts. The research examines the relationship between elevated aesthetic and sustainable standards, with a concentrate on optimal visual dimensions. This paper establishes the experiential framework of ecological aesthetics and demonstrates significant landscape and ecological statistics based on Philosophical concepts, therefore expanding the collection of strategies for designing aesthetically engaging landscapes that promote environmental wellness.

Keywords : Philosophical Concepts, Landscape Design Planning, Ecological Aesthetics, Sustainability.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
